Established in 2007 by Harmonix Music Systems, the original creators of the Guitar Hero series, the Rock Band franchise has been met with incredible success. With over 830 songs playable as of September 2009 and over 1000 expected by the end of the year, the variety that RB provides makes it a weekly staple at Club.
