Music games make up for a large amount of profit generated by the gaming industry, as they offer multiple ways of getting money from the average gamer. From game sales to DLC tracks to plastic peripherals, there are a lot of things that attract the players.

Another interesting part is the introduction of specially branded versions, dedicated to certain iconic bands. One recent example is the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band, which will arrive from Harmonix at the beginning of September, right after Activision's Guitar Hero 5 release.

Set to track the history of one of the most popular bands on the planet, this title has generated a lot of hype after it was announced. We've seen that members or associates of former members of the game are working hard with the development team, and now we know 25 songs out of the 45 scheduled to be included in the game.

From classics like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band or Yellow Submarine to I Got a Feeling or I Wanna Be Your Man, nostalgics will certainly remember a lot of them. This is exactly what Harmonix is betting on and will definitely make a lot of profit when the game will be released. Here are all of the tracks announced up until now.

"Back in the U.S.S.R." "Can't Buy Me Love" "Day Tripper" "Eight Days a Week" "Get Back" "Here Comes the Sun" "I Am the Walrus" "I Feel Fine" "I Saw Her Standing There" "I Want to Hold Your Hand" "Octopus's Garden" "Paperback Writer" "Revolution" "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" "Taxman" "Twist and Shout" "Within You Without You" "Yellow Submarine" "With A Little Help From My Friends" "Birthday" "I Got a Feeling" "Dig a Pony" "Do You Want To Know A Secret" "I Wanna Be Your Man" "And Your Bird Can Sing"

Don't forget that the game is scheduled to appear on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii on September 9. Until then, you can get reacquainted with some of these songs.
