Band Hero set list, details finalized

Want to rock out with your kids instead of your grown-up friends? Band Hero aims to make rhythm gaming more family friendly when it's released on November 3 (for all consoles), filled with G- and PG-friendly tracks, both classics from yesteryear and new stuff from today's pop tart teens.

By and large the music is quite family friendly -- though one might argue that "Bad Reputation" and the vaguely suggestive "Whip It" may be a bit rich for kids.

Band Hero will also for the first time import songs from a previous Guitar Hero game: 69 tracks from Guitar Hero 5 can be imported into Band Hero for a cost of about $6 (480 Microsoft Points, 600 Wii Points) and played without having to flip discs, and "forward compatible tracks" from Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Smash Hits can also be imported. Previously purchased and downloaded tracks for any Guitar Hero game can also be played on Band Hero, giving the game a total available set list of about 300 songs. Additional details on importable tracks can be found here.
