Credit given where credit's due. The folks over at Joystiq have toiled away at their computers, researching and pieceing together the most comprehensive track listing for Guitar Hero 5 on the web. And while this list isn't entirely 100% official, a lot of the tracks listed here also appear on IGN's article announcing the first 24 tracks of the game. Therefore, it's a good guess that in due time the entirety of this list will be made official. To add our own two cents, this is a pretty damn good listing for a music game that is fifth in a series. You would think they would start running out of good ideas sooner or later, but they've come away with a good balance of songs here. Finally, also listed below are a few of the game's featured characters.
