Harmonix has positioned Rock Band 2 as the next phase of a platform -- not a new game that requires new peripherals, but an addition to the first for early adopters and a reinvitation for those that haven't yet joined the band. And the company looks to be following through with that promise. Kotaku reports that a transcribed interview from IGN Insider claims all songs from the original game will be available as free downloadable content in Rock Band 2, possibly doubling its setlist right off the bat.
On top of this juicy bit of info, there are rumors circulating that suggest two completely different setlists for the game. Last week we shared an early look at the list of songs from a screen cap, and both of these leaked setlists have a lot in common with it. Both include almost all of the songs from last week's list, with the exception of "Kids in America" by The Muffs, which only appears on the first rumored list. With two track lists competing this way, one of them could be pure bull plop, or either of the lists could be mixing in planned downloadable content with songs that will actually be on the disc.
We'll continue speculating on the musical offerings in Rock Band 2 until Harmonix gives us the official skinny. In the meantime, bask in the knowledge that Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer," Foo Fighters' "Everlong," The Presidents' "Lump," and Modest Mouse's "Float On" appear on both lists, among many others that overlap. Those choices, at least, seem pretty likely.
