I mean, holy fucking shit or what?!

As great as San Andreas's OST was, Vice City trumps it, and several other games that boast impressive songs. It's a dream come true for someone who grew up in the 80s, early 90s

I want to boot up the game now.

 

[Anth0ny]

Of course. No other GTA has come close since.

 

[Ramrock]

It has!

Vice City >>>>> all GTA's

80s forever!!

 

[Omni]

I bless the rains down in Africaaaaaaaa

I agree! Absolutely love it. Also the only time my mother would sit with me and watch me play Xbox (she loved the soundtrack)

 

[eternalthree]

But that's because 80s music was the best music of all eras.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Can't disagree with that!

 

[BloodMoney]

As a child of the 80's, I agree.
The next GTA needs to be set in the 80's, so much style, so much bravado, sogood.gif

 

[Kost2Coast]

probably my first true gta game to finish to completion. music was awesome. Even better was the going into the Malibu club and see those horribly awkward dance moves to these songs. I still make fun of it to this day with my brother.

 

[RampantCereal]

la vida es una lenteja, o la tomas o la dejas!

 

[Ragus]

I...

I just died in your aaaaaaaaaaaaamrs toniiiiiiiiight

 

[Corpsepyre]

Emotion 98.3 has to be the BEST radio station not just in the series, but in any game where you can switch on a station. Fuck, so good.

 

[Glass Rebel]

but Vice City doesn't have

 

[Basketball]

San andreas had pretty good music too

Spoiler

and it was the better game, so is V

 

[godisntheradio]

Rockstar nailed to 80's setting, that's why i think it's at least in the top 3 best GTA's

 

[Cragvis]

Wrong, the 80s were trash.

the 20's were where it was at.

boop boop boop bee doop

 

[rjc571]

I love how Billie Jean was automatically the first song you heard, the first time you hijacked a car in the game. Shame that it had to be removed from the PC version.

 

[GlamFM]

Absolutely, that´s common knowledge.

 

[vatstep]

Was this the first game with such a significant, expansive licensed soundtrack? It sure felt like it at the time. I just remember being completely blown away when the songs were announced.

Regardless, it's still my favorite.

 

[Ishida]

Yes, Vice City has, by far, the best Soundtrack in the entire franchise. Not even a contest.

 

[AlmostMilk]

Pressing Issues with Maurice Chavez was the best radio in any GTA game.

 

[CaptNink]

Agreed.

Loaded up FLAH FM, WAVE, and FEVER on to the iPod for the yearly family summer car-trip. The wife and kids loved it!

 

[TIMtationX]

Emotion 98.3 was my favorite. Fernando was awesome. Glad he's in GTAV

 

[James1o1o]

San Andreas had K-DST though.

It's a cross between that and V-Rock.

GTA V music selection was bad in my opinion.

 

[DrFunk]

Steppin' Out = love

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

I wish there was still a way to get the box set complete soundtrack.

 

[Corpsepyre]

I think I'll die if they announce the next GTA is set in the 80s, and boasts an equally amazing song list from the era.

 

[Shinjiru]

I agree. Vice City's radio stations were the best.

 

[Kain]

dat V-Rock.

dayummmm

 

[Nyx]

Agreed.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Vice City and GTA V are the only two in the series to get my actively listening in.

Flash FM, Wave 103, FlyLo FM, and Radio Mirror Park are all my jams. Love 'em.

 

[Ragus]

More mood swings than your pregnant wife.

 

[Certinty]

Although I think SA and V are far superior games, I totally agree here. Saying that though SA has a pretty nice song selection too overall and V's wasn't too bad either.

 

[iosefe]

Agreed.

Loaded up FLAH FM, WAVE, and FEVER on to the iPod for the yearly family summer car-trip. The wife and kids loved it!

Commercials included?

 

[bender]

I love all three of the soundtracks from the PS2 era games. The radio stations in IV and V don't come close to the quality found in those titles.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Nah buddy. San Andreas is where it's at.

 

[Maintenance]

And I raaan, I ran so faaar awaaay.

VC had the best songs, that's for sure.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Definitely

 

[E92 M3]

I love how Billie Jean was automatically the first song you heard, the first time you hijacked a car in the game. Shame that it had to be removed from the PC version.

Yes, that was perfect.

I truly hope R* puts a Vice City throw back in V HD version. I'd be so HAPPY.

 

[_DiGiTaL_]

It's set in the 80s = unfair advantage to all other generations to date! The 70s would be the best runner up but the 80s will still win best generation of music from all genres.

 

[Corpsepyre]

I was incredibly disappointed by IV's music, but V made it look like the best selections out there. Seriously, what did V have? I don't remember.

 

[AkuMifune]

Best opening theme too.

[ReBurn]

but Vice City doesn't have

And that's ok.

 

[Mr Git]

Absolutely. The whole thing is still regularly shunted onto a playlist at gatherings/parties.

 

[Bubbavelli]

CJ would like a word with you OP

 

[Floridian]

Vice city's music definitely complimented the game's atmosphere the best compared to other sequels. I'll wait until gta 5's expanded music offerings before I decide which is 2nd best.

 

[Pics_nao]

Flash FM the GOAT

 

[Drunken Master]

Nah buddy. San Andreas is where it's at.

Absolutely!

 

[ComputerBlue]

Without question the best soundtrack.

Vice City stories is pretty damn great as well!

 

[Papytendo]

If you guys like Vice City's soundtrack, also play Vice City Stories. Wave 103 is better on there.

 

[Haklong]

Yup. Loved just driving around and listening to the stations.
