Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that next week’s DLC release of tracks from The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s album, Are You Experienced, will push the Rock Band platform past the 2,000-song milestone. The classic song “Are You Experienced?” will be No. 2,000.

More than 2,000 tracks will be available for play in Rock Band 3 when it is released October 29 for Xbox 360 and PS3. 1,500 songs are available for Wii.

“The success of our song downloads has afforded us the opportunity to approach Rock Band as an interactive music platform and reshape the way gamers think of expansion content,” said Paul DeGooyer, senior vice president of electronic games, music and programming for MTV Networks. “Our commitment to weekly releases, disc export, forward compatibility of downloads and the launch of the Rock Band Network were milestones in the development of Rock Band’s vibrant digital business. Now, with the release of our 2,000th song, we are reaffirming our commitment to present new music every week – and with the new features in Rock Band 3, there will be more ways than ever to experience it.”

The Rock Band Music Store now features songs from more than 800 different artists, including Jimi Hendrix, The Who, AC/DC, Green Day, Queen, Slayer, Metallica, Journey, Bob Marley and many more.

You’ll find the complete list over on the Rock Band forums.
