Next Week In Rock Band: Same As It Ever Was

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Next week's additions to the various Rock Band Music Stores are riding on a new wave, with five tracks from Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Talking Heads.

Cue excitement on my part as some of the Talking Heads songs I would actually like to play join the previously released "Psycho Killer" on the Rock Band Music Store for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. "Psycho Killer" is a fine song, but for me nothing says Talking Heads quite like "And She Was," "Once in a Lifetime," or "Take Me to the River." "Crosseyed & Painless" and "Girlfriend is Better" round out the Talking Heads Pack 01, available next week for $8.49 or 680 Microsoft points.

Additionally, tracks from Avenged Sevenfold, Oasis, The Jam, and Rage Against the Machine will also be included in next week's PS3 and 360 releases.

Scroll down for a full list of tracks coming to the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PSP versions of Rock Band. Note that Wii songs marked with an asterisk are only $1, or half price, and paying $1.99 for a Rock Band Unplugged song still seems a little steep to me.
