Hoping this gets in personally.

 

[balls of snow]

Classic rock but its all pop punk bands from 00's.

 

[Valedix]

I really hope so but I have a feeling it will be modern music.,

 

[sigmaZ]

Being Miami I hope they have some old school Power 96 vibes.

 

[Davesky]

 

[The Fartist]

I know it will have something for everybody. I remember even in GTIV-V, there was some music that, normally, I wouldn't be caught dead listening to outside of the game, but in-game? There's something about running over cops at full speed while "Gimme more" is playing, just perfect.

Hope they have this underrated gem in the game,

And this one:

 

[Ghost23]

80's here, 80's there, everything is 80's forever.

(What I'm saying is I hope not)

 

[Puscifer]

they should put this song on there

I saw her farewell tour and HOLY SHIT, she killed this song!

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Hope so, the 80s are the best in music, style, movies, and culture. Even speaking as someone that was born after it. I'll also want modern 80s theme stuff too like the sync wave music similar to Dynatron, Noir Deco Lazerhawk etc.

Remember when GTA games featured music for the atmosphere and vibe, instead of because of multimillion dollar deals with record companies?

Yeah, those days are fucking gone.

Yeah those modern days multimillion dollar deals with modern bands like, ....Tom Petty and Heaven 17 (the two only songs we know to be in the game/attempted to be).

Seriously I don't know where some of you have this idea that in a GTA game it's ONLY going to be modern stuff. Shit even in GTA Online there's stations like KULT playing stuff from Joy Division, New Order, Iggy Pop, etc.

[Laptop1991]

I hope so but i doubt it due to licensing issues, just look at the songs removed from the older GTA games, but i hope custom radio is in the game unlike the remasters, i liked putting my own songs in and listening to them.

 

[EDMIX]

I mean sure, it will have some oldies station so you can bet it will have 80s music

 

[YCoCg]

That's due to only licensing for 10 years, they've been doing longer deals now for a while, only one song was removed from GTA V for example.

Other license issues will mainly be around the big hitters and those who don't do it as often, don't expect artists like Michael Jackson, Metallica, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc as those are key known bands that are a nightmare to license songs from.

Yeah, hence wanting custom radio in the game and why Vice City had such good radio stations, and i wasn't referring to GTA V but the older games that i played a lot more of SP wise, i'm not expecting those songs in the game anyway.

This! The music will be fine, doesn't Sam pick most of the tracks himself? The man has good taste, let them cook.

[KungFucius]

Theyll be a radio station for oldies.

Otherwise itll be music that makes sense for the era.

Which is basically all 90s all the time. Radio is so weird today.

I am almost thinking they make you link your streaming service or make you stick with the cheap to license stuff.

 

[Paasei]

Remember to never update the game after the first year so you can keep all the songs.

 

[CliffBronger]

I always used to listen to that weird sci-fi type radio station when playing GTA 4 i can't remember the name.

The Journey?

^^
Thats the one !!

 

[Putonahappyface]

Although Vice City is a masterpiece i never was a fan of 80s music.
I hope its modern music.

 

[bad guy]

Cobra Man would be a good fit imho. New but retro:

 

[SirTerry-T]

Johnny Hates Jazz.... seriously?

"I am a jabbering wreck right now. I need The Benz"

 

[bad guy]

 

[yogaflame]

I hope to hear allot of Billy Idol and Duran Duran songs. The song by Billy Idol is perfect for the story of the game.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Imagine running over people and cops listening to this.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Game us sadly not set in the 80s :/
I hope there is proper licensed 80s music.. but its modern day Rockstar..
