And CMT would know, with it being an MTV-owned station and all. While promoting the episode of the Top 20 Countdown set for Dec. 26, the network let slip that a pack of Roy Orbison tunes would be headed to Rock Band 2. We're sure you've already set your TiVos for CMT's Top 20 Countdown, but now you can set them harder.
So, which tunes? We've got out fingers crossed for "I Drove All Night", but we know that's probably a longshot. Here's hoping there are some more details coming on the 26th.

I predict 'Only The Lonely', 'Pretty Woman' and... something else. But that's the only two songs I know.

What about that Ring of Fire song? I don't know or like his songs, but that one and Pretty Woman I've heard all too often.
Not dissing on Roy, he's just not my style. I wish Harmonix would give us some more "rocking" Rock Band songs, like Led Zep, Queen, etc. This is the second Country pack and there's a bunch of Southern stuff too... where are the Harmonix guys from? Alabama? Texas?

Ring of Fire is Johnny Cash. Also Roy Orbison is not really country he is early Rock and Roll. Honestly go find his stuff on youtube and give it a listen the man is awesome.

Oh, I see it now. I guess it's one of those pictures where it looks like a viking and then you look at it differently and suddenly you see a cat.

Momma said I couldn't get a tattoo of Roy Orbison on my ass, but what mamma don't know, can't hurt her.

Wow. I didn't see this one coming, but now that I know it's coming, I want it badly. That's why Rock Band beats Guitar Hero every time.

I hope they put In Dreams on there. I love the drum track on this tune, not to mention everything else.

Someone (quite reputable) on ScoreHero mentioned that they had recorded the Roy Orbison special on VH1, and the banner ad mentioning this named "In Dreams" and "Oh, Pretty Woman" as two of six songs in the pack.

They'd better include "Crying." That'd make for some damned tough vocals...
