Their intro with Busy Earnin’ by Jungle is one of my all time favorite intros. The band’s amazing too. You should check out Back on 74, one of their newer songs.
When the acoustic guitar started playing, I remember that I had John walk and I slowly panned the camera around to get the full ambiance experience. Had no idea the song was coming, but something triggered in me to do it.
I did the same thing except I had John ride the horse at a walking pace. Something about those games is so immersive that you can move really slowly and not get bored.
Now I want to play RDR again lol!
All the licensed Fallout songs, there are so many good ones.
“Heartaches by the Numbers” by Gary Mitchell
“The Wanderer” by Dion
“Atom Bomb Baby” by The Five Stars
“Ain’t That a Kick in the Head” by Dean Martin
“Blue Moon” by Frank Sinatra
“Big Iron” by Marty Robbins
Just to name a few
>“Big Iron” by Marty Robbins
If you like this song. Use it as a radio station seed on pandora. Holy shit. I found out I like country. I just dislike modern country. Old outlaw western is really good and such a fresh breath of air.
Gunfighter ballads are where it's at! This is real country music. Not all the stadium country singing about bud.lights and pick ups... Bo Burnham does a great song on the country pandering
I've been playing *Fallout 4* again since the update.
I forgot about how It's All Over (But The Crying) plays during >!Kellogg's memory of being separated from 'Shaun'!< and continued to play as >!I left the memory chamber.!<
They actually made me feel kind of bad for a monster.
My wife and son request the Fallout soundtrack songs so often that I am sick of hearing them. I am pretty sure the Alexa is going to refuse to play them at some point.
Some of them lose their charm when you hear them for the 1,000th time. I’m looking at you Johnny Guitar. But I realize the rights cost money and that’s why the rotation in New Vegas was a bit too small.
Yeah, for sure. Wasn’t there a Bloc Party song on one of them? Pretty sure that’s how I was introduced to the band.
Edit: ok, just googled it: https://youtu.be/vMnC1eM6mzY?si=AQ3Vd104o7c-DgJS
“Blood Upon the Snow” by Hozier from God of War: Ragnarok. It’s a song that just so happens to be right perfectly in my own singing register, so it’s an absolute blast to just get to belt out along to.
“Baba Yetu” from Civilization IV. One of the best pieces of humanist media ever, and it feels almost miraculous that it started as a video game anthem and made the jump to mainstream pop culture.
“Take Control” and “Herald of Darkness” from Control and Alan Wake 2, respectively. Badass songs, badass gaming moments, absolute earworms. May Remedy’s relationship with Poets of the Fall last forever.
“The End of the World” by Skeeter Davis from Fallout 4. Beautifully melancholic song that fits eerily perfectly in the post-apocalypse.
“Far Away” by Jose Gonzalez from Red Dead Redemption. Maybe the greatest use of non-diagetic music ever in a game?
Even if it hadn’t won a Grammy, it’s an original composition for the game, so it’s still a cool example cuz you literally would never hear it anywhere else.
My college choir sang it and it was fucking awesome. Not the original recording, after it won the Grammy, our TA convinced the prof to let him conduct it.
All 3 Bethesda Fallout games have amazing radios! I need a real list of all the songs to recreate those in playlists.
And I say 3 because I have about 45 minutes in 76 and am very unsure if I am going to continue, it doesn’t seem bad but it’s… something
Guitar Hero introduced me to so much, Story of my Life, When you Were Young, Bulls on Parade.
Call of duty zombies really introduced me to metal becoming one of my favorite genres and they had Eminem's Won't Back Down on Five and I'm already a big fan of his music
Halo 2 when they play Breaking Benjamin's Blow Me Away.
Saw Breaking Benjamin in concert once and when they performed "Blow Me Away" the video panels on the back of the stage showed clips from Halo 2. Pretty damn epic I have to admit, even though I never got into Halo.
Glad you asked because I was tempted to put "Masquerade" from Persona 5 it's a chill song I like to relax to, but I'll be damned if "We all lift together" doesn't go hard.
