Addendum

Remember that the masters for Who’s Next had gone missing, so that album release was in danger? Well some news on that front has just arrived, and it sounds good.

No, they didn’t find the masters. Instead, they went to Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey to create a best-of pack for the game. The result is a 12 song set that will be released for Rock Band July 15th (2 weeks from now). These are the songs:

  • Amazing Journey
  • Baba O’Riley
  • Behind Blue Eyes
  • Eminence Front
  • Going Mobile
  • Leaving Here
  • My Generation (LIVE)
  • Real Good Looking Boy
  • Sea & Sand
  • Summertime Blues (LIVE)
  • Who Are You
  • Young Man Blues (LIVE)

Sure, there’s room to complain here. For example, how did “Baba O’Riley” survive and “Bargain” not? But overall, this seems like a pretty fun package of songs. At least we get all the CSI opening themes. This is probably what we’re getting instead of an album for July, and I feel it’s a pretty good solution to the Who’s Next problem.
