Radio Stations: New Tracks?

[Spider-Vice]

Given that we're getting a new release of these games, possible track removals aside, which new tracks would you like to see/hope are added in each radio station that fit the time of the games? For instance, 2001 in III.

 

I'd personally love to see some more Moving Shadow stuff added to MSX.

I think that soundtrack wise the thing thats missing from 3 is a proper rock/metal station and I'd like them to add one with songs like

 

[Oh Sees]

 

[IsaacDK503]

It's very rare to see GTA 3 with famous music

MSX must be untouched. MSX must remain the station of that one guy rapping into a Cornflakes box. No songs remove, no songs added.

If GTA 3 adds a Rock Station, they should definitely add this song:

Are you sure you not mistaken this thread with GTA V one?

 

GTA III set in 2001, not 2021.

Does that mean that you literally have to add songs that came in 2001? Ofcourse not. Remasters don't exactly limit your choice of songs. Yes, they can always opt for renewing license but my theory here is simple, they can literally add new songs cause they "decided to re-release the game in 2021". It's just my unpopular opinion, continuity aside.

Yeah, like when Mafia DE added some Skrillex to the radio. It just worked, ya'know?

Games set in 2001 so they'd have to choose songs that came out in 2001 or before. Anything after 2001 wouldn't fit.

I feel like y'all are adding waaaaaaaaaaay too big songs by waaaaaaaaaaay too big artists to the GTA III rooster. I feel like going too overboard with licensed songs will just break the atmosphere of the game...

I highly doubt we will see any updates, even tho if I had to guess, GTA III is the most likely candidate, since all the stations are 15, max 25 minutes long, which is rather pitiful.

Here are my small predictions per station:

 

KJAH

Original KJAH was basically one tribute Halloween album, and i feel like it should keep this theme. Not all the songs from the album actually made a cut, and IF KJAH was to get an update I feel like R* would just add the rest of the songs to the mix, basically doubling the amount of the songs on OG KJAH. Still, I kinda feel like it might be an unlikely scenario, due to some copyright problems with the label, who distributed the album itself and the artist who created those dubs - Scientist.
Scientist - The Voodoo Curse
Scientist - Blood On His Lips
Scientist - Cry Of The Werewolf

Scientist - Night Of The Living Dead

Scientist - Ghost Of Frankenstein

 

Rise FM

Rise was always 5 initial singles from failed record label - Generation Records, which after GTA III released like 5 more singles and then went belly up. I only think it's appropriate to just include the rest of the songs from that failed label. Yes, I'd love Rise to be more akin to its GTA LCS counterpart, but as I said, changing those stations too much would, at least for me an atmosphere breaker...
Nebulus - Layer V
Shiver - Extra Life
Slyder - Multiple Cats
Nebulus - Blueless
Slyder - Jetscream

 

MSX FM

MSX FM is also rather easy to figure out, since all of the songs from the station come from single album release - Moving Shadow 01.1. IF they would update it (which I highly doubt, they would have to track down Codebreaker MC, and I don't think he will give the same performance from 2001), I feel like they would just add more songs from this album, that didn't make a cut.

TJ Rizing - Agent 007 (This one is technically in the game already, but it's so remixed with all the songs on the playlist that's it's borderline unrecognizable)

Calyx - Catapult
Rascal & Klone - The Phoenix
Rascal & Klone - The Grind
Aquasky - Uptight
Shere Khan - One Day
Technical Itch - Crystal
Dom & Roland - Imagination

I also feel like the Foul Play's Open Your Mind (Nookie Remix), might be featured as well, mainly because it was featured on The Sound of Grand Theft Auto: A Musical History, even tho it doesn't appear anywhere else in the series.

 

Flashback

Another rather obvious one, all they really have to do is add more songs from Scarface movie soundtrack, since that was the Flashback FM's main song source... Obviously Flashback has some of the best songs from Scarface already on it, but there are few other songs unused in the final version of the movie, and were later added as bonus tracks, and in my personal view, they would be perfect for GTA III's Flashback.
Paul Engemann - Success

Giorgio Moroder - Right Combination

Amy Holland - Turn Out The Night
Beth Anderson - Dance Dance Dance
Giorgio Moroder - Disco '79
Giorgio Moroder - No Wife No Kids (yes, this one is a bit dark for the station, but if you've watched the Scarface you'd know why this one would be perfect for GTA III)

 

