"Best of" GTA Music

[Thicc Romney]

If Rockstar were to release an album with the most notable songs from the series, what would you choose? You would have a limit of 28 songs across 2 discs (14 per disc). Try to take in consideration the length/popularity and try to keep a good balance of Genres/games.

[Nenad Grujic]

Combination from Vice City, and EFLC, and VCS, and some music from SA.

This songs is literally a rainy Liberty City.

-snip-

I'd personally switch places of either Mother, Killing In The Name Of or Too Young To Fall In Love with Wheels Of Steel by Saxon (Saxon is Heavy Metal, and far more Metal than all of those 3 mentioned songs)

I respect your opinion, but I like it to be on the other disc to even things out. I'll just change the title of the discs.

EDIT: Done

It's on my list at #27. Slumpussy - Gangster Friday is the original song name and artist. It was renamed as Da Shootaz - Joyride for its GTA3 Lips 106 appearance, of which the song was censored for comedic effect.

 

Interesting how most are choosing the rock music as "best of".

Yea that's totally not biased right

 

Really though I dunno. Like if they associate GTA with rock music then that's their thing, but at this point they're just repeating one another.

Having rock music on list I think is fine ... but I think OP did say to try and balance out list. But yeah I agree with the repeating.

K-DST in San Andreas and Flash FM in Vice City are the two best radio stations of GTA in my opinion
