Rock Band Won't Get Fooled Again

If you look back on mine and Griffin's requests for "Guitar Hero III," you'll find a couple of notable requests for songs by the Who. I am a huge fan of the Who.

You can't go wrong! Pete Townshend's incredible guitar and rock opera quality, Roger Daltrey's wailing vocals and rodeo microphone skills, John Entwistle's killer bass solos, and Keith Moon's...well...everything that Keith Moon ever did.

And that's why my heart melted into a million little nerdy pieces when I heard that "Rock Band" is offering downloadable content with the system, including new songs to play as well as full albums. The first announcement?


YES! Who's Next is one of the greatest albums of all time. With classics like "Baba O'Riley," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Bargain," "Behind Blue Eyes," and "Going Mobile." It is also home to a bunch of incredible and underrated songs, like "The Song is Over" and "Gettin' In Tune." I love this album, I love this band, and finally, I'm definitely picking up "Rock Band." I believe you should too.