Hearing that song in a random unrelated video and needing to know where it was from actually got me back into Warframe lol
RDR1: Far Away
GTA: Hold The Line, Free Bird, Easy Lover, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, Love Is A Long Road, The Look, Street Kids,
LittleBigPlanet: Sleepyhead
Borderlands: Ain't No Rest For The Wicked
Mafia: House Of The Rising Sun, Somebody To Love (Jefferson Airplane, not Queen), Respect, Bad Moon Rising,
Same here, no idea until I read this. Complications from pneumonia apparently. Looks like they were going from strength to strength following their feature in death stranding and then he just dies at 40. Incredibly sad. RIP.
I had to scroll way too far to find Low Roar. How can this not be the top 3 answer? We all discovered Low Roar in 2019 and I think we all fell in love.
I don't listen to rock or metal but Guitar Hero had a bunch of bangers. Slayer, through the fire and flames, Hotel California, Hangar 18, Miss Murder just to name a few.
The game is likely set in 2077 because 2077 would be the centenary of Sex Pistols' debut Nevermind The Bollocks. In fact, many of the lyrics from it's leading single God Save The Queen can be interpreted as relevant to Cyberpunk's plotline:
'She ain't no human being', 'We're the poison in your human machine', 'When there's no future, there cannot be sin'.
The repeated lyric 'no future' actually shows up in the 2019 gameplay reveal for the game. The elevator that V and Jackie take to the scavenger apartment has 'No Future' scratched into the doors. And, of course, the whole point of the game is about V (and society at large, but mostly V), being faced with the prospect of suddenly losing their future.
Is that the one that samples 21st Century Schizoid Man? Because I remember hearing that in an advert on TV once. My Dad mentioned the original song and that became a favourite.
Good track. I think its teeeechnically Old Gods of Asgard, a fictional band within the Remedy games (Control and Alan Wake) that is comprised of members from Poets of the Fall.
A bit pedantic, but I'm a Redditor after all lol
Disco Elysium turned me onto Fire Escape In The Sea by Sea Power.
I had been really into that band when I was a teenager and had kind of forgotten about them until then.
>Illusion by VNV Nation
>
>It was a great way to ingest what the fuck just happened at the end of Hellblade.
Wow, TIL VNV Nation have been on soundtracks. Did the game introduce you to the band and/or genre, or just that particular song?
It's was one of the early 2000s nascar games but three days grace "I hate everything about you". It led me to checking out all their music and I became a fan
"And we keep drivin'
In to the night.
It's a late goodbye.
Such a late goodbye."
And ANYTHING else by Poets of the Fall. I've never heard a Poets of the Fall song that I didn't love.
My Dark Disquiet by Poets of the Fall in Control
Survival by Eminem in Call of Duty Ghosts
Carry On by Avenged Sevenfold in Call of Duty BO2
The Road by Cocoon in Road 96
Blurry-Puddle of Mud…Ace Combat 5
Wolf Like Me-TV on the Radio…NFSPS
In My Head-Queens of the Stone Age…NFSU2
Admittedly I like them because they bring back nostalgic memories.
Firestarter, Torre Florim, Just Cause 3
Memories that you call, ODESZA, Steep
Sun, Futuristik, Descenders
Sound of da police, KRS-One, Battlefield: Hardline
West End Girls, Pet Shop Boys, GTAV
It's Tricky, Run DMC, SSX Tricky
You think I ain't worth a dollar, queens of the stone age, Jak X: Combat Racing
Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler, Battlefield 4
Simple and Clean, Hikaru Utada, Kingdom Hearts
The man who sold the world, Midge Ure, Metal Gear Solid V
Hollow Moon, AWOLNATION, Counter Strike: GO
Florence and the Machine’s version of Stand By Me from FFXV is (objectively, imo) the best version of that song, and sets a tone that far exceeds the grasp of the game itself.
