12 ROCK BAND GAMEPLAY TRACKS BY THE WHO

The Rock Band online music store recently surpassed 15 million paid downloads since the game’s launch in late November 2007.

Isn't that is something! With only 200 titles for dowload the Rock Band store outperforms regular music download stores with ease. The music industry might be complaining but the gaming industry seems doing just fine when it comes to making money from music! To boost Rockband sales new titles are added frequenty. Soon 12 songs of The Who will be added with the release of “The Best of The Who: Rock Band Edition.”

The Who guitarist Pete Townshend is a fan of Rockband himself. “I play the game with my son and girlfriend and love the way it brings different generations together through music. I like the idea that people of all ages will be having fun playing our songs.”

The 12 songs were selected by Harmonix and MTV Games in consultation with Townshend and Daltrey. The tracks represent the meaty, beaty, big and bouncy best of The Who, including classics such as “Amazing Journey,” “Baba O'Riley” and “Sea & Sand,” three songs from the classic Live At Leeds album (including a special Rock Band edit of “My Generation”) and more.

Roger Daltrey, lead singer of The Who is pleased to have their songs featured in Rock Band. “It allows our established fan base to interact with our music in a way that’s fresh and exciting, while also exposing our songs to new audiences.”
