The '''"rock" station''', ugh. Half of those songs I don't consider "rock". This is disappointing considering how amazing LRR from IV was. Listen Rockstar, "Edge of Seventeen" (from IV) by Stevie Nicks is, in my opinion, the perfect song ever used in a GTA game, however "I Can't Wait" is... what... is... it... it's not rock. I would've been content with any Fleetwood Mac song, or even Stand Back would've been okay. "Hollywood Nights", in the vein of "New York Groove" used in IV... of course this song had to be put in here. I don't like it. And of course another Bob Seger song is in the mix. I mean at least "Her Strut" (from IV) was awesome. "Baker Street".... okay. "Big Log"... okay, and I'm surprised R* was able to get a Robert Plant song for the game. "Dirty White Boy"... I remember seeing this song in a list of "best motorcycle riding songs" (when I was looking for Muffler FM tracks). It's an alright song. "Heartbeat"... no. "Higher Love"... meh. "I Don't Care Anymore"... strange addition, not too bad, for some reason this song was played on the local rock station today. I would've liked a Genesis song instead, though. Like I'm talking Peter Gabriel Genesis, you know what I'm sayin'. "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You"... no. "If You Leave Me Now"... I have mixed feelings for this song, it's a nice song to have, honestly a better Chicago song (and an actual rock song by the band) could've been used, but meh. Probably should've been on the pop station... maybe. "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)"... holy mother, we're talking about Kenny friggin' Loggins, here, you know... "Danger Zone" and "Footloose" Kenny Loggins. What the hell, Rockstar. "Lonely is the Night"... one of the better songs in the mix, good choice. Would've chosen "The Stroke" (too bad Eminem mutilated that song). "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake"... the song was used in the trailer, so of course it has to be in the station. But shiiiiit it's less than 2 minutes long, and Kenny's opening and closing speeches are within 20 seconds of each other! "Photograph"... I'm fed up with Def Leppard, especially this song. At least it wasn't "Love Bites" (which isn't actual rock), but if they were gonna put this band in here, then I would've liked a different one. "Radio Ga Ga"... I didn't like this song the first (and only) time I heard it. It's alright, but honestly................ "Rain" by The Cult.... when I first saw the list, I swear I had read "Fire Woman" by The Cult. Now obviously this meant that I wish "Fire Woman" was used instead, a much better song. "Rock'n Me"... I hate that opening riff. That's my only gripe. "Saturday Night's Alright".... I don't care for this song (honestly it's better than "Street Kids" from IV). "The Breakup Song"... meh. "Too Late For Goodbyes"...by Julian Lennon... what? It's all on our minds, everyone's thinking it. The only reason it's on here is cause of his daddy. "What a Fool Believes"... good. | The '''"rock" station''', ugh.

'''Pop station''': First of all, Rockstar claims they've never had a pop station before. Oh yeah, cause Lips from GTA3, | '''Pop station''': First of all, Rockstar claims they've never had a pop station before. Oh yeah, cause Lips from GTA3, CSR from SA, The Vibe and Vice City FM and to some extent The Beat from IV, and um what else... oh yeah the entirety of Vice City weren't pop stations at all. Alright, onto the selections... "Adult Education"... meh, for some reason Hall and Oates feels so out of place in here. I would've liked "Maneater", however it was already used in BOGT. "The New Anthem"... nothing special. "Don't Wanna Fall in Love"... nothing special. "Everything She Wants"... nothing special. "Gimme More"... to me, it's an alright song. To this station, it's a perfect addition. "Glamorous"... the most perfectly-used song in the game, in other words the best song that was chosen for this game, I shit you not. "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)"... I forgot how this song goes, which is probably an indicator that it shouldn't have been used. "Music Sounds Better with You"... same as the last one. "1 Thing"... if I remember how it goes, then it's an alright song. "Only Girl in the World"... I do not like Rihanna's post-2009 works, however this is one of the exceptions. I'm glad they used this one instead of any of her other modern crap. "Pure Shores"... I keep mentally blocking out this song when listening to it. "The Rhythm of the Night"... nothing special. "Scandalous"... good. "West End Girls"... the second greatest song put in the game. This honestly wouldn't be out of place on the rock station, though, which shows how pop-oriented Los Santos Rock Radio really is. "With Every Heartbeat"... forgot how it goes. "Work"... I love Kelly Rowland. Good choice, or is this just bias? | ||
'''Radio Los Santos'''... wow, this station was amazing in San Andreas (I think it's cool to see the evolution it went through). I am, however, not a fan of this modern rap fad. I hate the modern style of rapping, and how it seems like every single modern rapper has to rap that way. So I'm just gonna leave this station alone. I do like the chorus of "Hood Gone Love It". | '''Radio Los Santos'''... wow, this station was amazing in San Andreas (I think it's cool to see the evolution it went through).

'''Worldwide FM''': Yet ANOTHER electronica station, well it does play some world music, but damn all this electronica and no artists that I actually know of?
