This Sunday, Rock Band 2 arrives. On October 26, the Guitar Hero guys strike back with Guitar Hero World Tour, which will add drums and vocals to the game, just like Rock Band has (well, almost like Rock Band).
86 tracks will ship with the game, and the full list was just announced. (I'm pasting it verbatim, so if there are any typos, don't blame me, blame The Man!)
Some really great titles on here: "One Way or Another" is a killer karaoke title. Can't wait to belt out "The One I Love" from R.E.M. and Steve Miller's "The Joker." "Rebel Yell" and "Eye of the Tiger" are almost kitsch classics. And YouTube will surely be filled with hundreds of tracks of people trying to sing "Santeria" but failing to realize they don't have the range for it halfway through.
As is typical with the Guitar Hero series, the list is heavier on hardcore guitar tracks with a little heavy metal to be found on the list. Classic rock is well-represented, with two Jimi Hendrix songs, including "Purple Haze."
Which set list is better, Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero World Tour? You be the judge!

Only 5 song I really really like, 2 of which have already been or will be released for rock band. And the fact that Rock Band has Chop Suey, that's nearly enough for me to want the game in and of itself. Hopefully Guitar Hero will at least keep up with it's higher difficulty guitar playing, if it reduces it's difficulty to that of rock band's then I really will have no need to play it..
Guitar Hero has three Tool tracks, therefore it wins.
Nothing against Tool, but three songs from one band seems excessive.
Bleh. I see Ozzy Osbourne, then Paramore and AFI. That disgusts me as a lover of classic rock and anything heavy. GHWT: fail
