In the midst of all this exciting Rock Band 2 news, word slipped out in an AP story (via Xbox 360 Fanboy) that Harmonix will be releasing 12 tracks from The Who’s collection, including “My Generation” and “Who Are You.” The goal originally was to release The Who’s “Who’s Next” album, but they had to settle for this assortment after they had difficulty finding the masters of certain songs.
“Their music really comes alive when you’re playing it,” said Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos. “We were trying to release ‘Who’s Next’ in its entirety, but we were unable to locate all the masters. So in the face of that, Pete (Townshend) and Roger (Daltrey) helped curate this best-of soundtrack of everything we were able to find.”
These songs will be released on July 15 for $2 a piece of $20 for the whole package. Will you be buying it?
STOP CRUCIFYING DESCENT BANDS!
Hell yeah I’ll be buying it. And how is this crucifying bands? Guitar Hero (I and II that is) and Rock Band have shown the younger demographic what music used to be. There was no rap or hip hop or whatever the hell the preteens are listening to nowadays. I’m proud to say my ten year old cousin now knows about the Monkees, the Who, and the likes.
