Harmonix and MTV Games announced recently that Rock Band now has reached a total of more than 1,000 songs available from more than 390 bands for players to enjoy in Rock Band on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii platforms.

Besides the traditional DLC or purchased collections on disc, the Rock Band team also plans to deliver content through the upcoming Rock Band Network, which will feature a toolset allowing content owners to craft their tracks into playable, sellable Rock Band songs.

“When we launched Rock Band two years ago, we made a promise to create a music gaming experience that delivered on a weekly basis more songs and artists than ever imagined,” said Alex Rigopulos, co-founder and CEO of Harmonix Music Systems. “We’re extremely proud to pass this remarkable milestone of over 1,000 songs in Rock Band and will continue to innovate and bring more of the best music to Rock Band players all over the world.”

feature“The library of great songs available to players on the Rock Band platform is vast and continues to grow,” said Paul DeGooyer, Senior Vice President of Electronic Games and Music at MTV Networks Music Group. “This milestone reflects a tremendous amount of hard work from the world-class teams at Harmonix, MTV Games and at our artist, management, label and publishing partners.”

  1. I really had no idea that there were this many songs for Rock Band. Wow. I thought the game only had Blackhole Sun and Mississippi Queen!

  2. And Creep. How could you forget Creep?

  3. I try to forget it every day.

  4. It warms the cockles of my heart to see Harmonix carrying strong. I hope Neversoft bites it. After all the bad moves in GH3 they deserve to get crucified.

  5. I was just going through the DLC list yesterday with Weezer and it blew my mind.

    TV on the Radio?

    The Shins?

    oooooh man.
