Sure, there are some Clash songs available for Rock Band 3, but how about the entirety of the band's most famous (and arguably best) album, London Calling? Coming February 1, you can get just that.

As per usual, individual tracks are available for 160 MS Points/200 Wii Points/$1.99, and the entire album can be purchased (at a hefty discount) for 1600 MS Points/2000 Wii Points/$19.99.
Rock Band 2 wastin' away again in DLC-taville
In one of the most weirdly eclectic DLC updates imaginable, Harmonix has added six new Rock Band 2 tracks to the in-game music store, from four artists: Nine Inch Nails, The Clash, The Ramones, and ... Jimmy Buffett. The full track listing is available after the break, with YouTube links for each.All of these songs are already available on the other consoles' download services, having been released in three pairs throughout late 2007 and 2008. It's basically just a random assortment of stuff from the store. But if you just have Rock Band 2 on the Wii, it's New To You! And we would never complain about an opportunity to listen to "March of the Pigs."

Rock Band Weekly: The Clash, The Police and The Ramones
The Rock Band servers are starting to take a pounding every Monday morning as the faithful desperately clamor to find out this week's DLC.

We'll keep on poking Harmonix with a drumstick and try to get some actual in-game previews as soon as possible. Trust us, we're working on it.[Thanks to all who sent this in]
Rock Band Weekly: You're such a punk
Take a trip back to CBGB and get your anti-authoritarian ideologies polished and scrubbed for this week's Rock Band downloadable content. Some of the masters of punk (rebels of punk?) are now available for your musical pleasure. The Ramones, The Clash and the Buzzcocks all crash the party on the the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network just like they were expected to. Only one more week before we enter the void and become pretty much unaware of what songs Harmonix will drop each week for the DLC. Although, if there's a piece of info we missed, be sure to let us know.Punk Pack - $5.50: Rockaway Beach -- The Ramones ($2) I Fought the Law -- The Clash ($2) Ever Fallen In Love -- Buzzcocks ($2 *Cover*) After the break we have videos of all the songs above for those not up on their punk. There's The Ramones at the aforementioned CBGBs, The Clash in concert, and the Buzzcocks on what we're guessing is BBC's Top of the Pops (or something similar). No sense in buying music sound unheard.
