Remember when you were excited at the prospect of The Who’s “Who’s Next” album joining the ranks of Rock Band’s DLC roster?  Remember when we reported that the tracks were MIA, and the album was nixed?  Well, there may still be some hope.

According to an article published by the Associated Press, mostly concerned with the announcement of Rock Band 2, there’s a little blurb about 2/3 down that is as follows:

MTV Games and Harmonix are releasing 12 “Rock Band” songs on July 15 from The Who — ranging from “My Generation” to “Who Are You” — that all utilize the band’s master recordings. The tracks will be available for $1.99 individually or $19.99 together. The special release coincides with the upcoming “VH1 Rock Honors” ceremony commemorating The Who.

“Their music really comes alive when you’re playing it,” said Rigopulos. “We were trying to release ‘Who’s Next’ in its entirety, but we were unable to locate all the masters. So in the face of that, Pete (Townshend) and Roger (Daltrey) helped curate this best-of soundtrack of everything we were able to find.”

If that’s not confirmation, outside of a direct press release from Harmonix, I don’t know what is.  Stay tuned for updates as they become available….