Double Clef FM

Just more classics, nothing more, nothing less.
Ruggiero Leoncavallo - Vesti la giubba (yes, this one already appeared on the GTA LCS's Double Clef, but it was featured on the Japanese TV commercial for GTA III, and I feel like it would be a nice nod to it)
Mozart - Requiem in D Minor, K.626
Prokofiev - Dance Of The Knights
Georges Bizet - Carmen Habanera
Mozart - Requiem, KV 626 - 8. Lacrimosa
Bach - Air on the G String

Locatelli - Concerto grosso in C minor - Largo

Game Radio

Just like MSX and Rise, Game Radio was based on the songs from one label - Game, which has a sh*t ton of music released around that era, I can easily imagine R* picking up some songs. I personally chose more obscure ones, usually singles, because that's what the OG Game Radio songs usually were. Probably cheaper to get singles than an album songs, dunno.
Royce Da 5'9" - You Cant Touch Me
Lord Digga - My Flows Is Tight
Royce Da 5'9" - Take His Life ft. Tre Little
Agallah - 5 Star Millas
Royce Da 5'9" & DJ Premier - Boom
50 Cent ft. P-Dap & Pretty Ugly - Hit 'Em Up
Bad Meets Evil - Nuttin To Do (would be nice to finally hear Eminem on the GTA soundtrack ngl)
Blu Warta - This Is Luv

 

Head Radio

This and Lips are two hardest ones to balance out. Original one basically featured songs that were made specifically for the game, I kinda doubt, that R* would do that again, and I feel like they would just reuse GTA 1/2/LCS songs instead. We do know that the radio stations were meant to have larger role in the story line and they were meant to get more songs when you play the story, we do know one of them, but other than that it's pure guess game. I've chosen more obscure artists instead of stuff like Coldplay (bruh).

Tom Novy - Back to The Streets

Conor And Jay - Carry Me Off (no, it's NOT a beta song, stop spreading this misinformation. Still, it would be amazing nod to the GTA community if they added it!)

Ending Theme I (no, this isn't an actual song, but it getting a proper release and a name, would be really nice. Proposed name: Reality Bubble - Give Me Liberty)

Alien Crime Syndicate - What I Said
311 - I'll Be Here Awhile
Anna - Do It On Your Own (GTA II song)
15 Ways - Drive (GTA LCS song)
Accidental Superhero - 14 Miles (or really anything from Project Gotham Racing 2, it was full of indie 2000s goodies)

 

Lips 106

Ditto from Head Radio, tho if anything I feel like this one has more chance to get some licensed (and maybe bigger) pop songs, since its top 40 station.
Marydancin - Wash Him Off (this one really needs proper release...)

Ending Theme II (proposed name: Bleeding Stump - The Exchange)

S Club 7 - Don't Stop Movin'
So Solid Crew - 21 Seconds
Ohjaamo - Complications (GTA I song)
Pussywillows - Real Love (GTA II song)
Sunshine Shine - Mine Until Monday (GTA LCS song)
Cool Timers - Tonight (GTA LCS song)

 

I feel like all my choices are more or less realistic. As I said, I feel like it's rater unlikely R* will update any soundtracks at all, but if they'll, expect something more akin to my list rather than ones with big names and big hits.

That's the beauty of Skrillex. It just works everything. I once made it work on a date instead of romantic, slow songs. Huge kudos to them for being so adaptive in their tracks.

GTA V radio already have big names on pop station, like Britney Spears, Lady Gaga or Lorde, so why not?

At least, this could be just my wild speculation...

Yeah, but GTA V's radio was designed around the games atmosphere and the idea that it will have THE biggest stations and THE biggest names, unlike GTA III. Same goes for i.e. IV, where philosophy was to get big names, but their lesser known hits with blend of big songs. Each game went for different direction to capture certain atmosphere. Key word is atmosphere for me at least. III is not about the big names with big songs. Never was, and I don't think it should be.

Would I like to hear some big names? I wouldn't be crying about it, unless they would really f*ck it up, but I feel like I'd appreciate more thought out and more fitting selection of songs, that would expand the lightning in the bottle atmosphere that GTA III has.

And ofc this is speculation thread, we don't know what they are planning at the end of the day, I'm not mad at anyone here (with exception for that guy who wants to add Weeknd and 2019-21 songs to the game set in 2001...), I'm just giving you guys my personal, and researched, 3 cents, that's all.

My lists is more "what if R* designed GTA III radio stations by today standards" speculation than realistic expectations, so...
