The Week in Rock Band DLC: Want a Roy Orbison six song track pack? You got it photo
     Rock Band

We already knew it was coming, thanks to a CMT early announcement, but today Harmonix has confirmed next week's release of Roy Orbison tracks for Rock Band. 

Six Orbison classics will be made available: "Claudette," "In Dreams," "Mean Woman Blues," "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Ooby Dooby," and "You Got It." The six tracks can be grabbed as a pack for $9.99 (800 MS Points), or each song can be picked up individually for $1.99 (160 MS Points a piece). 

This is good news, and most of the tracks you guys mentioned made the cut. Picking up all six tracks myself because well ... it's Roy Orbison and I'm not. So this is the closest I'm going to get. How about you guys? What tracks will you be grabbing?

Maybe I'm just completely ignorant of anything before the 70s, but who exactly is this guy? I think I recognize a couple titles, but not much.

@Banana Kid and anybody else thinking, "Who?":

Roy Orbison was an early rock'n'roll and rockabilly pioneer. Check out a greatest hits CD here:

I can appreciate that they are trying to branch out and that's great, and I know who Roy is, but this is definitely not for me.

YES. YES.

I will get a disgusting amount of pleasure pretending that I'm Dennis Hopper menacingly whispering the lyrics to Kyle McLaughlin. "In dreams, you're mine. ALL the time..."

Hopefully this will bring us closer to Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry DLC.
