12 tracks from The Who confimed for Rock Band

Over on the official The Who website it has being confirmed that Rock Band will be getting 12 brand new tracks to go along with Won’t Get Fooled Again, which was already available on the disc at release. The tracks will be made available July 15, so we don’t have too long to wait. Unlike many other bands (such as the Pixies and The Cars) the 12 tracks will not be made up of one album from the band, but instead a collection of their songs from various albums and live performances.

“We’re really pleased to have our songs featured in Rock Band,” says Roger 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,” says Who guitarist Pete 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.”

“The Who is consistently one of our most requested bands” says Paul DeGooyer, SVP Electronic Games and Music, MTV, “and it is great to be able to bring this unique compilation of their music to the Rock Band community.”

It’s being reported that The 12 songs were selected by Harmonix and MTV Games after consulting with Townshend and Daltrey, who helped curate the track list. Each track will be available for $1.99 per track (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) or $19.99 (1600 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) for the entire collection of tracks. The full list is as follows, with all tracks utilizing the original master recordings:
