Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is a compilation of songs from most of the original games, re-vamped with the addition of vocal and drum tracks.
Tracks will come from Guitar Hero I, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III, and Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80’s.
They’ve announced that the game will include 48 tracks in total, and so far 12 of them have been announced sorted here in alphabetical order by song name:

- “I Love Rock N Roll” by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts

- “Message In A Bottle” by The Police
- “Nothin’ But A Good Time” by Poison
- “Them Bones” by Alice in Chains
- “Through the Fire and Flames” by Dragonforce
IGN got dibs on breaking the news on the first eight tracks, and they’ve got a pretty cool interview with the makers of the game.
They’ve announced that each Thursday, the will announce more songs from the setlist. They want people to go online to their site and pick which game they announce the setlist from.
We here at Awesomeopolis also want to your input on what songs out of the entire Guitar Hero catalog should make the cut into the game. Well, except for songs in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, because apparently they’re currently facing a 20% in unemployment.
So, take a look at the poll below and vote on the songs that should make the cut! It’s sorted alphabetically by artist name. We’ll see how our readers picks match up with what they actually put into the game once the entire set list is announced.
