After the long delay, next week we'll finally be seeing the release of Rush's classic album Moving Pictures on the Rock Band music store. The entire album will cost $10.99 (880 Microsoft Points), and individual tracks can be snagged for $1.99 (160 MS Points).
More info on the album can be found in our original announcement post, which went up eight years ago, before Harmonix and MTV Games delayed the release and made gamers cry.
Other individual tracks are also joining the release, including:
- Bad Religion - "Sorrow"
- The Cult - "She Sells Sanctuary"
- Hot Hot Heat - "Bandages"
- Kasabian - "Shoot the Runner"
- Sleater-Kinney - "You're No Rock N Roll Fun"
- Stone Roses - "Love Spreads"
All tracks are masters, and will cost you $1.99 (160 MS Points) a piece. Our resident Rock Band/Guitar Hero savant power-glove points out that Stone Roses' "Love Spreads" joins the list of tracks available in both Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour. The plot thickens.
OK, who's buying what this week?

well, I'll believe it when I'm failing YYZ on the drums
I have a crazy RUSH fan friend that is going to give me the money to buy this so he can play it. Plus Kasabian should be fun too.
You know, honestly I don't know why I bother owning other games. Rust in Peace this week and Moving Pictures next week? How am I supposed to find the time to play anything else?
The Bad Religion track might be fun to sing, but I don't know if I like it enough to make a purchase.
HOW ABOUT SOME NEW BANDS THAT WERE MORE POPULAR THAN THIS CRAP.
Nirvana, Beatles, Hendrix, Zepp, Elvis etc..
Power Rangers, Mega Man.
I tired of crappy DLC.
I'm also stoked about Sleater-Kinney; after hearing L7 and Silverspun Pickups, I was thinking RB2 needed some Sleater-Kinney action. Oh, and "She Sells Sanctuary"! Damn, what a week. Too bad I only have enough points on my account for two tracks...
Ill be getting all of Moving Pictures and Bandages (that song is so damned catchy)
Might get tom sawyer, limelight, and vital signs...though I'm kinda bitter about tom sawyer(non-cover) and limelight(non-cover) being dlc still..I am a strong proponent of them being available for free just out of principle.
