We've got more than a feeling that next week's
Rock Band DLC is bringing a six-pack of songs by Boston. All the tracks hail from the band's self-titled debut album which has sold over 17 million copies. Not bad for a bunch of guys from the small Minnesota town of Lake Wobegon -- no, they're actually from Boston.
Boston pack (800 MS points / $9.99)
- Hitch a Ride (160 MS points/ $2)
- More Than a Feeling (160 MS points/ $2)
- Peace of Mind (160 MS Points / $2)
- Rock & Roll Band (160 MS Points / $2)
- Smokin' (160 MS Points / $2)
- Something About You (160 MS Points / $2)
Videos for this week's
Rock Band DLC can be found after the break and this may be our last week doing them as audio previews are now available through the
Rock Band music store patch
available now. The Boston songs will be available next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively.

Excellent. I've been hoping for More Than a Feeling.
Tiptup300 @ Mar 21st 2008 7:50PM
I wonder if Rock Band would organize albums of artists if they release entire ones. I like album art so please Harmonix, display it.
Also if you really want to show Harmonix what you want you should goto http://unspun.amazon.com/Most-Wanted-Artists-to-Be-DLC-in-Rock-Band/list/show/14562 and vote on your favorite bands. This is so we can show Harmonix exactly what we want.

Huh...cool.
Eric @ Mar 21st 2008 3:34PM
FUCK YES!!!!
Chase @ Mar 21st 2008 9:09PM
I'll have what he's having! Woo!
Shagittarius @ Mar 21st 2008 3:35PM
Thanks, Harmonix...Even though I really don't think that much of Boston its infinately better than the crap available for the last 2 weeks.
CHEER!
Fernando Rocker @ Mar 21st 2008 3:36PM
Finally good DLC music =p
Too bad I will not start a discussion in this thread... I like Boston...
Farseer (GDI) @ Mar 21st 2008 4:23PM
lol, there's been a lot of good RB DLC so far... but that's neither here nor there.
I'll take up the torch with you Fernando - I too dig Boston and will pick up this whole pack on Tuesday.
FrankTheCrank @ Mar 21st 2008 3:40PM
This sort of shit makes me want to pick up RB for my PS3. But I don't want to pay $150+.
If I could only find a guitar and the game...
eBay seems to have single guitars, but $99 is a little steep. At that rate I might as well buy the whole setup.
Bearxor @ Mar 21st 2008 3:50PM
Standalone guitars will be available April 1st. Though for the price of the game + guitar (120), you may as well pick up the whole thing and get the drums, that's half the game you'd be missing out on if you didn't get the drums.
deaftly (Brawl - 1075-0467-4222) @ Mar 21st 2008 3:51PM
Best $150 you'll ever spend.
Eric @ Mar 21st 2008 4:04PM
Just bite the bullet man. It's so worth the money.
copa @ Mar 21st 2008 4:05PM
How much did you pay for your PS3, Mr. Penny-Pincher?
baby sea tuna @ Mar 21st 2008 4:19PM
Agreed. The full package of this game is well worth the price of admission.
ill trooper @ Mar 21st 2008 5:30PM
Stop hurting yourself! If you are even remotely interested in the concept of 'Rock Band,' you'll probably love it. Buy it immediately. The new online store is great too.
I bought it for the PS3 and I think it's the better version as long as you don't care to play online - you have wireless guitars, and you avoid the lame 360 'multiplayer log-in' menus that add another level of confusion to the already poorly-handled Rock Band player/instrument 'join' screen.
And yes, I'm such a spaz that I have both the 360 and PS3 versions, so I can qualify that opinion.
DCBlack @ Mar 21st 2008 6:03PM
Nyko Frontman is coming out this month I believe for PS3. $70 and compatible with both GHIII and RB.
Tiptup300 @ Mar 21st 2008 7:19PM
Dude, I bought it and broke last night. It's so good, I'm buying it again with my next paycheck.
Eric @ Mar 21st 2008 3:41PM
More then a feeling was my fav song to play on GH and now i can play on all the parts hell yes!! It's going to by like that scrubs episode only way dorkier!
vidGuy @ Mar 21st 2008 3:42PM
Hmm, can I afford the whole pack? Looks great.
Steve @ Mar 21st 2008 3:47PM
I'm goin' out to get me a giant Afro wig right now so that I too can look like Boston's drummer.
McWeen @ Mar 21st 2008 3:49PM
A Prairie Home Companion reference? Fantastic.
Farseer (GDI) @ Mar 21st 2008 4:21PM
I was wondering if anyone else caught that... :)
Bucket @ Mar 24th 2008 11:24AM
My whole family listens to different kinds of music, but we ALWAYS listen to that whenever it comes on. That guy looks nothing like his voice, by the way.
Eric @ Mar 21st 2008 3:49PM
Is the Boston spaceship landing at the fortress of solitude? Private concert for the man of steel sweet!
Fernando Rocker @ Mar 21st 2008 3:50PM
Really, honestly... the world needs more mullets and long hairs.
I feel weird walking in the street with my Steve Perry like mullet hair and mi 80's pants... =(
Fernando Rocker @ Mar 21st 2008 3:51PM
*80's jeans...
