Grand Theft Auto 2 is my favorite GTA game, and is unique in the series because it is the only game set in "the future," a date implied by some of the promotional materials to be the year 2013, specifically around September. This was 14 years in the future when the game was released.
With this in mind, and because I was getting a bit bored of the game's own original soundtrack, I decided to attempt to recreate it while staying true to the genres of music played by the station in-game. I should note I went entirely by the Billboard charts (in this case specifically Mainstream Rock and I think Pop Songs?) from that period, so please don't judge my taste in music by this.
First up, Head Radio. This station is unique because it runs twice as long as all others. This is because it features two sets by two different DJs -- both are mainstream-leaning fare, with the first one closer to EDM while the second is more modern rock. See if you can spot the transition.
Setlist:
1. Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines
2. Zedd - Clarity (Muffoxx Edit)
3. Capital Cities - Safe and Sound
4. Rob Zombie - We're an American Band
5. Stone Temple Pilots - Out of Time
6. Pearl Jam - Mind Your Manners
7. Soundgarden - Halfway There