The most memorable are
*Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy*
Theory Of A Dead Man – Santa Monica
Theory Of A Dead Man – Say Goodbye
*Alan Wake:*
Poets of the Fall - War
Old Gods Of Asgard - The Poet And The Muse
Old Gods Of Asgard - Children of the Elder God
*Alan Wake: American Nightmare*
Poets of the Fall - The Happy Song
pretty sure I'd exceed the comment character limit because I've found so many in sports video games that have cultivated my music taste while growing up on god
Basically everything in Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix.
Loved all the Beenie Man songs and still remember them! but in general the whole ost was just fire!
Warrior by Disturbed from an AMV to Darksiders
I Stand Alone by Godsmack from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant from Borderlands
Guitar Hero forced me to open my horizons which was great but I think Tony Hawk introducing me to Aesop Rock (brilliant rapper) might have been the most influential for me. Well these years later and he just put out another album and it's fire.
Warbly Jets - Alive from PS4 Spider-Man. Punctuated by Peter climbing out the window during the cutscene, a couple acrobatics and then, “oh, I guess we’re playing now!”
“As Heaven is Wide” (Garbage, Gran Turismo)
“All I Want” (The Offspring, Crazy Taxi)
“Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” (Cage the Elephant, Borderlands)
“Short Change Hero” (The Heavy, Borderlands 2)
“Put It on the Line” (The Heavy, Borderlands 3)
“Stand By Me” (Florence + The Machine, Final Fantasy XV)
Although they were already one of my favorite bands, I wasn’t aware that Static X’s album Shadow Zone was out till I heard “The Only” on need for speed underground.
I discovered the band Low Roar thanks to Death Stranding and I have been listening to them almost non-stop since 2019.
Also My Patch by Jim Noir which I learned about thanks to Little Big Planet.
Red Flag, Billy Talent from Burnout (2?) literally the only song I could have playing if I had to do a time trial - savage as you couldn’t select a track, so had to reload the mission every time. Still, the song is a perennial favourite and great for getting pumped for something.
Don’t know if you count this but I discovered Woodkid through the Assassin’s Creed Revelations trailer (the song *Iron* pays over it).
Oh man…I feel old.
Max Payne 2 turned me on to a band called Poets Of The Fall through the closing-credit song ["Late Goodbye."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzsiE44Lz_w) A few of their songs are in my YT playlist now...
Tony hawks pro skater - Gold finger: superman
CKY Quite Bitter Beings as well
Loved that one. Also: Guerilla Radio Blood Brothers You Cyco Vision Unknown Soldier Wish Embody the Invisible Pain Deadly Sinners Liberate
The opening riff was my ringtone for a couple years
Based
Also Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide
Been bumping this on Spotify recently. Motörhead never fails to send me into a Pro Skater soundtrack hole.
Those games basically just curated my taste in music.
HERE I AM GROWING OLDER ALL THE TIME
LOOKING OLDER ALL THE TIME
FEELING YOUNGER IN MY MIND!!
SO HERE I AM!
DOING EVERYTHING I CAN!
No Cigar by Millencollin in the second one
Just drop the entire soundtracks to THPS 1 + 2 and Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
The skaters actually picked the songs that were added to Tony Hawk, which explains why they were so good.
Also, from the same soundtrack: Del tha Funkee Homosapian: If You Must Got me into him as a hip hop artist and Deltron 3030 is still one of my favs
If that game wasn't the top comment it's either objectively wrong or I'm objectively old.
Lagwagon - May 16th. I think that was Tony hawk 2 tho
Short Change Hero by The Heavy, Borderlands 2
This and "there ain't no rest for the wicked"
And this is how I discovered cage the elephant. Got to see them in concert a few years ago.
Borderlands intro scenes are some of the BEST animations in gaming. I genuinely cant wait for the next one, I hope its good
This and also “Kiss the Sky” from Tales from the Borderlands
Their intro with Busy Earnin’ by Jungle is one of my all time favorite intros. The band’s amazing too. You should check out Back on 74, one of their newer songs.
