After the break, we've posted what we feel to be the best guess to what the unannounced and unreleased songs are which was compiled by Xanthous over at the Rock Band forums. We say best guess because the DLC data that was found only listed the song names and not the artists. As a result, there are some song titles that could be associated with a few different bands. Also, remember that this list is by no means official (even though data like this has predicted future Rock Band DLC) and was discovered through semi-hacking means. Then again, we're rather confident that these songs will get a Rock Band release seeing that Harmonix's hmxsean already acknowledged the leak saying that these tracks are "unconfirmed and subject to change" and to "stay tuned for confirmation of Rock Band DLC closer to their release". An official statement that sounds more like an "oops, we're bad at keeping secrets" remark than a flat out denial.
Anyway, quit reading and get clicking! There's rumored Rock Band DLC to analyze after the break ... now go!

there's going to be so much Rock Band DLC...
I hope they add some extra features to the game though... especially an online Band World Tour mode.

Instead of releasing heaps and heaps of DLC, maybe they could get round to releasing the actual game in the UK/Australia?

I keep holding my breath for more Queen, but specifically, where is Bohemian Rhapsody in all of this? I mean seriously, isn't it the point to act a bit like Wayne and Garth while playing these games?

Why is everyone so excited for this? Yeah its more DLC. But its the same artists that we already have seen and heard! Why is there not more of a variety?
Nirvana (Please stop, wasn't that great of a band)
Weezer
Rolling Stones
STP
Foo Fighter (atleast give us Everlong!)
It seems that MTV and Harmonix haven't been able to or is unwilling to extend the invite to any other artist. Could this be a money issue? Do they not want to pay any more bands for use of thier songs? Is it a difficult job/task for them to ACTUALLY make the songs into Rock Band Tracks?
Honestly I would be happy if I say more of a diversity in the music that is being brought in as DLC.
maybe:
At The Drive In
Daft Punk (Robot Rock)
Built To Spill
My Morning Jacket
Mars Volta
Modest Mouse
Band of Horses
TV On The Radio
Just to name a few...

Wow. I agree on all your points, invictus1er, ESPECIALLY the bands you have listed there...it's like you've read my mind (or stole my ipod). I'd kill to play "Wolf Like Me" or "One Armed Scissor" or "One Big Holiday" ...and while we're at it, how bout some Arcade Fire? The Walkmen? Wolf Parade? LCD Soundsystem?
Props to your taste in music, my friend. Props.

Ugh.
Those bands in your list wouldn't sell as well as, say, a Nirvana pack. They're just providing what people want.
I did get a laugh out of your "is it too hard for them?"/"can they not get more tracks?" questions, though. It's EA and MTV. They can do whatever they want. They can come into your house and kick your dog.
I'm not sure what you're thinking anyway, that's a pretty lackluster list you gave. Daft Punk in Rock Band? No thanks. Maybe if they bring out Geek Band or something.

yeah, it would be a shame if they continued to follow the "popular bands pretty much everyone's heard of" model for choosing dlc. i would kill for some indie music, but it's true that most songs i would gladly shell out money for wouldn't get many downloads from the rest of the community. surely they can at least humor me a little.

I agree, it's not just sticking with popular bands, it's a lack of band variety in general. I'm guessing there are royalty problems or something. Not sure why... releasing a song for Rock Band should be pretty much like printing money for the band involved.

If Hysteria is the Def Leppard song, I'm gonna beat somebody over the head at Harmonix. Muse deserves it's own 3 song pack if you ask me. >_

oh, truly. one of the few good things about gh3 is the inclusion of muse, even though they pretty much negated all of the good aspects by making it an assload of repetitive strumming.

Prince would be awesome. They need to throw "Kiss" up there. Anyone who can yell the screaming near the end should get a 16x multiplier.

Don't worry, Hysteria is NOT the Def Leppard song. That would go against Rock Bands policy of putting FRIGGIN nothing from the 80s on their damn game. Oh..and their policy of releasing DLC from the same damn bands over and over and over again. Someone shoot me.
