All downloadable songs are cross-compatible between Rock Band and Rock Band 2. The Wii version of Rock Band does not support downloadable content, but Rock Band 2 for Wii does, with DLC first made available in January 2009. 335 of the 334 released in 2008 are now available for Wii as part of Harmonix's effort to make the back catalogue of downloadable content available to Wii players. Over 300 songs were released for Rock Band in 2008, including 9 full albums. Screaming for Vengeance by Judas Priest was the first available Rock Band album, released on April 22. The self-titled debut album by The Cars and Doolittle by Pixies were released in the succeeding months. Though developer Harmonix had previously announced that the album Who's Next by The Who would be among the first downloadable albums for Rock Band, this never came to fruition. Instead, a 12-song compilation pack titled "The Best of the Who (Rock Band Edition)" was released on July 15.