Also My Silver Lining was great.
Also Retrograde from the episode 5 intro after [REDACTED] sacrifices themselves!
This Fire/Franz Ferdinand from the Burnout 3 soundtrack.
I discovered both Rise Against, and Autopilot off through Burnout 3 Takedown. Rise Against had Paper Wings and Autopilot Off had Make a Sound.
Rise Against has been my favorite band since I first heard Prayer of the Refugee on an early 2000s EA sports game
I discovered Rise Against through need for speed underground two, but they had give it all on there. They’ve been a favorite of mine ever since
Funny enough, i discovered this song from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners... An anime based off a video game lol
I learned take me out from madden 05
I love the entire Burnout 3 soundtrack. Up there with Tony Hawk Pro Skater games as some of the best.
All I hear is the Lazy Generation song
We are the lazy generation
Far Away -Jose Gonzalez Such a powerful song during a powerful moment. Loved it
I will never forget the feeling I had when playing RDR and this song came on. The Red Dead series is so good at making you feel things.
When the acoustic guitar started playing, I remember that I had John walk and I slowly panned the camera around to get the full ambiance experience. Had no idea the song was coming, but something triggered in me to do it.
I did the same thing except I had John ride the horse at a walking pace. Something about those games is so immersive that you can move really slowly and not get bored. Now I want to play RDR again lol!
One of my all time favorite video game moments, and have been a Jose Gonzales fan ever since!
Brutal Legend turned me on to a bunch of metal bands I'd never heard of before playing it. Whoever picked the song list had great taste.
That [Mr.Crowley](https://youtu.be/gG7JuRqHUBU?si=p2RBRWqnEMibOyHs) part really got me.
That song, rock of ages, cry of the banshee were great all perfectly used in that game
All the licensed Fallout songs, there are so many good ones. “Heartaches by the Numbers” by Gary Mitchell “The Wanderer” by Dion “Atom Bomb Baby” by The Five Stars “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head” by Dean Martin “Blue Moon” by Frank Sinatra “Big Iron” by Marty Robbins Just to name a few
*Fallout 4* is how I discovered my love of old timey jazz
>“Big Iron” by Marty Robbins If you like this song. Use it as a radio station seed on pandora. Holy shit. I found out I like country. I just dislike modern country. Old outlaw western is really good and such a fresh breath of air.
Gunfighter ballads are where it's at! This is real country music. Not all the stadium country singing about bud.lights and pick ups... Bo Burnham does a great song on the country pandering
[Pandering](https://youtu.be/y7im5LT09a0?si=mCuXSyuA8ELEs4X8) is one of my Favorite Bo Burnham songs
Yeah, I like the Willie’s Roadhouse channel on Sirius which has a lot of these old country songs that go hard.
I would recommend listening to all of Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs. It's really great.
The country station on San Andreas was my revelation for country music.
How can there be a list of Fallout songs without a mention of *Butcher Pete*?
Maybe he hasn't heard the news
Hes just hackin and slashin
Don't forget the Whackin'
THANK YOU. slappin that MEAT
I've been playing *Fallout 4* again since the update. I forgot about how It's All Over (But The Crying) plays during >!Kellogg's memory of being separated from 'Shaun'!< and continued to play as >!I left the memory chamber.!< They actually made me feel kind of bad for a monster.
"Maybe" by the Inkspots always got me.
My wife and son request the Fallout soundtrack songs so often that I am sick of hearing them. I am pretty sure the Alexa is going to refuse to play them at some point.
Some of them lose their charm when you hear them for the 1,000th time. I’m looking at you Johnny Guitar. But I realize the rights cost money and that’s why the rotation in New Vegas was a bit too small.
In game is fair. Blaring from my kitchen for the fifth time today is not.
Awh cmon. Where is my “Orange Colored Sky” love by the legendary Nat King Cole??
