Players who own both Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5 can import 69 of the 85 songs in Guitar Hero 5 into Band Hero.  5Frets.com has both song lists: which Guitar Hero 5 songs export to Band Hero, and which songs do not export.

The cost to export GH5 for PS3/360/Wii players is $6 / 480 MSP / 600 Wii Points.

For those who prefer to stick with the Guitar Hero 5 interface (and online players), you can export 61 of Band Hero's 65 songs into GH5 for $5 / 400 MSP / 500 Wii Points.

(Or if you're really a die-hard Guitar Hero fan, you can export both ways, giving you GH5's songs in Band Hero, and Band Hero's songs in GH5…)

Below are the 16 GH5 songs that weren't exported to Band Hero.  Why not?  Reports suspect some songs were kept from exporting to the E10-rated family friendly Band Hero due to their risque titles or content.  (For example: Sex on Fire).  However, the Band Hero 65 track song list includes songs like "Bad Reputation" which repeat the line "I don't give a damn about my bad reputation", making the censorship a questionable claim.

More likely, the tired old music licensing disputes are what prevent the following songs from exporting.

16 Guitar Hero 5 Songs Not Available for Import to Band Hero:

  1. "2 Minutes to Midnight" – Iron Maiden
  2. "All Along the Watchtower" – Bob Dylan
  3. "American Girl" – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
  4. "Dancing With Myself" – Billy Idol
  5. "Du Hast" – Rammstein
  6. "Fame" – David Bowie
  7. "Feel Good Inc." – Gorillaz
  8. "Incinerate" – Sonic Youth
  9. "Nearly Lost You" – Screaming Trees
  10. "Play That Funky Music" – Wild Cherry
  11. "Plug In Baby" – Muse

    Man, I got excited for a second when i loaded your site, i thought there was an announcement on more Export songs :)

    As for those 16 songs, i am pissed that they left out 11 of the songs that i was hopeing that would export.  See i imported/exported both ways, just because i love the DS party mode on Band Hero where everyone can pass the DS around and pick thier songs and you dont have to worry about always going to the setlist screen while playing the game.  I just dont get why "Fame"/"Under Pressure" didnt make the export with "Lets Dance" by Bowie already on the BH setlist.  Also "Play that Funky Music" COME ON!  this song SCREAMS Band Hero!

      I just asked Activision yesterday about additional song Exports and they said to stay tuned but they couldn't tell me anything right now.  Bummer…  But I'm definitely watching like a hawk.

      Good call on Fame, Under Pressure, and Play that Funky Music!  I agree it would make a lot of sense for those to be in Band Hero.

      That DS party mode sounds awesome, now I'm kinda wishing GH5 had that too.  It's like a remote commander for Guitar Hero.

        I second that. Under Pressure, Plug In Baby, *** On Fire, 2 Minutes to Midnight, & Runnin' Down A Dream are the only songs keeping me from buying Band Hero (when I transfer my stuff to PS3).
