List of songs in Rock Band

On the song selection of the game, Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos says: "We'll be covering a great breadth, from metal to classic rock to Southern rock to everything in between".[32] Five record labels agreed to supply master recordings by their artists for use in the game, including EMI Music, Hollywood Records, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group's Universal Music Enterprises, and Warner Music Group's Rhino Entertainment.[33]

On June 7, 2007, Harmonix announced that they would be taking requests for possible songs and bands. Fans were able to visit to the game's official site and nominate up to four songs they wanted to be in the game.[34]

"Rockaway Beach", originally announced as a playable song in-game, has since been replaced with another Ramones' track, "Blitzkrieg Bop".

The game disc will feature a soundtrack of 45 licensed tracks, in addition to 13 bonus songs, and future downloadable content.[35][36] Additionally, there will be localized content differences between the regional releases of the game, both on-disc and through downloadable content.[5]The soundtrack, as announced thus far, is listed below.
