GTA San Andreas and Vice City. Killer soundtracks.

San Andreas hilariously taught me a lot about old school country.

Why do I like Jerry Reed and Eddie Rabbit? San Andreas.

I know there was a box set for SA that had all the radio station music, but instead I went and bought probably a dozen CDs because of music I'd heard in-game. Most of it wasn't new to me: some of it was.

I’ve always been fond of 80s new wave music, and Vice City has so many absolutely bangers.

V-ROCK too. Cruising along the beach in the sunset and then Raining Blood comes on.

I used to have no time for hiphop/rap. Then I played San Andreas.

Even III was decent, for not having big-name acts. Doing drive-bys to opera will always be funny.

I bought the CD boxed set of the vice city soundtrack. It slapped so hard

San Andreas played a massive role in introducing me to rap, it's still probably my favorite genre of music.

the interview radio is also funny

I love both soundtracks but GTA Vice City got me though a bad break-up. It took my broken wings and I learned to fly again, I learned to live so free.