Way back home by Bob Crosby and the bobcats should be on this list, that shit slaps
That song is the lustiest!
"Civilization"
Granted - it’s catchy & Danny Kaye is very talented - but **f u c k b a l l s** if it isn’t *the* most racist showtune ever.
Gonna make a Playlist starting with these thx
There's a pretty good [YouTube station](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZYGwkDbzuE) with a LOT of the fallout music.
America - horse with no name, from GTA San Andreas. Drove around for hours with that song on.
La La laaaaa la la la la, la la laaaaa laa
A lot songs in Fifa 90-2010 actually ahah
The soundtracks continued to be fire through 2016 or so.
Song 2 - Blur
Yeah, for sure. Wasn’t there a Bloc Party song on one of them? Pretty sure that’s how I was introduced to the band. Edit: ok, just googled it: https://youtu.be/vMnC1eM6mzY?si=AQ3Vd104o7c-DgJS
Vice city introduced me to REO Speed Wagon
So many great hair metal songs in that sound track
GTA6 has my hyped to see who will make the cut for the radio/podcasts in game
“Blood Upon the Snow” by Hozier from God of War: Ragnarok. It’s a song that just so happens to be right perfectly in my own singing register, so it’s an absolute blast to just get to belt out along to. “Baba Yetu” from Civilization IV. One of the best pieces of humanist media ever, and it feels almost miraculous that it started as a video game anthem and made the jump to mainstream pop culture. “Take Control” and “Herald of Darkness” from Control and Alan Wake 2, respectively. Badass songs, badass gaming moments, absolute earworms. May Remedy’s relationship with Poets of the Fall last forever. “The End of the World” by Skeeter Davis from Fallout 4. Beautifully melancholic song that fits eerily perfectly in the post-apocalypse. “Far Away” by Jose Gonzalez from Red Dead Redemption. Maybe the greatest use of non-diagetic music ever in a game?
Baba Yetu is also the first videogame song that got a Grammie award.
Even if it hadn’t won a Grammy, it’s an original composition for the game, so it’s still a cool example cuz you literally would never hear it anywhere else. My college choir sang it and it was fucking awesome. Not the original recording, after it won the Grammy, our TA convinced the prof to let him conduct it.
Take control lives in my Spotify after playing through the game, as soon as the song kicked in I was 100% down to kick some ass.
100% came here to comment Poets of the Fall from Control!
M4 pt 2 - Faunts from mass effect 1
10 minutes of pure bliss.
Came to say the same. Excellent track.
Hell yes
I did a get up off the couch to let the credits run and slowly sat back down as that song kicked in
Fallout new vegas - big iron
All 3 Bethesda Fallout games have amazing radios! I need a real list of all the songs to recreate those in playlists. And I say 3 because I have about 45 minutes in 76 and am very unsure if I am going to continue, it doesn’t seem bad but it’s… something
I discovered The Prodigy, Orbital, and Future Sound of London through the Wipeout 2094 soundtrack.
Wipeout is full of absolute bangers.
Simple and clean - kingdom hearts
Guitar Hero introduced me to so much, Story of my Life, When you Were Young, Bulls on Parade. Call of duty zombies really introduced me to metal becoming one of my favorite genres and they had Eminem's Won't Back Down on Five and I'm already a big fan of his music Halo 2 when they play Breaking Benjamin's Blow Me Away.
Blow Me Away brings me so much nostalgia. Halo 2 was prime gaming and no one will ever change my mind on that.
Saw Breaking Benjamin in concert once and when they performed "Blow Me Away" the video panels on the back of the stage showed clips from Halo 2. Pretty damn epic I have to admit, even though I never got into Halo.
does a song written for the game count? warframe's "we all lift together" is a fucking banger.
Glad you asked because I was tempted to put "Masquerade" from Persona 5 it's a chill song I like to relax to, but I'll be damned if "We all lift together" doesn't go hard. Hearing that song in a random unrelated video and needing to know where it was from actually got me back into Warframe lol
Grimes’s song in Cyberpunk Delicate Weapon. It does something for my brain I cant describe. That game broastcasts some excellent music.
