The Who: Rock Band set for 2010?

The Who lead singer Roger Daltry told Massachusetts paper The Republican that The Who will be receiving its own Rock Band. When an interviewer brought up the newly released The Beatles: Rock Band,

Daltry said, "The game, yeah, yeah, they're going to be doing a Who one next year. There is one planned."It makes some intelligence that The Who would be next in line for the Beatles action.

In adding to being one of the biggest classic rock acts out there, The Who has been tied to the Rock Band permit roughly since day one. When Harmonix initially announced full album downloads, The Who's Who's Next was the first one exposed, even if technological difficulty forced it to be scrapped in favor of a sampler of the band's hits. And in a promotional push for the sequel, the famous British rockers played a shock set at Harmonix and MTV Games' big E3 2008 Rock Band 2 party.

Then again, the report restricted no more details about the game, leaving some question as to whether Daltry spoke of a stand-alone title like The Beatles: Rock Band, a retail-exclusive offering like the AC/DC track pack, or simply another round of downloadable content.

A loyal Who Rock Band game would also raise questions as to which songs would be incorporated in the setlist. Versions of many of the band's biggest hits are already available in existing Rock Band games, including "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Pinball Wizard," "Baba O' Riley," "My Generation," "Who Are You," and "Behind Blue Eyes."

According to an article in the Sun newspaper,Roger blame Simon for a consistent rising crisis in the music industry and said that, "We really need to break away from The X Factor and American Idol - that Simon Cowell thing....I really think the music industry will beat this slump and come back stronger.

"Groups like The Who, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles wouldn't have made it past the audition stage, let alone be shown on TV. That's the joke of it. The music they make on the shows is absolute tripe. He's made a good industry out of it, but it's belittled the power of music. He wouldn't know what the 'X Factor' was if it bit him on the b******s."
