![]() Meet Me Halfway had all the hallmarks of a classic Grand Theft Auto song: memorable lyrics, pounding beats and enough dreaminess to warrant yet another nighttime drive. It was between The Next Episode and Still D.R.E, but let’s be honest: The Next Episode is better suited to all of Franklin and Lamar’s antics in and around Pillbox Hill than Still D.R.E will ever be. It’s easy to call everything iconic these days, but the opening synths on M83 classic Midnight City are nothing short of memorable. Survivor have always been good at motivating people through song, and this was no different when Burning Heart soundtracked your journey towards the next big heist. Another one of those songs perfect for lighting up to, ideally sitting on a sun lounger near Paleto Bay. From its powerful percussion to a larger than life chorus, it’s a jewel in Los Santos Rock Radio’s crown.Ĩ THE DOOBIE BROTHERS – WHAT A FOOL BELIEVESĪh, The Doobie Brothers. Steve Winwood was definitely onto something when he released Higher Love. This Fergie banger is exactly what its title says it is: glamorous. This Yellowman classic is the perfect accompaniment to a hazy drive home after visiting Los Santos’ best coffeeshop – Smoke on the Water. Kick up the volume to 11, find (read: steal) the fastest vehicle you can and go full-on rage mode down the freeway as cops chase your tail.ġ2 YELLOWMAN – NOBODY MOVE NOBODY GET HURT There’s something so iconic about those opening keys, building up for what feels like forever before kicking into some classic 70s funk rock. Grand Theft Auto V did a solid job at putting together a groove-based radio station, on which this Brass Construction classic was the clear highlight.Ĭhannel X would have never been the same if Subliminal wasn’t blasting out of the speakers during your bike ride across the desert.Īn unmistakeable noughties pop classic of the highest order.ġ4 THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT – I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU Speaking of mirrors, FIDLAR used plenty of these when recording garage banger Cocaine. One of the more leftfield songs on the soundtrack, but certainly a perfect contender for late night cruising around Mirror Park. Remember that cutaway where Trevor returns his Stockholm Syndrome-addled hostage Mrs Madrazo back to her husband? That would never be the same without this Chicago slow burner. We’ve left a short sentence with each song, but you should probably listen for yourself instead. Today, as we fill our time reliving the high life in Los Santos, we pick out the game’s 20 best songs. Add each station’s own host, a variety of game-specific radio fragments and you had yourself the ultimate gaming soundtrack experience. The pioneering Rockstar release’s in-game radio presented players with a choice of more than 20 stations, each with upwards of 25 songs on constant repeat. One game in particular did an incredible job at this, setting the bar incredibly high for years to come: Grand Theft Auto V. Over the years, video game soundtracks have presented us with so many memorable moments that it’s become hard to keep track of all the nostalgia.
