My Dream Grand Theft Auto VI Soundtrack: Part II (First Two Stations)

In the first part of this blog series, I highlighted the ground rules for how I selected the songs to be this project, and I also discussed what categories of songs and what specific radio stations I would cover regarding the game.  As previously stated, here are the radio stations in the game I’ve created playlists for: Wildstyle (80’s rap and electro); Fever 105 (upbeat R&B, Funk, Disco, and New Jack Swing); V-Rock (standard 80’s rock/classic rock artists);  Emotion 98.3 (Soft Rock, Yacht Rock, and Adult Contemporary); Flash FM (New Wave, Synth-Pop, Pop); and two brand new stations:  V-H Rock (Hard Rock and Metal); and Alt-103 (Alternative/Indie/Punk Rock/Post-Punk).

For today’s edition, we’re gonna cover V-Rock and Wildstyle.  That’s right we’re gonna cover 80’s rock (or modern-day classic rock radio acts) and 80’s rap/electro.  Each song listing includes a YouTube link, so you can check out the song if you’d like to.  So without further ado,  let’s kick off with the playlist for V-Rock!
