The Who: Rock Band Coming Next Year?
by Nick Breckon, Oct 27, 2009 9:10pm PDTThe plan for a new band-specific Rock Band game may have been spoiled by The Who lead singer Roger Daltrey, who stated in a new interview that the legendary group is getting the Harmonix treatment next year.
"They're going to be doing a Who one next year," said Daltrey to Masslive, in giving his thoughts on this year's The Beatles: Rock Band.
"There is one planned," he added. "[The idea] is fabulous."
While the default assumption is that the aged rocker was referring to DLC, The Who has already been featured as Rock Band DLC several times. Harmonix has said nothing, of course.

Love The Who. Seen them twice a few years ago.
If you held the rights to some of the most influential music modern civilization has put out and you only had a few more years to reap the benefits of said music wouldn't you milk it for every cent before any Tom Dick or Harry could just put your works on a CD and sell it?
I would. now at least they are using decent bands that deserve that kind of treatment,

I am certainly not against a track pack akin to the AC/DC one, possibly with custom avatars and venues for that group and additional content. The only two requirements I have is:
- It has to be all songs by that band or side groups directly from the band members. (a The Police: Rock Band can fairly have Sting's solo work in it, for example).
- It has to be 100% exportable to the rest of RB.
Then I will buy these in a heartbeat. The apparently failure of GH:Van Halen shows you can't just through a band's work against a game, polish it as much as possible, and come out successful.
