The Unforgettable Music of GTA: San Andreas

It's worth remembering that San Andreas is one of the GTA series' defining games. If we tried to explain why San Andreas is such a great game, we'd never stop writing. In this article we're focusing on the game's music, bringing 2004 back for you in 2020! In particular, the track used on the game's title screen and mission-passed screen has transcended its time, popping up everywhere outside the game too — as an Instagram filter, as background music in meme videos — cementing itself in everyone's memory. Beyond that, most of the songs you hear on the radio when you get in a vehicle in-game are already classic, legendary tracks, and they've become tied to the game and stuck in a corner of our minds. Without further ado, here's the list of legendary tracks!
