Good catch, my mistake
From Wikipoodia:
Los Angeles was a colony founded in the early 1960’s by a little know, now defunct, and very very tiny European country known has “Freaking Britannia”.
The mother country, Freaking Britannia, only lasted one short year from it’s founding, when it was realized that the keys to the capital building had fallen down the nation’s only untainted well, and no amount of cursing would ever be successful at getting them back. Has a result, the citizens of Freaking Britannia being depressed horribly at the loss of the keys, threw a week long party, centered mainly around the ritualistic consumption of large amounts of mind altering local vegetables known has Britannia Berries.
During the course of the party, the citizens of Freaking Britannia, understandably, got horribly confused. Has a result of the confusion, they all thought it a great idea to pack themselves into a garbage scow, and set themselves adrift. They ended up washed ashore of the coast of California 3 years later.
After mostly peaceful first contact took place with a local group of wandering hippies, purchase of the hippie’s recently burned out commune was made for the sum of $238.59 U.S., in the form of 800,478,642,959 Freaking Pounds Freaking Britannian currency, and a Freaking colony was formed. Unfortunately, the colony was short lived, succumbing to an earthquake within ten years, washing all of the Freaking Britannians back into the ocean whence they came, but not before a handful of it’s citizens managed to form a garage band by the name of “The Doors” (Not to be confused with the popular American band of the same name).
The Doors of Freaking Britannia colony saw brief popularity performing with a group of trained skunks, in a van, down by the river, before mysteriously disappearing altogether, only to resurface again in the early 2000s to file lawsuit against the American Doors over rights to the name. Unfortunately for them, the case was thrown out when it was realized that 4 out of 5 of the band’s members where wanted skunk molesters in Canada, and the fifth was on at least three terrorist watch lists in countries that have attention seeking issues. All members were deported promptly to Paraguay, where they now star in the popular local reality show, “Those Crazy Stupid Freaking Britannians”.

Not too bad of a list. But I find it incredibly disappointing and strange that the E3 Trailer song : Revolution…Did not make it into the game. What is with that?

Exact same thoughts there mate, I was searching for that amazing song but unfortunately 
Did they ever say why that track wasn’t put into the final game?
I’ll probably only be listening to Bass Arena, but it sounds like a fine selection to listen to. =)
Also lol country music, just no.
Edit: Hang on HOSPITAL RECORDS RADIO! <3<3<3 YES.

Meh, rock is overexposed. It’s nice to take a break from it sometimes. There are definitely some songs I like in the tracklist, though I do wish the classical selection weren’t so cliche. Ultimately, I reserve judgement of any of the music until I hear it while driving. After all, this is the only meaningful way by which to determine the quality of the music!
Then switch the station, that ain’t no excuse the exclude it from a game.
Not only do I loose my favorite local classic rock station to the whimsy of a station manager with a fetish for playing Jay Z and Kid Rock on the same station, now Forza Horizon 2 completely neglects any and all rock.
If I were a game dev I wouldn’t let Rob Da Bank pay me to assemble a song list.
Here’s a good suggestion for a classic rock station
HORIZON ROAD WARRIOR!
.38 Special - Hold On Loosely
AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
Alice Cooper - Under My Wheels
Allman Brothers Band - Midnight Rider
Blackfoot - Highway Song
Bob Seger - Turn The Page
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Don Felder - Takin’ A Ride
Doors, The - Roadhouse Blues
Doobie Brothers - China Grove
Eagles, The - Life In The Fast Lane
Foghat - Slow Ride
George Thorogood - Gear Jammer
James Gang - Walk Away
Kiss - Detroit Rock City
Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll
Molly Hatchet - Flirtin’ With Disaster
Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart
Sammy Hagar - I Can’t Drive 55
Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
Steve Miller Band - Rock’n Me
Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town
Van Halen - Panama
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
ZZTop - La Grange
There ya go, proper classic rock station with a heavy road trip feel; some you could even race to! I didn’t even break a sweat… Now, beyond licensing issues; ain’t no excuse for something like this not to exist in Horizon.

…did you even try listening to those indie stations?
I have & I can’t stand it! Now…to each their own…not for me to say any type of music sucks because everyone has their own tastes & opinions. I’m from the mountains of Kentucky. Most folks right off the bat would think that I only listen to country music. I for one do listen to country music (not the new “bro-country” stuff)…HOWEVER… I also listen, which could be expected, Bluegrass music as well.
My favorite music is Heavy/ Thrash/ Speed Metal & Bluegrass. I also listen & love classic rock, oldies rock, Southern Rock, older rap (80’s & NWA type 90’s rap), Classical, & some techno (i.e. Prodigy). I just can’t get into the indie stuff.
Would’ve been great to have more of a selection; like the selection on GTA 5.
No, and I’m curious as to why that’s even relevant. I’d really like to see how you weave this potential “expand your horizons” argument into being a relevant argument against including classic rock; other than being a pun based on the title of the game.

Um… because there’s ROCK in them?
Oh, so you’re going the nit picking route? Perhaps instead of saying “any and all rock” I should have written “Classic Rock”, like I had presented before.

You said ‘Any and all rock’. That’s hardly nitpicking lol