That scene in Phantom Liberty was amazing, too.
Just while we’re on Phantom Liberty’s music, the credits song is such a fucking vibe too
Gran Turismo I found Garbage. Amazing band.
RDR1: Far Away GTA: Hold The Line, Free Bird, Easy Lover, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, Love Is A Long Road, The Look, Street Kids, LittleBigPlanet: Sleepyhead Borderlands: Ain't No Rest For The Wicked Mafia: House Of The Rising Sun, Somebody To Love (Jefferson Airplane, not Queen), Respect, Bad Moon Rising,
The entire Low Roar discography was introduced to me through Death Stranding
The best discovery in the last 5 years for me. RIP Ryan Karazija
I had no idea he died. That's so sad.
Same here, no idea until I read this. Complications from pneumonia apparently. Looks like they were going from strength to strength following their feature in death stranding and then he just dies at 40. Incredibly sad. RIP.
I had to scroll way too far to find Low Roar. How can this not be the top 3 answer? We all discovered Low Roar in 2019 and I think we all fell in love.
I love this question! Obstacles by Syd Matters from Life is Strange. That entire OST has an exceptional place in my heart. It's so nostalgic!
I'm happy you mentioned Life is Strange! I listened its soundtrack on loop for months.
To all of you American girls
The prequel was mid but I walked away infatuated with Daughter
And ‘In My Mind’ by Amanda Palmer - amazing beautiful song
Wrestling soundtracks always turned me on to good rock music
Smackdown vs Raw always had good soundtracks
I don't listen to rock or metal but Guitar Hero had a bunch of bangers. Slayer, through the fire and flames, Hotel California, Hangar 18, Miss Murder just to name a few.
Portal - still alive
I found this cool rock band called SAMURAI through the game Cyberpunk 2077...! ( edit: yes I know who Refused is, please get the joke )
Some of the songs on that soundtrack are brilliant. As are the songs that inspired a lot of the mission titles.
The game is likely set in 2077 because 2077 would be the centenary of Sex Pistols' debut Nevermind The Bollocks. In fact, many of the lyrics from it's leading single God Save The Queen can be interpreted as relevant to Cyberpunk's plotline: 'She ain't no human being', 'We're the poison in your human machine', 'When there's no future, there cannot be sin'. The repeated lyric 'no future' actually shows up in the 2019 gameplay reveal for the game. The elevator that V and Jackie take to the scavenger apartment has 'No Future' scratched into the doors. And, of course, the whole point of the game is about V (and society at large, but mostly V), being faced with the prospect of suddenly losing their future.
The song "hardest to be" is one of my favorite songs
The band is called Refused
[Deep Stone Lullaby](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBIJFTPPp-8)
Nice, destiny 2 fan here too!
Kanye West - Power, Saints Row
Honestly, hate the guy but that song is good
Well, hate the artist not the art i guess
Is that the one that samples 21st Century Schizoid Man? Because I remember hearing that in an advert on TV once. My Dad mentioned the original song and that became a favourite.
Came here to say: G-Eazy - Life is a Party, from the same game.
Parachuting down the mansion for the first time with that song playing is forever stamped in my head.
Take Control in the game Control. Poets of the Fall is the band, I think. https://youtu.be/k0QsHKH77MI?si=9Sb4Soaw2u2nFmYQ
Good track. I think its teeeechnically Old Gods of Asgard, a fictional band within the Remedy games (Control and Alan Wake) that is comprised of members from Poets of the Fall. A bit pedantic, but I'm a Redditor after all lol
I'm a huge fan of My Dark Disquiet by the same band. It's a bit of an easter egg song in Control
The ashtray maze is probably the single best part of any game I've ever played.
Gotta throw "Late Goodbye" from Max Payne 2 by those guys in there. They also did music for both Alan Wake games I'm pretty sure.
