None of the songs on Guitar Hero: Smash Hits will be a surprise, since they're all songs that appeared on previous, guitar-only titles in the series. But still. You need to know what they are.

Activision have today released a partial tracklist, showcasing 12 of the songs that will feature in the game. Since none of them are Helmet's Unsung or Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood, I have grave fears for this title, but in the interests of fairness, maybe they'll be revealed later.

— "I Love Rock N Roll" - Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
