Buried in the recent announcement of
Rock Band 2 was a note about the July 15th release of a 12-song compilation from The Who. Originally they were to release the
Who's Next album but were unable to locate all the masters. Instead, they will put together a collection called
The Best of The Who Rock Band Edition. The pricing will be $20 for all 12 songs while individual songs will be $2. Of course, every track will be presented in their master recordings. Tracklist is as follows:
- "Amazing Journey"
- "Baba O'Riley"
- "Behind Blue Eyes"
- "Eminence Front"
- "Going Mobile"
- "Leaving Here"
- "My Generation" (Live at Leeds)
- "Real Good Looking Boy"
- "Sea & Sand"
- "Summertime Blues" (Live at Leeds)
- "Who Are You"
- "Young Man Blues" (Live at Leeds)

Well since I don't have Rock Band, I will go with this.
How many more hours until 2.40?

I'm so sad that My Generation from the live at leeds isn't going to be 15:24 the full length instead they doing a special edit of the song.
But this pack is amazing. Nirvana's Nevermind isn't far way now.
But Baba O'Riley is going to be amazing to play. Who are you also is going to be fun too. Behind Blue Eyes is also amazing.

OUT HERE IN THE FIELDS, I FIGHT FOR MY MEALS!

Nice! I'm definitely going to get Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, My Generation, and Who Are You. I remember seeing an interview a while ago with the people from Harmonix who made Rock band and they called The Who the ideal band for rock band because they have all the right instruments, and then I was surprised and disappointed to see there was only one song in the game by them.

I don't have Rock Band, BUT I FUCKING LOVE THE WHO!
I may have to buy it now...

"Won't Get Fooled Again," "Love Reign O'er Me," and maybe "Pinball Wizard," would've all been pretty sweet.

umm, they already have "won't get fooled again" in rock band

How dare you correct me!!!! :) I've only played the ps2 version, it's probably there, I just missed it, I guess. Congratulations though, you caught me.

This is great news! I love the Who and the fact that we are getting 12 songs from them is awesome! I probably won't get all the songs but this is great none the less. I do hope that they are still planning on releasing other Who songs such as Pinball Wizard and I'm a Boy.
