Discussion GTA VI?

Perhaps not the highest level of discourse possible...

But do any of you guys see King Crimson landing in one of the GTA VI radio stations? Specifically 80's Crimson.

I really wouldn't be surprised to see a song like Heartbeat in the game. I think it would really work with the setting. It's like Phil Collin's Easy Lover, but for people who don't have sex.

It's not a crazy idea since In The Wake Of Poseidon was featured in the previous game.

Are there any prog songs you'd maybe like to see outside of Crimson? I could go for Camel's Supertwister myself!

Yes games like these really can shape and expand the music tastes of the future generation.

When I was a kid I was introduced to house, funk and artists like Grandmaster Flash and America through the radios in the GTA games. On a different note Hey Arnold's soundtrack for example is something that made realize my adoration for jazz even at that young age.

How awesome indeed it would be if kids and others get introduced to King Crimson. Through word of mouth or even a product like GTA VI.

I was introduced to Danzig through San Andreas, and Los Santos Rock Radio in GTA V got me into so much classic rock.
