Downloadable songs

Lego Rock Band also supports existing downloadable content from the Rock Band series, as well as songs exported from other Rock Band titles that has been "identified to be suitable for all ages", except in the Wii version; however, songs released after Rock Band 3 are not compatible with Lego Rock Band. The Lego Rock Band Music Store only includes Rock Band songs which have been cleared for use in the game. Also, any exported content from the original Rock Band and its Track Packs deemed "Family Friendly" can be used in the game. Users do not need to be signed in to use content that was downloaded on another account, as long as it is on the same console system, thus allowing a child's account to access the filtered set of music from a parent's account library.

Reception

Eurogamer reviewer Keza MacDonald called Lego Rock Bands setlist "an unusual selection... but undeniably varied", but was disappointed by the small number of songs. Game Informers Bryan Vore referred to the setlist as being "weak", with "several throwaway tracks you’ll forget the instant they’re over." Jack DeVries, a reviewer for IGN, felt that the game has a varied setlist, but not enough songs compared to Rock Band 2 and Band Hero.
