For actual "classic hip-hop" vibe of the station, as far as early 1990's rap standards go, the station should've been similar to Fresh 105 or Wildstyle (minus the electro and electro-funk stuff). No, not because the playlist is too short or something, but because the station was advertised as an "old-school hip-hop" or "classic hip-hop" one, even though it was just East Coast rap from around the same period of time RLS plays West Coast rap from. Given that Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You" and Modjo's "Lady" just fit so damn well with the game's vibe, I feel a house radio station of hits from 1998-2002 with songs such as Phats & Smalls "Tonite", Ann Lee's "Two Times", and that infamous "I'm Blue Bada Bi" song would have been awesome. Some songs from Pitbull, Eminem, Ne-Yo, and so on would've done wonders to keep this more contemporary and fit perfectly with Los Santos. I get that pop music is expensive, but the playlist on this radio was bloody all over the place. EDM was a huge thing during this time so EDM rave tracks would've been great to have rather than this hodgepodge.

They should have gone full EDM with this one. To answer your question, it's because R* have a massive hard on for the 80s. How the f*ck do f*ck do you not focus on an alternative radio station when you have a game in SoCal? No Weezer, Green Day, and so on, and the number of tracks are way too damn low, especially compared to LSRR which was saturated with hits. Should have been as big as Radio Mirror Park.
His mix was my favorite of the four, and it really fit the gritty atmosphere of LC at night. His set was way too short in my opinion, and should have been a lot longer. It's weird that a lot of iconic tracks by New York Dolls, Motorhead, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden were cut, not to mention alternative legends like Lou Reed and Love & Rockets being among those removed from the station. The current playlist is nice, but the deleted soundtrack was full of protopunk and heavy metal gems. The cut soundtrack had lots of amazing songs that could have padded out the length of this station a lot more, which is a shame since the updated playlist had an extremely unique, Grindhouse-esque aesthetic for the time period. They should have saved the tracks in this for an actual game set in Vice City.įits TLAD to a T with lots of nice hard-edged post-punk revival and blues rock songs by really underrated groups like Kill Memory Clash, The Yelling and Japanther. Lots of nice IDM and classic chillout tracks from the 90s that clashes really badly with early-to-mid-2000s hotel lounge music.Īmazing selection of tracks in IV, but I feel it's one of those stations that should have been updated in TBOGT, since it fits the atmosphere of that DLC really well.Īmazing playlist with nice obscure sophisti-pop songs that somehow ended up as a footnote in the box set of expansion packs. They should have went full-on Warp Records with this station. Would have been nice to hear other bands from the era like Dag Nasty and Gorilla Biscuits in the mix, as well as some post-hardcore stuff from the 90s. As such, it's a huge shame that the playlist was so damn short for this one, with only 10 songs in it (8 in the Complete Edition) with song lengths that mostly run between a minute to three, not helped by the fact that a few of the songs kind of sound the same.
#Gta wasted song series
Thread to write about radio stations throughout the series you feel have some degree of missed opportunities.Īs you might know, the hardcore scene in NYC/DC back in the 80s-90s was very influential to genres such as thrash and alternative metal.
