Thanks! Just one more thing I'd like to ask, could you make a Russian playlist for Vladivostok FM? For obvious reasons I believe you'd be able to make a better playlist than I would.

 

DJ: Ruslana

Genre: Eastern european music

"Post communist music to the eastern bloc"

 

Playlist:

• Nautilus Pompilius - Скованные одной цепью (Chained)
• Alisa - Ветер перемен (Wind of change)
• Dolphin - Снеговик (Snowman)
• t.A.T.u - Человечки (People)
• Kino - Место для шага вперёд (Space for a step forward)
• Pelageya - Валенки (Felt boots)
• Zemfira - Мальчик (Boy)
• Lerika - Сенсация (Sensation)
• Glukoza - Карина (Karina)
• Ruslana - Роби гучніше! (Do louder!)

Thanks!

I think this is pretty good. Also, it doesn't have to be entirely east coast rappers. The Beat in GTA IV and it's episodes had plenty of rappers from different regions, and GTA V's RLS had plenty of non-west coast rappers.

This was made due to the growing rise of 'alternative' pop, or indie pop. I initially envisioned this as being hosted by Lorde, hence it got its name from her debut album. However, I thought it would be interesting to give her a male co-host, which would make for some good little bits between the music, so I figured Nate Ruess would be a great choice since he's one of most well-known males in the indie pop scene. What do you guys think?

no offence but this playlist is so mainstream, it's quite fake indie (Lana Del Rey, M83, Fun, Foster The People, Lorde, they're very overrated), should put more underground bands, more authentic indie bands, not Top 40 bands.

[Homemade Dynamite]

But this is indie pop. There are tons of crossover indie pop artists that make it big on the radio while still staying true to their roots.

My point of view of indie and subgenres, it's about underground-authentic artists and bands, which their songs are not in the Top 40.

[RedDagger]

But doesn't the 'pop' in indie pop go against the idea of not being high in the charts? And as indie as a genre goes, it's not really defined by how well known the artist is - that isn't the point of a genre of music. If the music fits the genre of indie, it doesn't really matter how popular the artist is.

 

Still, I think it'd be fitting to throw 'alternative rock' in the genre description to cover all bases, as I couldn't call all the artists indie pop.

Indie Pop is defined as pop-centric music made by the artists themselves with complete creative control, possibly on an independent label. When big labels are used, it's only for distribution.

 

Here's to give you an idea

 

Indie Pop: Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Fun., Foster the People, Lykke Li, Banks, A Great Big World etc.

Not Indie Pop: Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Maroon 5, One Direction, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Rihanna etc.

I made this with a preference towards rappers from Northern California, which wasn't easy to do since most modern rappers from that area are completely underground. The ones not from that area are from LA, while the ones not from CA at all had songs that fit the feel I'm going for perfectly. What do you guys think?

10. 11/5 - Garcia Vegas (1995)
11. Hollow Tip - Steady Flossin' (2007) (Does Sacramento counts? It's close to Bay Area.)
12. U.D.I. - Under Da Influence (1995)
13. Dubee - My Thang (2005)
14. San Quinn - Waist Deep (2014)
15. Don Cisco - Real Bad Boys (1998)
16. E-40 - Ballin' Outta Control (1998)
17. Luniz - 5150 (1995)

Here you go, NightSpectre . All of my these Bay Area rappers (maybe except for Hollow Tip) are mostly underground as you said and are underrated. Night, there are a lot of Bay Area rappers from Vallejo to San Francisco itself. It's not that hard to find great Bay Area rappers.

• Rhythmic Urban Oldies
• Indie Alternative (i'll make this one)
• Pop hits
• Classical
• Classic hits (maybe from 60's/70's/80's/90's)

Anarchy FM: Your Music, Your Way.

This will use either local music on you HDD or you can link your Spotify Premium membership to your R*SC account and put songs into the "Anarchy FM" playlist, which it will then play at random, along with game specific commercials.

Also, am I the only one who hopes the next GTA will have a "radio autotune" option, where you can set a station in which the character will automatically change to that station each time they get into a car?

It's not hard to find great Bay Area rappers, sure. It is a lot harder to find great MODERN Bay Area rappers.I'd prefer to make an oldschool Northern Cali rap station (Bay Area Classics or sth like that) instead the mix between modern and oldschool underground rap music.

I'd also like to see the return of SF-UR. It would be still broadcast house music (modern stuff mixed with some 80's/early 90's classics) or, if you're hardly focused on defining modern pop-culture, EDM and Trap music.

That's a good playlist. Sadly, "Stairway to Heaven" can't happen. Jimmy Page doesn't let people license Led Zeppelin songs for movies and games, apparently believing they're "too good" for them or something. Yeah, god forbid his music gets discovered by a new generation.
