We used to just leave a vehicle parked somewhere while we made dinner or did other stuff and let the radio play!
People sometimes would stop by and realize, after a bit of convo, they were hearing something and be baffled as to what the hell we were listening too.
My friends and I would do the same thing. When we got tired of playing, but wanted to keep listening to the music or talk shows.
The talk radio was the best! I was not a fan of most talk radio past morning shows but I loved all of the GTA ones. Somehow it made more sense listening to their off the wall shit than the real talk radio stations.
I used to love listening to Chatterbox on GTA 3. Lazlo and the Hispanic guy used to make me laugh like crazy, and now I listen to NPR and podcasts so I guess I eventually learned to like talk radio.
I had a software that ripped gta music and ads and shuffled them so you can burn a cd to play in your car with the same in game radio.
Loved cruising around with k-rose on from San Andreas. The ads kill me every time.
I wonder how long it would take for a passenger in the car to figure out it's not real radio...
Vice city's sound track was my soundtrack to life for a long while. It really made me appreciate 80s music.
Also chatterbox from gta3 was so good. I loved Laslow.
When Vice City came out Rockstar also released a box set CD compilation of the radio stations from the game. To this day I firmly believe it is the best '80s compilation to ever be released.
It made me nostalgic for 80s music. I think it exposed a generation of kids to it that may not have heard it otherwise.
The talk radio is for sure. Dr. Ray De Angelo Harris aka JB Smoove.
Hit me with the stick!
My name's Lazlow and you're on Chatterbox! Thanks for calling in.

I'm a first time caller. I wanted to say something about these videogames, they are warping our kids minds. My sons dog, Bugle, got hit by a truck, and he says mommy, mommy, where's the reset button?
Have also been guilty of leaving the car parked and listening to the radio. Download the files from YouTube while they're hot :)

Los Santos Rock from GTAV with Kenny "Danger Zone" Loggins as the DJ is incredible.
Vice City made me appreciate 80s music at a young age. I really appreciate the thought that went into selecting abd producing the sound track. I have the full OST release on CD - not sure if it is a bootleg or not, I don't really care.
GTA radio is literally just songs that used to play on the RL radio 😂
The announcers and commercials are better in GTA, thus better than IRL
I can't change your mind, I agree right down to the "vice city was the best one," you're right.
It made me nostalgic for so many classics of the 70s/80s that I hadn't heard before playing it.
Funnily enough, I recently found out the drummer in my band's Dad had a song in Vice City!
Whoa! That's some serious dad points right there.
What's even funnier is I was looking through my dad's record collection and he has a single from my drummers dad's band! Small world
I would just drive around busting three wheel around the corners with my homies in the drop top just listening to the radio. That was more fun than the missions.

K-Rose!
If you use Pandora music you can enter Vice City as a radio station to play on it. You don’t get the talking stuff but it does play all the songs (and related 80s music).
VROCK and RADIO LOS SANTOS. Legendary stations.
Fucks talking about real estate and unrealistic expectations are my real radio. Awful compared to VC
Fallout 3 and 4 are my jams.
It's not a radio, it's a playlist. We have those everywhere.
It's not just the music, also the talk radio, the moderators, the news, the ads,...
GTA 3 radio got me into a few different sounds as a kid.
I see no lies. GTA always had such an iconic radio.
GTA IV wktt always cracks me up. Definitely helps Patrice O'Neal and fez whatley voiced some of the skits.
4's still my fave but need to go back and play San Andreas and vice city today to know for sure. Anyone played them recently? They hold up?
Chakra Attack!
No, I will not change your mind.

Literally had GTA radio playing on a trip
Radio Broker and Electro-Choc were ridiculously influential on my later music preferences.
Oglock, how are you?