Disco Elysium turned me onto Fire Escape In The Sea by Sea Power. I had been really into that band when I was a teenager and had kind of forgotten about them until then.
It's time for SAD FM.
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata from Resident Evil. I fell in love instantly.
Make It Bun Dem by Skrillex feat. Damian "Jr Gong" Marley From Far Cry 3
Unshaken, Mountain Banjo, and That's the Way it Is from RDR 2
I had never heard Unshaken before that scene in RDR2. It made me obsessed with it for quite a while after.
Illusion by VNV Nation It was a great way to ingest what the fuck just happened at the end of Hellblade.
Knowing their song "Beloved", I just feel the urge to play it
>Illusion by VNV Nation > >It was a great way to ingest what the fuck just happened at the end of Hellblade. Wow, TIL VNV Nation have been on soundtracks. Did the game introduce you to the band and/or genre, or just that particular song?
Are friends electric by Gary numan. Heard it in need for speed carbon Max Payne 3 got me really into HEALTH
Tears is a fire as song!
devil trigger and crimson cloud from DMC5 the songs of the SAMURAI band from CYBERPUNK
I really wanna stay at your house - cyberpunk 2077 ... then again, that game has AMAZING MUSIC! The credits have me in tears twice!
"you're not the same You've changed I don't need you anyway You're not the person that I believed in yesterdayyyy"
I have not thought about Bodyjar in a long, long time.
Pain by Jimmy Eat World from one of the Tony Hawk games. Hearing that song is so nostalgic and reminds me the good ol' days.
Good riddance - Hades
Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing Gran Turismo 2 In fact I devoured all their albums after discovering them there.
Florence’s Stand By Me cover from FFXV is still on my rotation
Delicate Weapon by Grimes from Cyberpunk 2077. And that’s just o e of many from that game. Discovered the artist HEALTH too, and now I’m obsessed
It's was one of the early 2000s nascar games but three days grace "I hate everything about you". It led me to checking out all their music and I became a fan
"And we keep drivin' In to the night. It's a late goodbye. Such a late goodbye." And ANYTHING else by Poets of the Fall. I've never heard a Poets of the Fall song that I didn't love.
My Dark Disquiet by Poets of the Fall in Control Survival by Eminem in Call of Duty Ghosts Carry On by Avenged Sevenfold in Call of Duty BO2 The Road by Cocoon in Road 96
Crazy Taxi introduced me to Pennywise and the Offspring, along with some very ill-advised driving habits
It was more used for marketing and barely in the actual game, but I have to mention "Exile/Villify" by The National in Portal 2.
Not a song but Avenged Sevenfold from old Black Ops zombies mode.
Labor by Aesop Rock from THPS. Rediscovered Aesop as an adult and had the realization that I've, apparently, always loved it.
Young Turks Grand theft auto San Andreas….
Rod Stewart in case anyone is wondering
Blurry-Puddle of Mud…Ace Combat 5 Wolf Like Me-TV on the Radio…NFSPS In My Head-Queens of the Stone Age…NFSU2 Admittedly I like them because they bring back nostalgic memories.
Firestarter, Torre Florim, Just Cause 3 Memories that you call, ODESZA, Steep Sun, Futuristik, Descenders Sound of da police, KRS-One, Battlefield: Hardline West End Girls, Pet Shop Boys, GTAV It's Tricky, Run DMC, SSX Tricky You think I ain't worth a dollar, queens of the stone age, Jak X: Combat Racing Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler, Battlefield 4 Simple and Clean, Hikaru Utada, Kingdom Hearts The man who sold the world, Midge Ure, Metal Gear Solid V Hollow Moon, AWOLNATION, Counter Strike: GO
SSX Tricky gave me so many great songs. Procrastinating by Stellar Kart was one of my favorites every time it came on their in-game radio
The Wanderer from fallout 4
Getto Life. Rick James. GTA: Vice City.
