Currently it is unknown if it will be a downloadable affair or if it will be similar to the AC/DC Live Track Pack that was released last year. It is also unknown how many songs will be in the final project. MTV Games and Harmonix promises to reveal more about the project next month.
The Pearl Jam Rock Band project will be released sometime in 2010.
Below is the full list of songs that are available in the voting process:
Pearljam seems like kind of an obsecure choice for this kind of stint.
I hate live performance versions of songs, I would rather play the originals. I am not a fan of Pearl Jam though, so I guess it doesn't matter here.
I've never even heard of Pearl Jam until a couple of weeks ago, and now they are getting their own music game. Talk about a meteoric rise to fame.
Yeah, I wouldn't call the Track Pack actual sequels within the Rock Band canon. This game is coming out next year, meaning that this year we only get two games; Rock Band Lego and Beatles. This still doesn't does the massive milking Activision is doing with Guitar Hero, with more than 4 releases in just a year.

You're kidding, right?
As a music fan, it's obvious to me that the Rock Band people know, and care, about music.

Most of the Harmonix team are musicians themselves.
I also notice that Immortality is not one of the possible tracks. :( And I was hoping for Yellow Ledbetter just so that we could find out what the lyrics are.
He then proceeds to tell the story surrounding the lyrics, saying it was written around the time of the Gulf War when “Papa Bush” was President. He knew an “alternative-looking” friend from Seattle who received a “yellow letter” when his brother died in the war. Ed was walking with this friend and there was a flag hanging from a porch on a house along the road. When the friend acknowledged the flag patriotically, the people seemed to not reciprocate his homage (”but they don’t wave”) because of his appearance.
The "meteoric rise" part was a joke, but I'm not kidding about the other part. I don't follow the whole music scene so I don't know anything about bands and groups and such. I might have heard of Pearl Jam before but I wouldn't remember them. I'm sure there are lots of music groups I've never heard of or wouldn't recall.I've never even heard of Pearl Jam until a couple of weeks ago, and now they are getting their own music game.

And they work under the MTV umbrella, so yeah thats some musical integrity right there ;)
I don't understand why they keep doing all these band specific games as their Live incarnations. Though I really enjoy live incarnations of songs, I feel like the fidelity of the sound isn't quite there for a game based on music. AC/DC Live really drove that point home for me.
It's also a bit of a bummer that Pearl Jam was the next band on Harmonix's list. I really dislike their music, and I heard enough of them on the radio in the 90s that I doubly dislike them.
On that note, where's my Rock Band: System of a Down Edition?
