Favourite Radio Station

Bonesy.

Just wondering what's everybodys favourite radio station from any of the GTA games, mine would have to be Ram Jam in The Ballad of Gay Tony

I liked Radio X in San Andreas and whatever radio station in Vice City played "Take these broken wings..."

Passenger

When nobody understands you........wed do!

Flash FM!


/intro to 'out of touch' by hall and oates - magic!

Plus, Mary Beth Maybell on K-Rose while driving from Los Santos to San Fierro through farmland and up mountains

Actally I just remembered K-Rose! Yeh that's my fave especially with the flying car cheat..something amazing about listening to country music and flying a truck..

Top 3:

1: Chatterbox
2: V-Rock
3: VCPR

VCPR I think is pretty underrated. It takes more time to fully listen to each segment, and being GTA, you're not always in the car for too long. But I think it's brilliant.

Notable mentions to K-DST (pretty much the only station I listened to in San Andreas) and Liberty Rock Radio

Testament1

The chat shows are usually pretty off the wall hilarious. For music it's a toss between V-Rock or Radio Los Santos (gangsta rap yo :pac:)

BOHtox

Libeert Rock Radio, anything with Lazlow and generally the talkshows are pretty good.

Was that VRock? I loved that station!

I had to catch myself there last Friday night. I was driving along listening to Friday night 80s on Today FM and had an overwhelming urge to pick up a prostitute, ride her, let her get out of the car, then beat her up and rob her money.

I think it was Flash FM - they had Billie Jean. I used to just drive around aimlessly to listen.

You might be right. Whatever it was, it was awesome! I used to love goign around doing jumps listening to it. Time well spent if you ask me.

Junco Partner

top five in no particular order
k-jah west- introduced 12 year old me to reggae.

vcpr- konstantinos smith was gas "i'm going to keep wearing black till something darker comes along"

radio x -janes addiction great great tune

kdst- horse with no name just beautiful

wave 103 - flock of seagulls while bombing it through downtown in an infernus dont get much better.

clonadlad

San Andreas- K Rose.

Never really listen to country but that presenter was hilarious. Doing about 200 trucking missions just to listen was ridiculous now I think of it.

J. Marston

Listening to Freebird on K-DST while flying through the desert was cool.

Blisterman

Gotta be Head Radio!

but seriously, it's gotta be Wave 103. Never before has a station matched the feel of a game so well.

Driving down a Sunny Art Deco boulevard with this playing = Bliss

Radio-X

Liberty City Hardcore (the DLC version with Max Cavalera as DJ :cool:)
Flash FM
Liberty Rock Radio

My favourite song to drive to in Vice City, the build up to the chorus is immense,

I could never get out of the car when this was playing

Loved Radio Los Santos in San Andreas...

little big planet 2

Delta_Raven1

GTA3 = K-Jah
Vice = VCPR
San Andreas = Radio X
Liberty Stories = MSX 98
Vice Stories = V-Rock
IV = Integrity

Emotion in Vice City was the best station ever! Introduced me to all those 80's power ballads...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhQVRPIHAt4

San Andreas: WCTR, Radio-X, K-DST, K-Rose, can't choose between them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAdlZ2F-fs8

IV: Vladivostok, Electro Choc, Journey, LRR for the Pumpkins 1979. Didn't think Integrity was Lazlow's best work tbh.

And the post earlier with the GTA1 song has reminded me of some of the great songs in those games too that are probably overlooked. Loved this song back in the day, always loved hopping in a pickup to listen to it.

And finally, the best track from GTA: London.

Cruising round Ganton, three GSF's in my pimped out low-rider, honking at hookers, heading over to rolling heights Ballaz country to cap some of those mo****a's, blaring this. Good times.

Flash FM in vice city. I loved that station too

GTA1 - Going into a pickup truck just to listen to the country song.

GTA III: Chatterbox, Flashback FM, and Double Cleff FM.

Vice City: Flash FM

San Andreas: K-Rose and K-Dst

GTA IV: Vladivostok FM

Wertz

You can't ask me to just choose one from all the titles...

III - Game FM (yo) Royce Da 5 9, Sean Price...really typified the original LC for me.

VC - Wildstyle (yeah rap again). With VC I loved all the stations really, being an 80's kid.

SA - Toss up bewteen Los Santos and SF-UR depending on my mood...again music from my teens so hard to choose...K DST was great too...and Radio X.

IV - Not sure I have one...I don't have the expansions but whilst looking through the track listings many of those jump out at me (gonna have to get the expansions)...IV always underwhelmed me with the soundtrack...I usually stick on the jazz station oddly enough...it suits the city the most I thought.