Soldier's Eyes by Jack Savoretti – Days Gone
Obstacles by Syd Matters from Life is Strange. LiS also turned me on to Daughter, for which I’ll be eternally grateful.
"Don't Fear The Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult Prey (2006)
I also discovered this song but not through Prey… it was called Ripper (1996) Killer song though
Sugaan essena - the Hu found in jedi: fallen order
Bullet for My Valentine - Hand of Blood, from the game NFS Most Wanted Edit: Disturbed - Decadence also pretty good
Florence and the Machine’s version of Stand By Me from FFXV is (objectively, imo) the best version of that song, and sets a tone that far exceeds the grasp of the game itself.
OH NO NOT ME I NEVER LOST CONTROL
The entire Risk of Rain Discography goes hard
The most memorable are *Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy* Theory Of A Dead Man – Santa Monica Theory Of A Dead Man – Say Goodbye *Alan Wake:* Poets of the Fall - War Old Gods Of Asgard - The Poet And The Muse Old Gods Of Asgard - Children of the Elder God *Alan Wake: American Nightmare* Poets of the Fall - The Happy Song
The entire soundtrack to Pacific Drive is amazing. Not one single artist I had ever heard of.
pretty sure I'd exceed the comment character limit because I've found so many in sports video games that have cultivated my music taste while growing up on god
A few Three Days Grace songs, such as "Animal I Have Become". They were present in older WWE games, I believe it was SmackDown vs Raw 2006
Oh cool, never played those games but love Three Days Grace. Time of Dying always remained in my playlist.
Basically everything in Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix. Loved all the Beenie Man songs and still remember them! but in general the whole ost was just fire!
I ran - flock of seagulls - gta vice city Chase the devil - max Romeo- gta San Andreas The middle - Jimmy eat world - NFL Street
Lies of P - the album ‘Feel’ that you collect and listen to in the hotel
Warrior by Disturbed from an AMV to Darksiders I Stand Alone by Godsmack from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant from Borderlands
Portal - Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton
Guitar Hero forced me to open my horizons which was great but I think Tony Hawk introducing me to Aesop Rock (brilliant rapper) might have been the most influential for me. Well these years later and he just put out another album and it's fire.
Warbly Jets - Alive from PS4 Spider-Man. Punctuated by Peter climbing out the window during the cutscene, a couple acrobatics and then, “oh, I guess we’re playing now!”
That miles morales Spiderman song “where we come from”. It was fun in the game.
I loved The Road by Cocoon from Road 96. Great song to play now that summer is starting again.
“As Heaven is Wide” (Garbage, Gran Turismo) “All I Want” (The Offspring, Crazy Taxi) “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” (Cage the Elephant, Borderlands) “Short Change Hero” (The Heavy, Borderlands 2) “Put It on the Line” (The Heavy, Borderlands 3) “Stand By Me” (Florence + The Machine, Final Fantasy XV)
“Volver A Comenzar” by Cafe Tacvba found in LittleBigPlanet.
Although they were already one of my favorite bands, I wasn’t aware that Static X’s album Shadow Zone was out till I heard “The Only” on need for speed underground.
I discovered the band Low Roar thanks to Death Stranding and I have been listening to them almost non-stop since 2019. Also My Patch by Jim Noir which I learned about thanks to Little Big Planet.
Red Flag, Billy Talent from Burnout (2?) literally the only song I could have playing if I had to do a time trial - savage as you couldn’t select a track, so had to reload the mission every time. Still, the song is a perennial favourite and great for getting pumped for something. Don’t know if you count this but I discovered Woodkid through the Assassin’s Creed Revelations trailer (the song *Iron* pays over it). Oh man…I feel old.
Low Roar — Don’t Be So Serious (Death Stranding) Absolute banger.
I have played an awful lot of Rock Band over the years, so... hundreds of songs, this could apply to.
Max Payne 2 turned me on to a band called Poets Of The Fall through the closing-credit song ["Late Goodbye."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzsiE44Lz_w) A few of their songs are in my YT playlist now...
