Hands down the weakest soundtrack in the series. (the classic rock station was still mostly good though)
>>121531126The Journey was prety kinoand riding in the tug with Radio Vladiviostok was cool as well
Channel x > soulwax > rebel radio > the rest
>>121531126san juan sounds was goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-3su2ov8Vg
>>121531126not music
>>121531126Vice City was just too kino, even if the other entries had good radio stations they just wouldn't be able to top Vice City
best gta theme though
>>121531172>He isn't Massive B pilledBombaclot!
>Radio X in San AndreasCutting Edge Alternative Rock>Radio X in GTAV40 year old Punk RockWhat went so wrong??
>>121531845Historically accurate, given what Clear Channel did to radio in the 2000s.
>>121531875>Real life went wrongI hate to see it. Though it does tell me that if we ever got a game based in fake DC, we'd get Dag Nasty and Rites of Spring in the game
2008 is the worst year for music
>>121531126Yep. Episodes from Liberty City rectified some of it though
>>121531875What they do to radio or whatever?
>>121531126LCS had pretty much nothing in the way of a soundtrack
>>121534675LCS had a great soundtrack
>>121531741Nothing is worse than reggae and ska
>>121535140I don't think that's true. I listened to Power Pop ya know
>>121535359It's objective fact
>>121531300Really can't be overstated how godly VC's radios are like holy shit
>>121531126>gta ivusually at least one good song playing and if not just put The Journey on>gta vthe soundtrack just sounds like a bunch of really shit spotify playlists
>>121531126To be fair the first couple of games didn't even have licensed music they just had to write their own stuffhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Lvm1tv1mE
>>121534604Clear Channel (called IHeartMedia now) is the largest owner of radio stations in America. After 9/11 they started cracking down on songs that could be played on the radio or not. They whipped up this long list of songs that they encouraged stations not to play thinking they would be too inappropriate to broadcast after the attacks. It wasn’t an official banlist, more like a polite suggestion to not play certain tracks but a lot of stations took it as gospel and removed a bunch of songs from their playlists. Basically any song that mentioned planes, death, fire, explosions, violence of any kind or the afterlife were included. But also any songs that mentioned New York, the Middle East or falling in general were included. Some of them didn’t even make any sense as to why they were on there. Sample of some songs on the list >Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters>Rocket Man - Elton John>Burning Down the House - Talking Heads>Literally every song by Rage Against the Machine>Walk Like an Egyptian - The Bangles>On Broadway - The Drifters>Imagine - John Lennon>I’m Going Down - Bruce Springsteen>Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm (not the MJ original for some reason)
>>121531126I remember the music being bad in the game and only had the radio on to listen to integrity 2.0
>>121531126Dam. You retarded. This game had a few of the best radio stations of all time like the disco, funk and the radio station hosted by the robot. The Spanish regaton station was kino. Worst station was the hipster one. The best station of all time was the conservative talk radio channel. That would make liberals heads explode these days it's so offensive.
>>121531126
>>121537347>The best station of all time was the conservative talk radio channelYeah that was Jason Sudeikis voicing the Limbaugh-esque Host
>>121531126I discovered the Greenskeepers from it so I'll always appreciate that.
>>121531845Vinewood Blvd would've been better if it was less reliant on Burger Records core
>>121531126LIBERTY CITY HADRCORELIBERTY CITY HARDCORE
STILL the best GTA game.STILL the best soundtrack across the board throughout the franchise. >b-b-but GTA 4 perfected everything! Fuck off. Vice City perfected everything, in spades.
GTAIII K-JAH is the goat.
GTAV has Julian so it's better
>>121536466and that's to say nothing of el rushtotheoxy'sbo>>121537347>.That would make liberals heads explode these days it's so offensive.le epiq
>gta iv had the weakest soundtrack in the seriesliterally get fucked, i'm going to assume you're young and have no appreciation for things that are actually good
>>121540547FUCK OFF NIGGER KILL YOURSELF, GTA SAN ANDREAS MOGS>Mother - Danzig>Hold the line - Toto>White wedding - Billy talent>Horse with no name - America I could keep going faggot
>>121536232This. Smashing Pumpkins at sunset in Alderney was very comfy.
>>121531126>I Wanna Be Your Dog instead of Search and Destroy>Highway Star instead of Pictures of Home>Run to the Hills instead of 2 Minutes to Midnight>Five to One instead of Roadhouse Blues or The Changelingruined, VC mogs
>>121535126Ok. What's the best station on there?
