Music games are becoming very important for quite a lot of players largely because these titles offer a big amount of entertainment and because, through their most recent iterations, users can play along with friends or family their favorite songs from all time.

Rock Band is one title that has registered the biggest boom in popularity in recent years, with the weekly DLC offerings for both the first and the second game becoming very lucrative, for Harmonix, the company behind the game, and the artists who chose to bring their tracks to their fans.

We reported a few days ago that players would get a chance to download the Texas Flood album of legendary artist Stevie Ray Vaughn for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the following days, but now it seems that Harmonix has gone that extra mile and will offer the new songs, plus the ones from its back catalog, for owners of the Nintendo Wii version of Rock Band 2.

That's right, besides the tracks played by Stevie Ray Vaughn and his Double Trouble band, people will also get a chance to play a No Doubt track plus three songs from Jimmy Eat World, all of them appearing on the Rock Band 2 music store for the Wii at the low price of just 200 Wii Points or 2 dollars per track.

Here's the complete list of new songs that are now available for the Wii:

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Love Struck Baby" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Pride and Joy" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Texas Floos" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Tell Me" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Rude Moos" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Testify" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Mary Had a Little Lamb" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Dirty Pool" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "I'm Cryin" Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - "Lenny" No Doubt - "New" Jimmy Eat World - "Futures" Jimmy Eat World - "Lucky Denver Mins" Jimmy Eat World - "Sweetness"

So there you have it, Wii rockers, slowly but surely Harmonix will deliver the entire DLC song collection that is already available for the bigger consoles, along with all the new content that will appear.
