LEGO Rock Band Ships With 45 Songs, Music Censorship

LEGO Rock Band will ship with 45 songs including tunes from Queen, Vampire Weekend, Katrina & The Waves and, of course, Bon Jovi. But you will only be able to purchase family friendly music from the Rock Band store.

LEGO Rock Band’s support of Rock Band store purchases is limited to only those songs “identified to be suitable for all ages,” according to a press release.

“Those cleared songs are the only tracks that will appear within the LEGO Rock Band store for purchase. The LEGO Rock Band store will continually highlight any new family-friendly tunes that can be played across the Rock Band platform as they are released for Rock Band. ”

While I understand why Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and MTV Games might think this is a good idea (and maybe this is a ratings issue), shouldn’t they let parents make the decision on which music their children can listen to?

Songs included on LEGO Rock Band can be transfered to your hard drive to play on other Rock Band games for $10 for all but the Wii version.

Here’s your full listing of songs for the game due out on the Playstation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 this holiday. I’ve also listed out the 23 songs included on the DS version of the game.
