Shaun White Snowboarding Soundtrack Announced
Ubisoft Redefines the Word "Classic"
by Sean
Ubisoft today revealed the soundtrack listing for the upcoming snowboard simulator Shaun White Snowboarding. Although neither as vast nor as comprehensive as the soundtrack for, say, GTA IV, there is a pretty good, and really diverse selection of tracks on this game.
Ubi wants to make sure you know that "Shaun’s love for classic rock played an important role in inspiring the final list of songs for his video game". I guess "classic" could be used to describe songs like Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" or Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit; but can you really use that adjective for Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend"? I don't think so.
Here's the full release and soundtrack listings:

good soundtrack indeed and a game i really want to get..
i wonder though, will they allow us the option to play our own playlist from our system?
Extra Points for including "Cult of Personality"
Holy shit, "White Rabbit" and "Hurricane" are so good, but so out of place in this game.
"Working for the Weekend" NOT a classic?!?!? This outrage will not stand!
hells yeah!
the more "cult of personality" in this world, the better
Just wait until you all play the game....the music is sadly the best part. Where the F*#K is the next SSX game???? Sorry Shaun White, at least you have all those gold medals still.
@HorrayForRobots
I was wondering the exact same thing about SSX.
@HFR, is it really that bad bro?
Agreed on the SSX... i won't lie... SSX is one of my fave games to this day, to just pick up and screw around with... but kudos on the awesome soundtrack to see working for the weekend and hurricane together is pretty amusing, but I dig it!
