Favourite Songs/Stations?

joe123

Well so far im finding it hard to like much of the songs in the new gta iv so just wondering what are peoples favourite songs and the radio stations there on...I want to find songs ive never heard of but end up thinking are great just like it was in san andreas and vice city.


So far my favourites are pretty well known already in Smashing Pumpkins and that lcd soundsystem song.

Theres a good one on "the journey" station aswell. Its an instrumental one sounds sort of epic...havent got chance to ring the zit number to find out what its called though.

Anyone any recomendations?

Brand Nubian - One For All on Classics

Gang Starr - Who's gonna Take The Weight - classics

can anyone tell i'm an old school hip hop fan? Great song from one of the greatest groups of all time

The Stooges - I wanna be your dog - Liberty Rock Radio

and

Bob Marley - Satisfy My Soul - Tuff Gong

an amazing piece of work from a true genius

whoever said the radio stations were rubbish, who are they trying to kid?

The Gopher track on Electrochoc is brilliant, as is Jailbreak by Lizzy on LRR, along with most of the other tracks. There is only one station I avoid, whatever the Raggaton station is. There are very few songs where I switch station, most of them are on Radio Broker. I am no a Nu Rave Rock fan at all. There are a few gems on Radio Broker tho.

I wanna be your dog is great. Probably my fave in this GTA.

Also liking the electro station, not usually my thing.

I like most of the music but that ****ing sample they play OVER AND OVER AND OVER on Massive B pisses me right off.

Probably the Phillip Glass track - his work tends to be on a different level of epicness. Those Quatsi films with his soundtrack are intense.

Not too many songs I love in this one - 1979 is probably the best. Was playing Three Leaf Clover earlier and that came on as I tried to outrun the cops - great stuff.

Some of the chat shows are hilarious - spent a good while listening to Laslo today.

Depends on my mood though really - would usually stick to The Journey, Liberty Rock, Radio Broker and occasionally JNR (makes me wish there was a GTA in 1930s prohabition era - although Mafia kinda already is that, just not quite as good).

Yep Philip Glass...just dawned on me the song is used in the first trailer for the game.

Comparing gta iv soundtrack to san andreas and vice city just doesnt match up. I just dont like much of the stuff on it at all.

Some of the chat shows are very good. Ricky Gervais is quality in the game. Just a shame in the drop in standard regards to songs from the older gta sountracks. But that is my taste so dont kill me for saying that :cool:

Bob Marley - Pimper's Paradise (Tough Gong)
His best piece of work imo, and one that nearly always gets overlooked for more obvious choices. I was chuffed to bits when I found out it'd be included.

ELO - Evil Woman (Liberty Rock)
Classic!

Top notch soundtrack all around really:)

donmeister

the electro station is excellent in my opinion

fav song. testarossa autodrive seb. remix by kavinsky,savage

Ah ELO. What a fantastic band, in some weird chessy and fun sort of way. One of the few songs in the game that put a grin on my face when I heard it blasting out.

Must say I'm loving the Electro station too, especially the following:

Kavinsky - Testarossa Autodrive (SebastiAn Remix) - great song to drive around to.

Boys Noize - & Down - saw him perform this live in Spy last Friday, what a night.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=sr_eBQzezcQ

Simian Mobile Disco - Tits and Acid - one of their best songs imo.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3doZmxKylis

Justice - Waters of Nazareth - classic.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ze8xvJAB0dA

Duff Man Jr.

Swizz Beats - Top Down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8k1aLgdRX4

Holsten

I'm liking the hip hop one, the reggie one and the electro station.

Vyse

The journey, what a great station. Have a great Global Communication track on that one.

Liberty Rock is the only music station I can listen to. And I pretty much like all the songs they play on it. The rest of the stations just do my head in.

That was me in SA. All I could stomach was the rock station, or chat station. This is my fave GTA soundtrack. VC was good too, but a little too 80's. This is the first GTA with decent electronic music, and the best rock station, LRR

eddiehead

I like Smashing Pumpkins, I've only heard it once though, 1979 is it?
Flashing Lights by Kanye West too

Dord

I was surprised to hear Marvin Gaye's song Inner City Blues in the game. I love that song. Also there's a Jean Michel Jarre song in there that ain't half bad.

Radio Broker is defo my favourite.

Favourite songs include flashing lights (kanye west), LCD soundsystem, iggy and the stooges (wanna be your dog).

The chat shows arent half as good as SA imo

steviec

The soundtrack is growing on me.

At first I only listened to the Liberty Rock and Radio Broker, neither of which had songlists as good as their San Andreas counterparts.

But recently I've been listening more and more to the other stations and there's actually a lot of decent songs in genres I wouldn't normally listen to.

Same here, I'm on a bit of J&R buzz at the moment!

Dord

Two tone is a good station also. :cool:

Nailz

In the manual it says Ian Brown is a caller on that American politics station, is it actually `the` Ian Brown. I enjoy listening to Iggy Pop on Liberty Rock, both him and his song, also the second Regee station is legendary stuff.

thomohawk

You can never be too 80s , 'sides it was set in 85/86 after all!

Whats that reggae song they always play when going for a game of a pool? Yknow, its the one where an airhorn goes off in it every 20 seconds. Very annoying!!

Faves:ELO-Evil Woman, Swiss Beatz-Top Down. After that, its a mix between the chat stations and the funk station!

DenMan

Has to be Radio Los Santos and Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day. Always does it for me. Real laid back!

yeah,chilled like a mofo!:)

GTA 3 was the best for music,a mon avis!Slyder,the band savage!

GioSosStavros

No way dude - Vice City rocked!

There's only one or two decent songs in this new one - ELO - Evil Woman being one of them.

1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins also tickles my fancy.
