Not a day without a Rock Band-related announcement seems to be the company policy for Harmonix and MTV Games, the developer and publisher of the very popular Rock Band series of titles. After revealing what songs owners of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will get to download this week and the following one, the company has now announced what tracks will be available for download on the Wii version of Rock Band 2.

This week, after the last ones just followed the trend on the biggest consoles and added something from the back catalog, Wii rockers will get some very special tracks, including a Pearl Jam special pack and tracks from other popular bands like Fall Out Boy, Faith No More or Devo.

From Pearl Jam, Rock Band 2 owners will get almost all of the tracks featured on the group's first album, Ten. Faith No More and Fall Out Boy bring a clever dose of irony, with the We Care a Lot and I Don't Care tracks. The tracks announced for the full-fledged console version on the other consoles don't appear, but, if the trend continues, they will be here in the following weeks.

Here is the full tracklist:

Pearl Jam "Once" Pearl Jam "Even Flow" Pearl Jam "Why Go" Pearl Jam "Black" Pearl Jam "Jeremy" Pearl Jam "Oceans" Pearl Jam "Porch" Pearl Jam "Garden" Pearl Jam "Deep" Pearl Jam "Release" Pearl Jam "Master/Slave" Devo "Through Being Cool" Faith No More "We Care A Lot" Fall Out Boy "I Don't Care"

As usual, all of the tracks are master recordings and they will retail for 200 Wii Points and will be available from the Rock Band 2 Store for anyone to enjoy. These are all some pretty interesting songs and will generate quite a lot of profit for Harmonix.
