Rock Band 3 is celebrating Thanksgiving with one of rock’s most inspiring artists.  John Lennon’s seminal album Imagine will be available for download for the Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3, and Wii systems starting November 23rd.  “The songs on John Lennon’s Imagine run the gamut from beautiful piano driven ballads like Jealous Guy to all out rockers like Gimme Some Truth,” said Paul DeGooyer, senior VP of electronic games, music and programming for MTV Networks.  “It’s an incredible music statement, and a real workout on keyboard, guitar and vocals in Rock Band 3. We’re very excited to be able to bring this masterpiece to Rock Band fans.” Released in 1971, Imagine is ranked #76 in Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The tracks available for individual download ($.99 per song), which are all original master recordings, include Crippled Inside, Jealous Guy, It’s So Hard, I Don’t Wanna Be A Soldier Mama, Gimme Some Truth, Oh My Love, How Do You Sleep? (which can also be played with a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass), How, and Oh! Yoko!.  Downloading the entire Imagine album will cost $14.99 (1,200 Microsoft Points, 1,500 Wii Points).  As for me, I’ll be downloading How Do You Sleep?, a soulful tune featuring George Harrison on slide guitar which Lennon penned about his relationship with Paul McCartney.
