Rock Band Hits Pack 02 (DLC)

I've spent enough time with Rock Band 4 to know that the way you build a setlist matters more than most players admit. Buying songs one at a time is fine when you have a specific band in mind, but if what you actually want is a room full of people arguing over what to play next, a broad bundle is a smarter buy. Hits Pack 02, released in November 2019, is exactly that kind of bundle: twenty songs pulled from across the decades, all landing in your Rock Band 4 library at once. The tracklist here leans heavily toward recognizable names and familiar titles, which is the whole point. You get Aerosmith's "Love In An Elevator", Pearl Jam's "Even Flow", Van Halen's "Dance The Night Away", Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son", and Kansas's "Carry On Wayward Son" sitting alongside more surprising inclusions like Lorde's "Royals", Sia's "Cheap Thrills", and Queens of the Stone Age's "The Way You Used To Do". The spread is deliberately wide. There is classic rock, country (Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and Kenny Rogers's "The Gambler"), power pop, alt-rock, and a couple of genuine curveballs. Someone in the room will always find something they want to play. For Rock Band 4 specifically, these tracks slot in like any other DLC. Guitar, bass, drums, and vocals are all supported. The charts range from approachable to properly demanding depending on the track - "Even Flow" and "Carry On Wayward Son" will test experienced players on guitar and drums, while something like "Royals" or "Move Along" by The All-American Rejects gives newer players something to grab onto without embarrassment. The mix of difficulty levels across twenty songs is actually one of the bundle's quiet strengths, making it practical for groups of uneven skill. The honest caveat is that this is a pure value calculation. You are not getting deep catalog cuts or rare licensing wins - you are getting songs that Harmonix correctly identified as crowd-ready. A few selections feel like filler next to the genuine standouts, and if five or six of the twenty tracks mean nothing to you, the math shifts. Anyone who already owns several of these songs individually will want to check their library before purchasing. But for someone building out a Rock Band 4 collection, or looking for a single purchase that works across a mixed group of ages and tastes, the breadth of this pack is genuinely useful. No single genre dominates, no era gets ignored, and the room-filling logic behind the curation holds up.
