Want Pink Floyd in Rock Band?
It looks like they may be considering jumping on board the rhythm gaming boat. From the BBC:
Mason said that Pink Floyd has not ruled out working on a Rock Band or Guitar Hero-style game in the future.
“I think we’d consider it,” he told the BBC. “I think everyone’s looking at new ways of selling the music because the business of selling records has almost disappeared. I’m of the old guard who are really sad about that, because I always liked the concept of the album – rather than just cherry-picking tracks – and also the business of the art work that went with it.”
He added that any new material from Pink Floyd was “very unlikely”.
“We’re all still interested in the catalogue and trying to make the most of it, re-mastering when necessary, and looking at other things that we could do with it,” Mason added.
“I think we’re all still very proud of it – we do talk to each other occasionally.”
What say you? Any interest in bringing Pink Floyd to Rock Band? If we’re lucky, we can freak out while playing Rock Band over The Wizard of Oz!

YES! Good god yes!
I would buy that SO fast. You think the Beatles game had great visuals? Can you even imagine what a Pink Floyd Rock Band game would look like?!
God. Then all they’d need to get is Led Zeppelin (much harder, I know) and I’d never have to leave my house ever again.
No interest in Floyd, as DLC or full-game or in RB3. Not a fan.
IMO, the only bands that actually even deserve a band game are The Beatles, Floyd, and maybe Led Zeppelin and the Who. Not something like Van Halen.
Huge Floyd fan. Would buy it for sure!
Holy crap! If thry come then we need Another brick in the wall and time
I would TOTALLY buy Dark Side of the Moon as a full album instead of “cherry-picking” tracks!
I’d love to see a totally overcharted version of One of These Days, with rhythm bass charted to guitar (until actual guitar comes in) – plus some outrageously long version of SOYCD, of course. But playing portions of a concept album more or less at random, ehhh… Harmonix could work on better streaming in concert mode, to allow better integration of different songs into one, giant, sequencial song. This would also allow songs to be split, with segments played individually or joined seamlessly (no counting off between segments). Combined with dreamscapes to shame Beatles, methinks it would be the start of a mostly brand-new Rock Band engine.
O my lord, i would just die if they put Pink Floyd in Rock band…i would cry.
I know the songs i would love to have…but its pink floyd you cant go wrong…well except for that one song that i bet will be there…ehh…im stoked
I would play that game forever and a day. I would probably have to stop eating so I wouldn’t miss a second of it.
We need PINK FLOYD in RB!!!!!!!
