There's less than a month to go until the release of Guitar Hero II, and the makers of the game have just announced the game's complete song list. (Well, the songs you don't have to unlock, anyway.)As was the case with the first Guitar Hero, I don't know very many of these songs (though I know most of the groups). And also as was the case with the first Guitar Hero, I expect I'm going to know these songs really well soon enough.

I know 18 of these songs right off the bat (I'm counting the STP song even though I'm not sure which one it is... damned song titles) which is more than I knew from GH1, so that's pretty cool.
I'm surprised to see the Dick Dale song in the last bracket, it doesn't seem that tough to me. Surf music is just fast.
Nice to know they picked a song for this set by a pretentious band I hate, Kansas (was Boston last time).
Sweet Child O' Mine will rock my world. I'd been kind of meaning to pick up the first Guitar Hero, but was waiting for some sort of price drop (good luck, I know). With this set of songs, I will have no problem picking up Guitar Hero II at full price.
GH1 is on my pile of games I had picked up, but haven't played yet (I got a good deal on a mint-ish pre-owned one) and if I can pick this up for normal price (sans "controller" $$$) I probably will... I recognize a bunch of these by title but I was never really a song-title-rememberin' guy anyway. I think I'll know more when I hear them...
the mole
I am a GH freak, bought it two weeks ago. Fantastic game, top 3 ever for me. Really looking forward to GH2, though I still can't get by medium level Cowboys from Hell or Bark at the Moon in GH1.
The tunes I like, VH "You Really Got Me", Sabbath "War Pigs" and a nice suprise having a Primus in there but Rush "YYZ" takes the top, my fingers hurt already!
