Apparently there's going to be a Billy Joel pack as well. another dozen songs to add to my library.
Quote:
One more new project has Joel venturing into virtual competition. A dozen of his hits will be downloadable for the video game Rock Band 3, out Tuesday. "I've never allowed my music to be used in a game before," but an Entertainment Weekly review of NBC's The Office changed his mind.
Alluding to an episode in which characters mention a Rock Band featuring Billy Joel, "the critic wrote something like, 'God forbid that ever should happen.' So I called my people and said, 'Get me (on) that Rock Band game.' Then I wrote the critic, saying that every time I get a check, I'll give him a little nod."
Nov. 9 will bring another reminder of Joel's selling power with the release of The Hits, a 19-track compilation acknowledging next year's 40th anniversary of his debut solo album, Cold Spring Harbor. Included is Only the Good Die Young, recently covered on Fox's Glee.
