More good 80's pop songs, only this time with one comon thing. Love. Many more great tunes from great artists like Toto, Foreigner, and Mr. Mister, and a great selection of songs from these groups. I only wish they would have got the Miami Vice theme by Jan Hammer instead of Crockett's Theme.

Exactly what you're looking for if you're even looking at this page. Great 80's songs, not super cheezy one's either (for the most part :) ) I've played this game so much, and this is the radio staion I end up always switching to. So many great songs, everyone has their favorites. I don't really understand the previous complaints about using Crockett's theme instead of the Miami Vice theme - Crockett's them is a much better song and besides, you never really hear the Miami Vice theme during the show, besides the beginning; whereas Crockett's theme is used alot during the show itself. One of the best experiences - It's night time and you are flooring it in your white Testarossa, there's a full moon out and you switch to Emotion to hear Crockett's theme. Wow, priceless. Screaming down the streets at night with minimal traffic listening to the song that was used the most during these shots in the show itself. Great game, great album. If you don't like 80's music, why are you reading this? If you do, buy this album. Comparable to any 80's compilation you'll find out there, probably better than.

Ok..Ok...I shall say that I dont own this album, But I've heard the majority of this album from the game and how should i say this, There are some pretty good songs, songs that ARE THE 80'S AND WHAT MAKES THE 80'S HAVE SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC EVER!!, Toto's Africa is a relaxing song that well describes Africa to you, a classic from Toto, Then Missing you by John Waite, A song that still gets airplay on alot of stations and remains as one of the breakup songs of the decade. I just love Cutting Crew's Just Died In Your Arms Tonight, it's been my favorite for years. Another Favorite of mine is Broken Wings by Mister Mister, Just thinking of that song reminds you of the beginning of the Game *where Sonny is talking about sending Tommy to Vice City to get the drugs and do the dirty work* And there is Foreigner with........a great song Waiting for a Girl like you, it's more better than saying i like I wanna know what love is. Crockette's Theme is good but they should've done the theme for Miami Vice instead. The rest of the tracks on their are real good, Sister Christian's Night Ranger *the song drunk guys party to in the 80's* and of course REO Speedwagon's Keep on Loving You which another great tune from them. This is a really great cd if you are happen to love the 80's and Vice City at the same time.

Yes, after listening this CD, you will want to move to Shady Acres.

Listen to me! This CD totally rules. Not only will you be treated to some cool 80's songs (listen to Crockett's theme while riding a motorbike in GTA:VC, super cool!!!), but Fernando totally rules! Now, everyone will probably have an issue with one or two songs (I think there should have been more instrumentals, like Top Gun Anthem perhaps???), but in general this soundtrack represents everything that 80's was. And if you don't have 80's CD's, this is a good place to start.

I bought GTA:Vice City and expected to hear a lot of bad 80's music on the radio. However, this compilation of emotional music, put together by DJ Fernando was appealing to me. This is a good album to listen to anytime because since all the songs are good you dont have to skip tracks. All of the songs are hits, just some are better than others. My favorite tracks are:

Africa - Toto
Tempted - Squeeze
Keep on Loving You - REO Speedwagon
Sister Christian - Night Ranger
Never Too Much - Luther Vandross

If you like the station on the game, this is the album for you.

This station was always my favourite in Vice City. Every track is great 80's music. Definitely the best CD in the collection.

Emotion's one of my favorite stations from GTA Vice City, and Fernando is hilarious! But the choice of 1 or 2 songs for the soundtrack irritate me a little... Where did they dig up "Wow"? I cringed when I first heard it! I'm not too crazy about "Sister Christian," but it was pretty popular back in the days (wouldn't know, cuz I was way too into "Jem" at the time) :) Wonder why Journey or Duran Duran wasn't chosen?

I first heard these tracks when I played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I wasn't a fan, but they grew on me. These are fantastic songs and really spice up drives with the ladies! I'm telling you this album is perfect for any date to avoid those long silent drives on your first date.
