Want Rock ‘n’ Roll Classics For Rock Band? You Got It
While many of our younger readers are likely scratching their heads at the mention of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Roy Orbison, his contribution to modern music is much the same as many artists of the past. In the 1960s he had an astounding top ten hits in four years, although he never had a #1 hit until his resurgence in the 1980s. He influenced many noted artists including Bruce Springsteen, Bono and K.D. Lang. You might not know the name or the face, but everyone knows the upbeat strumming of “Oh, Pretty Woman”.
A track pack featuring several of Mr. Orbison’s most popular songs will be available for Rock Band starting tomorrow. The whole pack costs $9.99 but individual songs are available for $1.99 each. “Oh, Pretty Woman,” “Ooby Dooby,” “In Dreams,” “Claudette,” “Mean Woman Blues” and “You Got It.” We’ll likely be seeing even more of Roy Orbison as the pack is titled “Roy Orbison Pack 01″.
