The Internet has spotted what appears to be a tracklisting for Rock Band 2.

Among the songs making the cut are "Pinball Wizard" by The Who, "Kids In America" by Kim Wilde, "Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers and "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead.

Word comes from the ScoreHero forum (spotted by Kotaku), where members froze a video preview of Rock Band 2 on X-Play and uploaded a capture of the in-game music store.

We can't be sure it's genuine, or that the tracks will actually make it into the finished game. Usually we reach down and feel for authentication.

Rock Band 2 was unveiled yesterday and offers fancier instruments as well as cross-compatible downloadable songs, which means you can transfer your DLC from the original to the sequel or the other way around.

Developer Harmonix has also taken on board all of your feedback in order to make parties and online games much more fun this time around.

Rock Band 2 is due out for Xbox 360 in North America this September, with other platforms "to follow". Distributor EA is yet to set a European date.
