One of the best parts of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto games is the radio stations. They ar💧e a key ingredient in immersing you in the game world and are essential to constantly setting the mood of the time period i🔯n which the particular game is set.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:GTA: Vice City, which is set in 1986, features nine radio stations divided between music channels and talk stations. The following list ranks them from worst to best. Because humour and music are subjective, everyone will have a different list. Fortunately, it is hard to go wrong with Vice City's killer soundtrack and hilarious talk shows.
10 Fever 105
This radio station plays funk and disco. Unfortunately, disco, in particular, was not in a great place 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:during the mid-1980s. Once the 1970s ended, disco was unfairly considered a joke and derided for decades before it garnered a n💞ew appreciation in recent years.
The disco music from the early 80s was less than spectacular. All the same, there are some heavy-hitters on this station, such as Wannabe Startin' Somethin' by Michael Jackson.
9 Wave 103
Wave 103 plays mostly new wave music. New Wave music by 1986 lost some of the edge it had in the late-1970s and the start of the decade. Don't expect the artsy groups like Devo or the grit of rockers like Elvis Costello.
This staꦺtion features groups like Frankie Goes to Hollywood, A Flock of Seagulls, and Animotion. All good bands, but they definitely start to veer toward the parts of 80s culture that became so easy to parody until the whole decade became somewhat of a punchline in some circles.
8 Wildstyle
Hip hop was still in its infancy in the 80s. Classic albums like Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, Dr Dre's The Chronic, and Nas' Illmatic (among many other seminal classics) had yet to really blow the doors off the genre.
Old school hip-hop is still fun to listen to, but it doesn't have the same artistry as the songs that would come in the latter half of the decade. All the same, Wildstyle picks the cream of the crop and makes for an entertaining station.
7 🥀 Radio Espantoso
Vice City is very obviously168澳洲幸运5开奖网: based on Miami, and the game does not hide this ♑in the slightest. It is only appropriate, then, that a radio station represent the Latino and, more specifically, the Cuban community in Miami and Vice City.
The radio station also differs from every other option becaꦚuse the songs are not from the 1980s. In fact, a large handful of them are even from the 1960s and 1950s. With this station, you can commit vehicular crimes and practice your salsa steps at the same time.
6 K-Chat
T♏here are two talk radio stations in V🅰ice City. K-Chat is a series of one-on-one interviews between host Amy Scheckenhausen and several celebrities and personalities.
Amy is hilariously inept at her job and is either too overwhelming for the guest or could not care less about them. This station sits behind the other talk radio show because they are only one-on-one and lack the group dynamic. Still, K-Chat is wildly entertaining to listen to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:while in the car.
5 🔯 E🔥motion 98.3
Fernando Martinez has been in just about every Grand Theft Auto game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:since GTA 3. In Vice City the character DJs the Emotion 98.3 station, which plays all the heartwrenching tunes from the decade. Not all of these are love songs, but they all tug on the heartstrings in one way🙈 or another.
One outlier is probably Kate Bush's Wow. While the song is said to be about show business and not about love or melodrama, any reason to put one of the most incredible performers and musicians of the 20th century on the soundtrack is a good one.
4 VCPR
Vice City Public Radio is the other chat station and i🎀s a parody of public radio stations. Host Maurice Chavez ho🍎sts a panel of guests with vastly different views and values. Every episode often ends with chaos.
In between eachꦍ show, two other people interrupt to ask for donations, as per usual for publicly funded programming. The dynamic between the guests is the most entertaining part of the station. There are 3 different segments in total, each based on a diꦛfferent topic and featuring a different panel of guests.
3 Flash FM
Flash FM is similar to Wave, playing pop and new wave from the time. Whichever playlist is better all depends on the person, but both are💮 interchangeable.
We definitely love Toni as the host, though. Grand Theft Auto 3 fans will also recognize her as♛ the DJ of Flashback FM, a station in Liberty City that plays the licensed soundtrack from Scarface🍰.
2 VROCK
Lazlow Jones is a constant throughout the games, though he only shows up as a character in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:story mode in GTA 5. In Vice🍷 City, he hosts the VROCK station, which plays hard r🐬ock and heavy metal from the era.
He isn't the washed-out loser he would become in future games. In addition to the recognizable voice, the playlist is simply incredible. It even features a song from Love Fist, the fictional band prominently featured in the campaign.
