Full San Andreas soundtrack details
From house to funk to country to gangsta rap, the next Grand Theft Auto's radio selection is the series' biggest yet.
One of the most fun aspects of the Grand Theft Auto games is the selection of radio stations. Besides passing time as you drive from one heinous crime to the next, they provide entertainment and atmosphere. This was definitely true in Vice City, whose Scarface-era aura was heightened by a constant stream of early-'80s hits.
Since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is set in 1992, its radio stations are also reflective of that era--or some are, anyway. The selection of musical genres this time around is more varied than in past games. As before, there's a talk radio station (WCTR), a rock station (K-DST The Dust"), and an R&B station. (CSR). However, this time around there are two hip-hop stations--gangsta rap station Radio Los Santos and Playback FM, which features classic hip-hop (and whose DJ is voiced by Chuck D). Reggae is also back in the form of K-JAH West, presumably the sister station to Grand Theft Auto III's K-JAH. Another musical-genre returnee from GTAIII is techno, in the form of SF-UR. But San Andreas also offers several new styles of music. Most impressive of these is Master Sounds, which offers a delectable selection of rare grooves (How's a drive-by to James Brown sound?). A close runner-up is Bounce FM, an all-funk station whose DJ is played by Mr. P-Funk himself, George Clinton. San Andreas also features Radio: X, an "alternative" station sporting a mix of grunge, metal, and indie rock. In a nod to the game's newly added rural areas, there's also K-Rose, a country station. Several radio stations from previous GTAs that aren't in San Andreas are: Latin, classical, public radio, drum 'n' bass, and--oddly enough--an '80s channel. A full track listing is below:Bounce FM
