Personally i love listen to the radio, but the thing that bothers me is the the lack of popular songs. For example there were a few in GTA IV but not a mainstream radio station with songs from Micheal Jackson, Stevie Wonder and other popular artists.
Also it was very rare in GTA IV and San Andreas to play the game once and not hear the same song. Personally i listen to Radio x and Liberty Rock Radio and the amount of times i heard 'Personal Jesus' by Depeche mode and 'Run to the Hills' by Iron Maiden was f*cking stupid.

I'd also like to see better hosts for the radio stations. Like Axl Rose, he was f*cking awesome on K-DST in SA but they didn't really have anybody like that in GTA IV execpt Iggy Pop... Yeah.

For me they need to improve the radio, after a few plays you could tell what the DJ was going to say next and that sort of annoys me.

I would also like to see a iTunes type thing involved in GTA V. Maybe you could buy songs on your iPod and listen to it when ever you wanted to.

I'm sure im not the only person who thinks they need to improve it... am i?

I love listening to the radio in IV and IV: TBOGT. There may not be too many well known songs on the radio there, but the music that does play on the radio is great for setting a mood if you want to go around and just kill people to kill people, or anything really.

I would, however, like to see some more popular music in GTA V. I just hope they keep dubstep out of the game, or put only one or two dubstep songs in. I can't stand that crap.

The GTA game that will always have the worst soundtrack is Liberty City Stories. How they could have cheapened out so much as to not even include some Aerosmith is beyond me.

Dubstep isn't a music genre. It's a noise. Like follow through.

I enjoyed the radio stations more in III-Era than in IV because they were funnier and entertaining.. in IV I just couldn't bear listening to those guys and just put Electro Shock and San Juan Sounds

[tombstone5860]

MSX 98, Flashback, Double Cleff are same awesome.
K-Jah, Rise aare different but still good.
Del Mundo is great.

The only let down are Head, Lips and rap station but still they're OK.

A agree 100%. After recently playing san andreas i could remember everything axle said. and the songs became repetative too it seems. seems like there are 5 songs when there are really 17. but we need more, like maybe 30songs a station, i'm sure rockstar could do this. i can pick 30 80's songs easy, its just a matter of finding songs everyone likes i think. that's why it is a little more difficult finding a lot of them for each station?

Personally, they should just let us play out music in the background like they did in RDR. Obviously you always can on Xbox and PC, but on PS3 you're stuck with their music.

They need to allow us to play our own music in the game again.

I wanna load up a radio from the Internet on my PS3 at least. I found a sick Metallica 24/7 radio I can only load up on PC's Media Player Classic.

[damian001]

Of course radio is important. I feel that's one of the reasons VC and SA are the best.

[MattGTA101]

I want a radio station were they play Justin Bieber, Kesha, Lady gaga, One Direction ect...
But they would make fun of these artists.
Summary, a pop radio station that parody's todays Top 40 pop stations.

Its all well and good saying that you can pick 30 songs of a certain genre, but R* take time to pick songs that suit the setting perfectly. After all, quality is more important than quantity.

Also, I fail to see how so many people complain about radio stations in IV lacking mainstream or well known acts. Since when have the likes of the Rolling Stones, Kanye West, Ne-Yo and Phillip Glass been unheard of. As far as I'm concerned, IV's radio was excellent. The blend of lesser known tracks by famous acts was perfect and I hope for the same in V.

I think he means just a station to mock how terrible the music is.

More big names might be good, but many GTAs have been great because they bring lesser-known music to people's attention. But the all-hits radio of VC was by far the best, so IDK. And more songs are always better.

Some more memorable radio hosts (Tommy 'The Nightmare' Smith and Mary Beth Maebell come to mind) and funnier talk radio back from Chatterbox, VCPR and K-Chat would be cool.

GTA radio is indeed very important. TvTropes even has an article about, its so important.

I don't really care about the radio. Just as long as it fits the setting in the game, that's all that matters to me. Besides, I like to pay attention to the game, not get distracted by a song.

[cowabunga]

I want a customized radio station, not just on PC but also on PS3 and 360. You could listen to music that you have on your console

Exactly, and you have hideous little 12 year old girls calling in and asking to play some pop song...

[AirWolf856]

I love the radio especially Independence FM (the make your own MP3 station). I would like one change. In single player (after you played through the story once) and in multiplayer, you should be allowed to set a default station no matter what vehicle you get in.

[Input]

The only radio I ever liked was the III era (Excluding San Andreas) but at this point in time music is so terrible, I know that GTA V will have some real sh*tty music in it being that it incorporates today's "Top 40" list . But of course, like every other GTA game it's 50 to 50 of good and bad. So, there will be the great ones, but still some real awful sh*t ones.
