TV Games and Harmonix are bringing The Best of The Who to Rock Band with the approaching release of twelve classic Who songs. Each song was selected by Harmonix and MTV Games in consultation with Who members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. Both expressed excitement about the endeavor.

“We’re really pleased to have our songs featured in Rock Band,” said Daltrey, lead singer of The Who. “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.”

“I’m a fan of Rock Band,” said Who guitarist Townshend. “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.”

“We are very excited to be working so closely with Roger and Pete on this release for Rock Band,” said Paul DeGooyer, SVP Electronic Games and Music, MTV. “The Who is consistently one of our most requested bands, and it is great to be able to bring this exclusive compilation of their music to the Rock Band community.”

The Best of The Who: Rock Band Edition will include three songs from the Live at Leeds album, and will feature a special edit of My Generation made specifically for Rock Band. All tracks are original and master recordings, as one would expect. Each track will be available for $1.99/160 Microsoft points via the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace, or for $19.99/1600 Microsoft points for the entire collection.
