I know there are certain songs that cannot be imported from one version of Rock Band into another due to licensing issues. What songs from Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are restricted in this way?

  • When you say "(To RB2 Only)" does that mean you can only import them to Rock Band 2, or that you are only blocked from importing them to Rock Band 2?

  • It means the exported song is playable in RB2, but not in RB3.
