Grand Theft Auto 3 let us live out all our sociopathic fantasies from the comfort of home. Even better,
each baseball bat beatdown, each adrenaline-filled run from the law in a bomb-laden car was accompanied by a
kick-ass soundtrack.
I loved the music from GTA3 and searched in vain for a CD soundtrack. I never found one, but tracked
down most of the music from other sources. So you don't have to spend a lot of time doing the same thing, I've compiled here
all the info I found on the music of Grand Theft Auto 3. Enjoy!
Flashback FM
I'm a child of the 80's, and I have to admit this was my favorite station. All the songs on this station were
culled from the Scarface movie soundtrack.
The Scarface movie soundtrack is available on Amazon.com. Buy It Now
GTA3 contains a few other references to the movie
Scarface as well. "You want the chainsaw, gringo?"
If you're interested, the Scarface DVD is available on Amazon.com, too. It's a great flick. Buy It Now
K-Jah
Call me a lamer, but I had never heard of the music style "dub" before I started playing Grand Theft Auto.
Lamer or not, I was schooled by Horace "the Pacifist" Walsh and have since picked up several
Scientist CDs.
If you're looking for the music tracks from GTA3, you want the album
Scientist Rids The World Of The Curse Of The Evil Vampires Buy It Now
MSX FM
These tracks have been a little bit harder to find. I was able to find albums by
Omni Trio and
Aquasky
that have tracks from the game, though. Remember, Rockstar's development is based in England,
so these CDs are imports.
"...rhyme till I can't rhyme no more ... burn till I can't burn no mo' ... I'm the King!"
Admit it, you sing along, too.

Head Radio and Lips Radio
If the song Change was a real single, I would buy it today. As far as I know though, the music on these two
stations is spoof pop and has never been released. If you know different, please please please
let me know.
BIG BIG BIG NEWS!
According to my Rockstar newsletter, all the music from the expansion/sequel Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be
compiled in a box set, available at the same time as the game is released! This makes putting together a site like this
for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City a whole lot easier :)