>>121543787MSX 98 and Rise FM are great. Got me into atmospheric DnB and House. Lips 106 and Head Radio with Rockstars in-house music writers are also very good, just like it was in GTA 3.
>>121531126Nah it’s pretty great. The worst is GTA V
>>121543275Get fucked, faggot.
>YOU MAKE ME WANNA CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>121543275>racism outside of /b/
>>121535140>>121535528You should objectively kill yourself
>go on Party Mode>set traffic and pedestrians to low>dont invite anybody else>drive around Algonquin listening to Ray Lynch at sunriseno other game can compare
>>121531126gta 5 was much worseat least gta 4 was consistent with the directiongta 5 had like four hip-hop stations, -teen number of house/techno, and not enough latin or alt rock
>>121531300they missed the opportunity to include maniacother than that, it's golden
>>121536232even lsrr doesn't sound like a rock stationmay as well just call it adult contemporary
>>121531126Dude, it's good. It has the most variety compared to other games. Best stations were>TBOGT Vladivostok The best dance station in the series. IV Vladivostok kinda blows, outside of Kino Gruppa Krovi which is the song that introduced me to the band that I highly enjoy now>The Journey and Self Actualization FMBlew my mind when I was a kid, introduced me to Aphex Twin, Autechre and other electronic music>two good jazz stations>the /pol/ /x/ radio>a whole ass Bob Marley station>TLAD LCHCthe only death metal station in the series with some decent songs>Beat 102Pretty good in standard GTA IVHonestly, GTA V's radio sucks the most to me. It's boring.
>>121549818yeah and then you get a bunch of house stations and the same pop station for 11 years with the same 5 different bits of cara delevingne commentary the gta v soundtrack is a great example of quantity < quality
>>121551605jazz nation was so good. complete A-list collection that really fit the setting
>>121551605>>121553062the fact that you unlocked st thomas as a ringtone if you gave money to a certain number of buskers was the cherry on top
>>121531126>no mention of radio broker in the entire threadand you fuckers have the nerve to call yourselves hipsters
>>121536232That's how I feel about 5 too. They should have cut half the music and doubled down on fake podcasts. Would have fit better with how things are going.4 is where it really starts going wrong. The radio stations in 3, Vice City and San Andreas all fit the setting and contribute the atmosphere. But the radio stations in 4 kind of just take me out of the game. These stations would never get play in 2008.
>>121553100I mentioned it. I said it was shit.
the only time i ever enjoyed jazz was driving around on mushrooms in this game
>evil woman.ogg>in the big gbody with the rake>in the rainfor me it was the most immersive feeling ever
I miss when they still made these games. Driving around and listening to tunes in a game, downloading the soundtracks on Kazaa, burning a CD then driving around in real life at night listening to the same music, killing a real hooker, robbing a real gas station, damn, now that was kino.
>>121543548>>I Wanna Be Your Dog instead of Search and Destroyfuck you
>>121553601Playing these on mushrooms is kino. Last time I played gta 5 on shrooms I did the michael does yoga mission and then when jimmy drugs him and you're flying through the air. V
>>121553579fuck you, bitch.
>>121531126>Hands down the weakest soundtrack in the series. (the classic rock station was still mostly good though)The only people who say this are the same ones who say GTA SA has the best soundtrack despite being a greatest-hits compilation. There are people who will say IV has a terrible soundtrack while ignoring the absolute gems that are The Vibe 98.8, Fusion FM, and Beat 102.7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-KwqE2I5p4
>>121554242But san andreas and gta 4 are the best soundtracks.
>>121531300for me? its gotta be VCPR with my favorite radio host, maurice chavez.
>>121554545True, but everyone talks too much about Radio X and K-DST or never brings up how there are too many tracks on Radio Los Santos produced by a she thang (and ZERO DJ Quik songs).
>>121554609Master sounds and csr are the best stations in the entire series
>>121554609King Tee, Del The Funky Homosapian, Ice T, and The Pharcyde were absent too.
fellas I need help. when I was a kid I used to buy bootleg CDs of modded gta vc. they were numbered but they were all pretty much the same except for one which was smth like 2005 edition. I think you start as CJ in the airport but what matters is the music that played on the radio was just so good. stuff like nana - lonely or britney spears - toxic. ironically darude sandstorm also played and it was when I first learned about it. I looked everywhere for that version and could never find it. the CD that I bought had 6 different versions one of them was the matrix mod and I found that. I know im throwing this out there but I hope someone knows about this and can help me :)
>>121531126gtav is miles worse, so is 3 and liberty city stories.
