06.06.16 | I think most of us have gotten into a band through a video game. Tony Hawk's games always had cool soundtracks, and when I got into metal I can't forget how good was the soundtrack of Brutal Legend. |

FIFA soundtracks used to have some good stuff. Got into Morrissey (and by extension the Smiths) when Irish Blood, English Heart was on the 05 soundtrack (I think) |
Sinternet
06.06.16 | also i'm not much of a fan of brostep-style dubstep but saints row 4 had that bomb ass Vindicate track so i checked a bit more of the genre and found some ok stuff in the end |

Tony Hawk's Underground, Refusal by Strike Anywhere |
aoz007
06.06.16 | "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" has perhaps the best video game soundtrack ever when it comes to licensed tracks. That being said, "Burnout 3: Takedown" got me into pop-punk bands. Actually, EA Trax (they're no longer existence) arranged plenty of great soundtracks for EA Sports games. |
