What songs from the Rock Band discs don't import into later versions?

Question

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?

Answer 1

These songs can't be exported and played in other versions of Rock Band:

Rock Band 1

• "Enter Sandman" by Metallica
• "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath
• "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden
• "Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers *

• "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden *

  *: This song can be exported and played in Rock Band 2, but couldn't be played in Rock Band 3 when it was released. However, it can be played after installing a patch released November 8, 2011.
