Harmonix packs twenty classic tunes from the likes of The Who, Rush, Steve Miller Band, and The Police into the Classic Rock Track Pack, a standalone disk hitting store shelves in May.
The Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock is the latest retail expansion for the Rock Band series, with 20 classic rock tracks playable as a standalone game on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, or PlayStation 2. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners will also be able to download all 20 songs to their normal Rock Band or Rock Band 2 set list.
It's a rather lovely selection, as you can see below, with two songs each from Boston, The Who, The Police, Steve Miller Band, and Rush, with a smattering of random solo tracks from Stone Roses, Lenny Kravitz, Free, and others, just to keep things spicy. I'm a bit confused as to how Siouxsie and The Banshees made it onto the disc, but I won't complain all that much.
The Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock should hit store shelves on May 19th, at a price of $29.99.
