Most of The Who's greatest songs -- or, the band's greatest songs that work well in a rhythm videogame for four distinct players -- have already appeared as downloadable content for Rock Band. So then, do they deserve their own proper game a la The Beatles?
Lead singer Roger Daltrey, speaking to The Republican, says: "The game, yeah, yeah, they're going to be doing a Who one next year," in reference to The Beatles: Rock Band. "There is one planned. (The idea) is fabulous. Anything that gets non-musical people interested in music is wonderful."
There is always the possibility that Daltrey was referring to more downloadable songs, rather than a game devoted entirely to The Who. But then again, those two things aren't exactly easy to confuse with one another -- at least, I wouldn't think so.
Even though my ringtone is "Who Are You," I think the idea of a Queen-centric Rock Band game appeals to me much more. How do the rest of you feel about any of this?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I think one of the only "Rock Bands" i'd prefer over them would be "Rock Band: The Stones", though.
The cash cow goes MOOOOOO
And then we can look to getting this with bundled destructible instruments?
Failing that, I'd like to see a Tenacious D: Rock Band in the style of a Rock Opera. It could be what Pick of Destiny should have been.
That said, I'd be even less excited about a Queen Rock Band. As much as people may love Bohemian Rhapsody, for example, it simply wouldn't translate well into RB. At least with the current drums/bass/guitar/vocals setup.
At Least World Tour added the slider bar....Rock Band may be morepopular now but it's not doing anything new since the first one.
The Stones. So much. I decided a long time ago I wouldn't buy a band themed Rock Band or Guitar Hero until that came out.
