(PR) Harmonix announced today the final soundtrack for its highly anticipated music videogame Rock Band. Featuring dozens of master recordings from the world�s biggest rock artists, the Rock Band soundtrack includes 58 tracks and spans every genre of rock ranging from alternative, classic to heavy metal and punk.

�Our goal with the Rock Band soundtrack was to give players the chance to experience an amazing cross section of rock n� roll from the last four decades - ranging from iconic artists to emerging bands,� stated Eric Brosius, Audio Lead for Harmonix Music Systems.

�We received an overwhelming response from artists and record labels wanting to be a part of the game which made the final selection process for the Rock Band soundtrack challenging, but extremely exciting. Now that the disc track list is locked and Rock Band is being prepped for manufacture, the team continues to work with all the labels and bands to secure an incredibly robust schedule of music releases for download at launch and beyond that will provide players the opportunity to explore different genres of rock and go deeper into artist catalogs if they choose.�
