The Songs
Even with all of Rock Band's innovation, at the end of the day, it's really all about the music. Former E Street Band and The Sopranos cast member Steven Van Zandt is chairing Harmonix's musical selection committee, and so far he hasn't let fans down. The main set list is an even mix between old and new classics, the majority of which are original recordings. The downloadable content is even more exciting.

Rock Band's downloadable songs will come in a variety of packs and purchase plans. Most songs will cost $1.99 apiece, with some costing as little as $.99, and others as much as $2.99. Three-song packs will run $5.49. Full albums will also be available, but while some have been confirmed, they have yet to be priced or dated. One note for future European Rock Bands: songs will be localized, with different territories receiving varying DLC options.
