Band Hero Releases Pop Song Playlist

Band Hero doesn't come out until November 17, but that hasn't stopped gamers from taking to the internet to speculate about what kind of music the game will feature. It's been described as "Guitar Hero Goes Pop" and with a previous mention of Taylor Swift headlining the game, many were left wondering if it would be a little Teenybopperish.

Well, some news about the game was released this week and while the music is definitely more pop than Guitar Hero, it's not just stuff that appeals to fourteen year old girls. There's something for the 80's fans, the 90's fans, and some current music, as well. (See the entire playlist below.)

In addition to the list of songs featured in the game, it was made clear that the songs would be importable to Guitar Hero and vice versa for a small fee. Players will have the opportunty to create the band they've always wanted with any combination of guitar, drum and vocals.
