Harmonix Announces Track List for Rock Band 2 - Classic Rock Fans Rejoice

Whether or not you are a player of Rock Band (or it's very close cousin, Guitar Hero), it is having a huge impact on the music world, both as a marketing and an educational tool. Artists have a new avenue in which to market their music (old and new) and it is exposing some of the classic music of the past to a young audience who may not have sought it out on their own.
