‘Rock Band Unplugged’ Track List Announced

Electronic Arts, Harmonix and MTV have revealed the full track list for Rock Band Unplugged, coming to the PSP in North America and Europe on June 9. That’s welcome news if you’ve been spending too much time wondering if Rush’s “The Trees” would make the cut. It did.

The setlist, 41 tracks in all, are tunes that have previously appeared in the Rock Band music library. Nine tracks, including The Jackson 5’s “ABC,” are exclusive to the PSP for a limited time before becoming available as downloadable content on other console versions.

We’ve listed all the songs below and must say it’s not a bad line-up; can’t complain with Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” and The Police’s “Message in a Bottle” sharing musical space with Siouxsie & the Banshees’ “The Killing Jar” and Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung.”

Rock Band Unplugged will retail for about $39.99.

Harmonix has also detailed the first round of content for Rock Band Unplugged, which will feature 10, downloadable tracks from their music store – available June 9. The first tracks will be:

• 30 Seconds to Mars – “The Kill”
• Belly – “Feed the Tree”
• Disturbed – “Inside the Fire”
• Lynyrd Skynyrd – “Gimme Three Steps”
• Muse – “Hysteria”
• Mute Math – “Typical”
• No Doubt – “Just a Girl”
• Oasis – “Wonderwall”
• Paramore – “Crushcrushcrush”
• Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Under the Bridge”

To commemorate the debut of the Rock Band franchise on the PSP system, Sony plans to release a limited edition Rock Band-branded PSP Entertainment Pack at the launch of Rock Band Unplugged. The $199.99 bundle will include the game, a “Piano Black” PSP system, a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo™, and, in the United States only, a voucher to download the film “School of Rock” from PlayStation Store.
