Top 10 GTA Songs

Yo, wazz upppppppp!?

So I have been tasked to come up with a list of my fave top 10 songs which have featured in GTA a la thanks to James Davie.

So I will be listing songs from all GTA's and my fave ones at that and explaining the meaning of them. Songs will be primarily featured from GTA VICE CITY, SAN ANDREAS & GTA 5. (Mainly these as they are my faves in the series) 

10: Whitey Shafer - All My Ex's Live In Texas - Toss up between this and I love a rainy night from GTA San Andreas really both songs always use to play whenever it rained funny enough and I loved the songs too. Song meaning is pretty obvious no? 

9: America - A Horse With No Name - The band said they wrote this while on tour in Europe and the singer was potching about with chords and then came up with lyrics and fantasied about the desert to escape from a rainy and depressing weather that they had while on tour in England. Another from San Andreas of course. 

8: The Bugles - Video Killed The Radio Star - Classic even before i played Vice same for a couple of the songs on the list i had heard prior to the game but you know ended up loving them more i guess? Long before TV, there were shows on the radio. Radio stars were like TV stars are today. The concept of the "Radio Star" actually existed well into the 50s. Video (TV) killed the Radio Star because as TV got more popular, there were fewer and fewer radio shows until there were none. 

7: Gary Numan - Cars - This is about how people use technology and material goods to isolate themselves from human contact so similar to how i played vice for hours inside my house rather than go outside and be social haha. 

6: Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died in Your Arms - What did i tell you so many classics here in this list! This is a song about a dude who got involved in a relationship for a quick bit of fun or on the heat of the moment. However, it has gotten deep and he must've told lies about himself and now he has gotten too far in. However, she must be a player of some sort 'cos she has broken hearts before and he is just a name on her list so to speak. 

Before we get to number 5 let's take a quick DANCE BREAK!

5: Bryan Adams - Run to You - It's about an affair that this guy is having with another woman. He knows it's wrong because his girlfriend looks after him, is good to him and loves him unconditionally, but he doesn't get the satisfaction from her and it's a good song. 

4: Kim Wilde - Kids In America - Utter guilty fave of mine not gonna lie well why should i feel guilty for liking it,  tis damn good. The song recognises the difficulties of adolescence, struggling with life, both physically and philosophically. Like a typically tough young punk rocker, she is ready for the challenge, she is tough, and she warns the world to get ready for them.

3:  Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) - Going a bit more modern now with this early 00s classic. The lyrics are about a guy who meets a girl at a disco. The words are very simple, which the group claims is because this was their first effort and neither of them are good at writing lyrics.

2: Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You - Late 90s classic which also featured in GTA not a lot to say about the meaning of it but i enjoyed driving through los santos with this playing.

1: Michael Jackson - Billie Jean - I'll be fully honest, Vice got me into Jacko. What a song! The song's lyrics refer to a real-life experience, in which a mentally ill female fan claimed that Jackson fathered one of her twins which is of course crazy but hey it gave us this iconic hit. 

Right oh, that's all i have for you today, stay shiny and don't commit GTA!
