iTunes compiles Rock Band tracks
The tracks don't exactly match up to the game, either; first of all, even where the game has cover tracks, iTunes has the original artists (and sometimes, live versions of the tracks, which aren't necessarily the same as the game). And there are no bonus tracks -- Freezepop is in iTunes (as is Mother Hips, my other favorite bonus song) but not on the Rock Band list at all. Still, if you absolutely have to own one of the Rock Band songs, I guess it's nice that iTunes put them all in one place for you.

It's not exactly kosher (as Christmas) but I "received" a folder of these tracks a few months ago that actually includes some of the bonus tracks. I've since added some of the downloadable content as well. Great soundtrack.

bittorrent it, listen a few times, then buy all the individual songs you like off itunes/amazon mp3 and make your own "best of rock band" list just the way you like it. Or buy all the songs and there you go. Takes a whopping 30 mins more and it actually gets you what you want.

Wait... is the author complaining that iTunes didn't put the covers in and replaced them with the original artists? That's a bad thing???
