Boston, Blondie and All-American Rejects kick off Black History Month (that's completely unrelated, actually) for
Rock Band in the Wii Store. Par usual, these have already been available for the 360 and PS3, and each track goes for $2.00 (200 Wii Points) per track.
- Boston: "Hitch a Ride"
- Boston: "Peace of Mind"
- Boston: "Smokin'"
- Boston: "Something About You"
- Blondie: "Hanging on the Telephone"
- All-American Rejects: "Dirty Little Secret"
"Peace of Mind" is your best bet, unless you're more after perennial favorite "Dirty Little Secret," or just looking to complete your Blondie's greatest hits collection with "Hanging on the Telephone."