ChooChooCharlie (Brawl: 1504-5357-9285) @ Mar 21st 2008 4:25PM
lol at that mental image.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Mar 22nd 2008 2:31AM
Vicious Mullet as always Fernando. Hows bout we joystiqers do a little Boston rock band this week in band?
Youthinized @ Mar 21st 2008 3:54PM
Best Pack EVAR!!
Srsly, people who won't buy a single song from this pack are probably ignorant of great music.
Thanks HMX! Take my money anytime!
Kizzle @ Mar 21st 2008 4:04PM
"Srsly, people who won't buy a single song from this pack are probably ignorant of great music."
Why do cocksuckers like you throw out comments like this? I don't even care what the content is, there's always some asshole saying "HA IF U DON'T BUY DIS U LIEK SHITTY MUSIC." Can you 'tards not accept the fact that not everyone likes the same thing?
Belfour20 @ Mar 21st 2008 4:10PM
With Foreplay/Longtime already in the game, we almost have the full self-titled album now. The only song missing is "Let Me Take You Home Tonight".
Definitely picking this pack up :D
FaintDeftone @ Mar 21st 2008 4:07PM
Best news I've heard all day. I LOVE Boston!
injate @ Mar 21st 2008 4:14PM
this is almost an album! sick.
Ninegauger @ Mar 21st 2008 4:14PM
Boston!
I'm curious why they didn't just add the the last song from this album and have this be their first album release. "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" isn't my favorite song but for completeness' sake.
Rock Band will literally be 1 song short of a complete album by Tuesday.
Vexorg @ Mar 21st 2008 4:15PM
I'll definitely pick up at least a couple of these, but it would be nice if we could get Don't Look Back, Amanda and Cool the Engines as well.
Youthinized @ Mar 21st 2008 4:27PM
Because I'm an asshole and people will have to deal with it?
If Carl says Boston is the best band ever. Then its true.
Brian @ Mar 21st 2008 4:49PM
May I please request the videos remain. Gives me something to chew on while still at work. Plus, the other members of our band don't have the game to check them out.
Neebs @ Mar 21st 2008 4:58PM
WIN
Neebs @ Mar 21st 2008 4:59PM
By the way, that's the album cover to Don't Look Back.
MasterInsan0 @ Mar 21st 2008 4:59PM
More Than A Feeling was one of my favorite songs on Guitar Hero, so playing it with drums and vocals too is gonna be pretty friggin' awesome.
Tone @ Mar 21st 2008 5:32PM
FTW baby! Cannot wait!
343 Guilty Fart @ Mar 21st 2008 5:42PM
Still needs Pink Floyd!!
ill trooper @ Mar 21st 2008 5:44PM
Totally out of control. Amazing. These are certified classics from Boston - I haven't been watching the rumors about Rock Band lately and this hits me like a big ol' box of tea thrown towards the harbor. I had no idea.
The cold, hard reality that I must now face is that it's more likely that the UFO from the cover is going to come carry me away than it is likely I'm going to be able to actually SING these Boston songs. It was like my pet died the first time I tried to sing 'Long Time' - it was so depressing realizing how shitty I sounded, after wanting to try that song for weeks before we unlocked it. I'm more on that Thom Yorke vibe, I can't belt it out like that dude from Boston.
Still, I am adding funds to my wallet, and I will take the punishment.
MarkHawk @ Mar 21st 2008 6:32PM
I love the video previews for when I am at work and school. Please don't stop doing it...
Joseph @ Mar 21st 2008 9:27PM
Keep the weekly Rock Band updates alive, including videos. Some of us are at work throughout the day, and get a sliver of excitement from knowing what lay ahead.
J.Goodwin @ Mar 21st 2008 9:30PM
/me pours one out for Brad Delp.
We miss you Brad.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Mar 22nd 2008 2:29AM
Holy shit this is the best yet. More than a feeling was my favorite song to go crazy with the whammy bar on gh 1. I am going to buy this pack for sure. Thank you Harmonix! Speaking of Boston...hows a bout some Pixies. I am also hoping for The Loafs Bat Out of Hell and the boss' Candys Room.
VGF @ Mar 22nd 2008 8:59PM
This finally gives me an excuse to buy Drums when I find some cheap ones.
KEFIOX @ Mar 22nd 2008 11:06AM
Two things.
1) Please don't remove the videos. I understand that the new Rock Band store has song previews but that would be a whole week away from when you post these videos. I normally listen to each of the songs (your videos) that whole week to see if I like it or not. I probably couldn't decide if I wanted a song or not jsut by listening to a 30 second preview. Sure their are other ways to listen to the songs if you don't post the videos but this is just so much easier... for me at least.
2) I will have to agree. Why not just make this the first album dlc if they will have 7/8 songs in the game next week. It will bother me to no end knowing that only one song from the album isn't in the game. No matter how much I like the song. Seeing as how my opinion doesn't matter to HMX I can only hope that "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" will eventually make it into the game.
jstevenson @ Mar 22nd 2008 12:24PM
HOLY HELL YES.... BOSTON FTMFW
