The Best of The Who Rock Band set list revealed

by Ross Miller { Jul 1st 2008 at 3:30AM }

We didn't have to wait long to find out what tracks would be replacing Who's Next album DLC in Rock Band. The Who Official Band Website has published a press release revealing the 12 song "Best of" collection, featuring 3 songs from Who's Next (Baba O'Riley, Going Mobile and Behind Blue Eyes). All the tracks are presented in their master recordings.

The Best of The Who Rock Band Edition (1600 MS points / $20) -- All songs are also sold individually (160 MS Points / $2)

"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)

Videos of the songs can be found after the break. The Best of The Who is expected the week of July 15.

(Note: We couldn't for the life of us find the original version, so here's a Pearl Jam cover.)

This and The Seeker needed to be in there.

It's a great list, but somehow dissapointing because of that fact.

EMaster @ Jul 1st 2008 4:34AM

Same here.... Fuck!!!

jsn @ Jul 1st 2008 7:12AM

expect pinball wizard to be one of the on disc tracks for RB2.

Kevin Denehy @ Jul 1st 2008 10:22AM

My point exactly. It better be RB2 or there will be blood (not really).

SteveM @ Jul 1st 2008 4:09AM

Great track pack, and what do you want to bet that Pinball Wizard turns up on Rock Band 2? But the one that's got me going Argh is "My Generation (LIVE)". The other two live tracks are likely to be off Live At Leeds and if this version of My Generation is as well... and if it doesn't get cut down... it's 15 MINUTES long!

Squall @ Jul 1st 2008 4:16AM

It says it's a special edited version.
:(

klepto88 @ Jul 1st 2008 5:28AM

It's more likely from a recent (this decade) tour, with clearer recordings.

Sam Earl @ Jul 1st 2008 5:46AM

15 minutes! My god, when you said that my reaction was...HELL YEAH!

We obviously have two completely different mind sets. =P

MarkHawk @ Jul 1st 2008 4:34AM

No Pinball Wizard... but ... but I thought this was a Best of the Who Album...

Sam Earl @ Jul 1st 2008 5:48AM

You guys are right. The fact that Pinball Wizard is missing is a blow. Other than that though, this list is pretty good and covers a good majority of the basics.

Shame about the live tracks. Must have been a problem with the master tracks there too, I would think.

AwesomeTown @ Jul 1st 2008 7:19AM

Good list. Don't think I'd spend all $20 on it, but I'll get a few tracks. Eminence Front and Baba O'Riley at least. Probably Sea and Sand too, but I really wish they would get The Punk and the Godfather on there.

Rocket9.net @ Jul 1st 2008 7:54AM

Okay list... Where's Pinball Wizard???? Was crazy excited seeing the title of the entry, much less so without it. Particularily since Pinball Wizard was on the rather accurate "leak" list from months ago.

Egon Pax @ Jul 1st 2008 9:58AM

Yeah Pinball Wizard just HAS to be on the RB2 disc or something. RIGHT?!!

Seriously though, definitely going to have to download a few of these songs... probably not the whole album though.

Daniel @ Jul 1st 2008 10:46AM

Love Ain't for Keeping?

Zoot Suit Jedi @ Jul 1st 2008 11:12AM

Seems as though "Join Together in the Band" would have been appropriate.

But I am still siked!

Kizzle @ Jul 1st 2008 12:59PM

We have officially entered the era where they release shitty DLC on purpose and hold all the good stuff back for the next disc.

Really annoying they insist on shoving a sequel out the door so fast. DLC stopped being good back in March.

Rip Tatermen @ Jul 1st 2008 1:11PM

Oh my god, Eminence Front? Seriously? That is the most insanely boring song EVER. The guitar riff has literally two notes, because apparently that is all Daltrey can manage. WTF is the guitar part gonna look like in the game?

Heh @ Jul 1st 2008 1:18PM

Pinball Wizard by The Who for RB2 or I rage in front of Har's office.

Also, they need to get some Dream Theater on RB2. That would truly be epic.

aww... i want The Seeker....

time @ Jul 1st 2008 7:03PM

Amazing Journey better have sparks at the end or that'll be a major disappointment for me.

I'm glad they used the live tracks, and I really hope they're from Live at Leeds. That s some quality stuff there, and I think they're much better than the studio versions.

daddy dash @ Jul 1st 2008 8:49PM

What no Quadrophenia.....I'm sensing some sort of bias against schezophrenics.....no you're not you always say that...

totz @ Jul 18th 2008 12:08AM

Songs that I wish had been included that aren't:
Bargain, Let's See Action, Slip Kid, The Punk Meets the Godfather, Love Reign O'er Me, The Real Me, Naked Eye, Pure and Easy, Long Live Rock, I'm Free, Sparks (leading out of "Amazing Journey"), Another Tricky Day, My Wife, The Song is Over, Boris the Spider, Quadrophenia, Sister Disco, Pictures of Lily, The Seeker, Happy Jack, and 5.15
I mean, with Pinball Wizard on RB2, Won't Get Fooled Again on the original, and the rest on this compilation, it would be a truly awesome set of music. I'd also prefer the original "My Generation" over the Live at Leeds version EASILY, though a more recent version medlied (medleyed?) with "Cry if You Want" wouldn't be bad.
