Topic	GTA Vice City literally has the best soundtrack in a video game ever >_>

San Andreas was just as amazing in terms of the music involved, but a lot of the stations in that game had older non-90s music which took away the charm of Vice City which was pretty strictly 80s except for some of the Latin jazz music. If Rockstar ever does the 90s again I hope they go all out. It needs to include actual 90s pop music station, eurodance, adult alternative, techno, trance, drum n bass, house, gangsta rap, grunge, alt metal, new jack swing, contempary r&b ballads, pop punk, neo-traditional country, pop rap, etc... Yeah, I think I get what you mean. San Andreas had a fine selection of music, but many of the radio stations felt more like they were more of a love letter to hip hop culture than plausibly accurate representations of the music of the era. Granted, the two rap stations, SF-UR (house music), Radio-X (grunge), and CSR (new jack swing) did reflect the era, but the country station featuring mixture of everything from 1950s honky tonk to 1980s country pop was such a broad selection that it seemed unfocused. Of course, can't forget K-DST, the "classic rock" station. Why the quotes? Let me explain: a majority of the songs were from the 1970s, but Eminence Front and White Wedding were from the early 1980s, and Tom Petty's Running Down a Dream is from 1989 if memory serves me correct. A song barely five years old as of 1992 doesn't really meet the criteria of "classic rock" in my mind. For 2004, when the game was made, yeah, then it's more believable to think of it as classic rock, but err, some of the songs on Radio-X were at least as old as Running Down a Dream... I mean, Welcome to the Jungle is from 1987. Which isn't grunge. It's hard rock, I think. But I digress. The greatest "offenders"and I don't mean to call the music bad; it wasn'twere K-Jah, Master Sounds, and Bounce FM. They primarily featured 1970s songs that many rappers sampled or were inspired by; these stations were anachronisms that ddidn't really fit the time period. However, what San Andreas truly lacked (in terms of music) was a contemporary pop station; a 1990s equivalent of Flash FM, if you will. --- Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images. <cite>Thompson posted [p:966543222] in GTA Vice C...
