welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 licensed songs in Grand Theft Auto
freaking brothers every way like I say I
can’t believe today was a good day for
this list we’re taking a look at the
most inspiring and endearing tracks used
in the Grand Theft Auto series from
various musical genres and styles shake
em up shake em up shake em up shake them
we’re not just ranking this list on
personal preference but instead
factoring in how well the song fits the
setting and mood of the game it’s
featured in helping to build the world
and set the atmosphere because only God
moves with you Goku’s number 10
Radio gaga Queen Grand Theft Auto 5
nostalgia can be a powerful force
lending additional weight to a work of
fiction such as the case for this song
featured on the Los Santos rock radio
station in Grand Theft Auto 5 its
significance to the story at hand was
first alluded to in the trailer of the
games focusing on the personal issues of
middle-aged ex-criminal Michael de Santa
why do I have to hold your hand through
this one his life crisis bullshit thus
Radio gaga feels fitting whenever it
plays it’s a song driven by longing for
the past
paralleling Michaels own internal
conflict and inability to move on you’re
plainly addicted to chaos well I’m not
sure that’s true a rich a miserable
number 9 sleepwalking the chain gang of
1974 Grand Theft Auto 5
the fact that this song was used to
promote the game should tell a great
deal about its value this track by
electronic rock band the chain gang of
1974 was drawn upon for many of the
television spots and commercials for
grand theft auto 5 well welcome back man
one of the game’s official trailers even
used sleepwalking in conjunction with
dramatic scenes which ended up
foreshadowing its later use in the story
buzzer group hugs out of the questions
Franklin’s potential murder of Michael
in one ending is capped off by
sleepwalking playing over the credits
with the bittersweet feelings about
being quite appropriate
number eight the message Grandmaster
Flash and the Furious Five grand theft
auto vice city the 80s were a time of
excess and change and the music had to
reflect that
thus in 1982 we got the message which
fixated on the struggle to overcome a
troubled background and find success I
guess that’s a perspective thing hey do
with time for the family is no piece of
cake but the family looks after its own
okay this concept of seeking power and
Status for self-improvement fits with
the entitlement and delusions of
grandeur that crops up in 80s culture
making it a useful element of
satirically driven works like by city
well I hope you’re having a good time
because I’m going out of my mind with
worry ER at the very least it’s a
believable reason for the message being
included on the game’s radio soundtrack
to say nothing of the songs easygoing
beat to the city and got sussel sedated
to have to get a pitch you couldn’t make
it on their own
number 7 midnight City m83 Grand Theft
Auto 5
everyone needs a little pop in their
life probably anyway m83 song midnight
city found its way into the extended
Grand Theft Auto 5 radio soundtrack
playing intermittently on non stop pop
FM what makes this song interesting is
the blend of melancholic lyrics and
echoing instrumental work creating a
tune that evokes the sense of longing
without being overly melodramatic
it’s perfect then for late night
cruising and pleasant introspection
through the busy streets of Los Santos
number six swimming pools drank Kendrick
Lamar Grand Theft Auto five I was in the
dark room loud tones lip gonna make a
bow soon that i’ma get done filling up
my cup I see the crown yeah we know
there’s a lot of Grand Theft Auto 5 on
this list but hey it’s a great
soundtrack anyway this is such a
depressing song yeah it’s quite a good
change of pace sit down Frank Stan do
Frank Casa Frank we cool Frank swimming
pools serving as Lamar’s way of
reflecting on the impact of liquor on
his life hammers home it’s tragic nature
with a repeating central beat and
generically grim sound but its very
nature contrast it with the more
energetic or nostalgia driven tracks in
the Grand Theft Auto series another
Genesis right now and I’m hoping to lead
you to the beat engine yet by virtue of
its raw emotional force it effortlessly
offers players a unique means of
reflecting and losing themselves in
thought plus the beats awesome to Train
okay so we cool baby baby number five
welcome to the jungle Guns and Roses
grand theft auto san andreas
and good times were had by all
Guns N’Roses 1987 single welcome to the
jungle found itself linked to San
Andreas by way of being used in said
Games trailer reinforcing the intense
action and amusement to come
the fact that welcome to the jungle
cycles through the in-game radio acts
station is a welcome bonus especially
considering the song deals with the
struggles of big-city life
Oh a more fitting parallel to Carl
Johnson’s reluctant dive back into the
criminal underworld we cannot conceive
huh unless it was wrapped that might be
more fitting
number four feel good it guerrillas
featuring De La Soul grand theft auto 5
some songs thrive on the mood that they
set feel-good Inc is one such song a rap
rock tune written to voice feelings of
societal disconnect and isolation
it’s underlying theme of longing to
escape from society’s pressure gave the
song it’s simple but evocative appeal it
makes sense then that Rockstar would
include feel-good Inc in the expanded
non stop pop FM lineup Michael Franklin
and Trevor the three protagonists of
grand theft auto 5 cope with similar
dissatisfied feelings as those
expression in the song it’s nice when
things match up like that right number
three flashing lights Kanye West
featuring dwell Grand Theft Auto 4
those listening to the beat 102.7 radio
station in Grand Theft Auto 4 may have
stumbled upon this Kanye West single
finding themselves left an odd it’s
tragic tone the song deals with a
relationship in decline as well as the
distasteful nature of paparazzi with
both vocalists featured expressing
remorse I know what was fab Bay Bay a
Bay lately you’ve been all on my brain
given how much Grand Theft Auto 4
focuses on the misfortune of its
characters particularly the player
character niko bellic
it’s appropriate that a song about
losing one’s way would show up flashy
lies number 2 fortunate son Creedence
Clearwater Revival ran Theft Auto 5
another addition made to Los Santos rock
radio via the re-release of Grand Theft
Auto 5 this particular track manages to
fit the game’s tone while still being
excellent as a singular work the
protesting tone inherent to fortunate
son has been adapted for a variety of
purposes elsewhere meaning there’s a
precedent for its use to emphasize the
over-the-top criminal antics here
yet it’s distinct and hard-edged enough
to stand out retaining the spirit that
spurred its creation in the first place
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
you get you me no no leave all we got
all right
number one danger zone kenny loggins
grand theft auto five
few things sum up the shear audacious
nature of Grand Theft Auto quite like
this originally recorded for the 80
smash film Top Gun this Kenny Loggins
song was adapted to grand theft auto 5
in its remastered edition
not only can danger zone be found and
enjoyed be a Los Santos rock radio
it’s simply inspiring toon caps off a
heist mission setup intended
specifically as an homage to the film of
its origin
while both fueling a positive energy in
the players and underlining the game’s
broader theme of nostalgia based longing
it’s also a super bold and fun song in
its own right
