That was the SF-UR station in San Andreas

SF-UR

San Fierro Underground Radio (SF-UR) is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which plays house music. It is hosted by the German house-music enthusiast Hans Oberlander (voiced by Lloyd Floyd). SF-UR takes the identity of an underground radio, and as such it was probably meant...

German yodeling.

 

[DeepEnigma]

yeah Metal seems the big one, and although this is probably more obscure, i don't think they ever had a classical music station either in any gta

Classical used to be in it.

Double Clef FM

There's none of that modern rubbish on Double Clef FM, where the songs have words.Slogan in GTA III Double Clef FM (incorrectly spelled Cleff in GTA III) is a radio station featured in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories that plays classical music. The station...

German yodeling.

He said actual music.

 

[nowhat]

He said actually music.

Arguably, but he also said underrepresented, which it is.

For a good reason i would say

Hey come on now. Who wouldn't want to cruise around in a decent ride while listening to this:

 

[Fermbiz]

I dont care if its not underrepresented, I want more Lazlow. I want a station dedicated to Lazlow. Not a little radio segment with him in it like they did in GTA5. I'm replaying GTA4 right now and I'm dying of laughter from his radio station Integrity 2.0.

Hell Yeah, Westcoast.

[Tiamat2san]

Metal I guess. Since it's not on your list

The only Time we had some good metal tracks was in the biker’s DLC in GTA IV.
Max cavalera as the radio host was really cool.

I Hope there will be some good extreme metal songs in GTA VI (Black/death/thrah metal, death/grind/hard core) and a classic station (heavy metal , punk, hard rock)

Anselmo, Benton, Jasta as Hosts would be perfect.

One can dream…

 

[Moses85]

German Volksmusik

 

[Mobilemofo]

Drill. And that's probably a good thing.

Would like some jazz tho..

 

[Mobilemofo]

Uk Drill, hope that its all over GTA6 you mandem are going to love it.

No. Retard drill should not be anywhere near music. It's atrocious.

 

[YCoCg]

For people saying Classical hasn't appeared since GTA3 clearly didn't play Liberty City Stories, the PSP game as the station returned in that too with some unique choices

Would like some jazz tho..

JNR in GTA IV was great for this

 

[Genesis Knight]

Were SimCopter / Streets of SimCity by Maxis the first games with an in-game radio station? They came out in 1996 / 1997, predating GTA III by several years, and had a variety of music stations (classical, bluegrass, techno, metal) with pretty hilarious fake commercials between tracks.

I don't know of an earlier game that had the feature, LMK if you can think of one.

No idea if Rockstar was inspired by this or just came up with the same idea separately.

 

[Dacvak]

Classical jazz, avant garde jazz, bebop, just lots of jazz sub-genres.

I like jazz. I’d like there to be more.

 

[Dr Cowley]

Anselmo, Benton, Jasta as Hosts would be perfect.

One can dream…

I would pay good money to hear Phil Anselmo as a host if he spent all the time shitting on the Blair witch project and explaining why cannibal holocaust is infinitely better

 

[MMaRsu]

Reagaton or twerking

Gta iv has an entire reggae station.

 

[envyzeal]

Brazilian Funk

 

[Putonahappyface]

Celtic music.

 

[Alebrije]

Industrial

Front Line Assembly
Front 242
Skinny Puppy

Even dance industrial like

Funker Vogh
Icon of Coil
KMFD

That music would be great on some chase missions...

 

[The Fartist]

Gta iv has an entire reggae station.

Reggaeton is a Caribbean Latino bastardization of Reggae—not that I'm into Reggae, because I'm not at all. I’m indifferent to it, though I do enjoy some Dub every now and then. But yeah, Reggaeton is just trash. I will say, though, I will listen to it ironically in GTA VI. It’s kind of like how I’d listen to Britney Spears on IV while mowing down pedestrians and cops—it just felt right. I can guarantee that there will be a dedicated Reggaeton station in GTA VI, I will even change my avatar to whatever you like for a month if there isn't.

This is the more mellow kind House music. It's not quite the same as early 90's techno/rave. The later is more energetic and has weirder, more industrial sounding samples.

Check my examples on my previous post.

 

[Idleyes]

Bardcore. Hands down. Nearly any genre can be transformed into Bardcore, making it a perfect fit. Since GTA’s music selection typically reflects what would realistically be on the radio in its setting, adding a station that reimagines modern hits with medieval instruments would be hilarious.

 

[DAHGAMING]

No. Retard drill should not be anywhere near music. It's atrocious.

Its real music bruv, hopefully we get some Grime and old school UK Garage aswell

 

[Trilobit]

90's indiepop.

I'm not against some garage/house/jungle.

 

[Randall365]

Trip Hop

I reckon it would be sweet driving round Miami listening to a bit of Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky.

Maybe some Cibo Matto and Sneaker Pimps.

Does Dubstar count? Chuck that in too!

Just for example, burning rubber away from a scene of horror to the last couple of minutes of this:

but, it has no place in a game set in fictional Miami, it would be so out of place.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Acid Folk.

Prog!

 

[Diddy X]

It better have more than one latin station this time, it's Miami

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

French songs!

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Death metal

 

[kevboard]

Reagaton

mhhh.... I suggested European Metal... but why bot both!

 

[Rush2112]

classic rock (80s and 70s): no eagles, journey, blue oyster cult, rush, zepplein, ac.dc, pink floyd, etc..

all they know is hood music

Metal.
the most we got is some very mainstream stuff in Vice City. but in San Andreas there was less, and then in 4 and 5 it was almost gone as a genre.

I would love an actual metal radio station with some song picks that aren't just nostalgic Iron Maiden or Hair Metal songs.
best case would be a radio station specifically focused on modern European Metal like Blind Guardian, Sleep Token, Sabaton, Jinjer, Orden Ogan, Dimmu Borgir, Wintersun, Cypecore... stuff like that. I bet it would also be cheaper than just licensing another Iron Maiden song, or another big mainstream hit from 20 years ago. and since Rockstar seems to be unfathomably stingy when it comes to renewing licenses, that would also be in their interest.

The Lost and the Damned DLC had LCHC (Liberty City Hardcore) hosted by Max Cavalera, and it fucking ruled.

That has nothing to do with culture, you want German Yodeling in a GTA Game?
Do you know how retarded that sounds? Probably not.
Oh and i'm not a swine.

...have you checked out GTA radio stations before? Some of those bands you've listed have actually appeared before.

I see, lol. Could have told my earlier.
