GTA V: 25 Radio Stations That Should Be Included
11. 'World' Music
Example name: Global BeatA GTA game habitually has a foreign-influenced station: Vice City had the Latin jazz Espantoso, Liberty City Stories the Arabic music of Radio del Mundo and IV had reggaeton San Juan Sounds plus the Eastern European flavourings of Vladivostok. Odds favour another, most likely to inhabit Latin-based material due to the magnitude of Mexican immigrants and Latin American ambience found in Los Angeles.
Playlist suggestions:
12. Funk
Example name: Chiliad Central I'm a big advocate of funk music, so it may come as no surprise to discover that Master Sounds & IF99 were actually my favourite listens from the past two main games. IF99 featured afrobeat with a great selection of African classics while Master Sounds was heavy with James Brown influence and tracks sampled by rappers. Honestly, I wouldn't mind the same again; such is the strength of the Godfather and his compatriots. With two stations demonstrating funk at their core on San Andreas you'd be pardoned for assuming it has every chance of showing up again. Playlist suggestions: The O'Jays - I Love Music Lonnie Liston Smith - Devika James Brown Hot Pants War Outlaw The Isley Brothers - It's Your Thing Powerline - Double Journey Chuck Brown - Bustin' Loose King Floyd - Groove Me Gil Scott-Heron - The Bottle The Commodores - Brick House Stevie Wonder Sir Duke Bobby Byrd - I Need Help (I Can't Do It Alone) KC & The Sunshine Band - I'm Your Boogie Man Chances of inclusion: 50%13. Classic Pop & New Wave
Example name: Sunset FMI would absolutely love a return to the 80s pop that made Vice City so popular but I admit it's not authentic to feature in every single game. But if Episodes From Liberty City, a game set in the modern era, can have a Vice City FM, then why not something alike for this? The Saints Row games have likewise incorporated an old pop station. This could quench the 80s nostalgia thirst with some tunes reminiscent of Vice City. You can be the most devilish metalhead and you'll still find joy in these vintage corny tunes.
