Best songs on the GTA: San Andreas soundtrack...

Rod Stewart - Young Turks
Danzig - Mother
Gap Band - You Dropped A Bomb On Me
Eric B & Rakim - I Know You Got Soul
Too $hort - The Ghetto
Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn - Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man
Ed Bruce - Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Quite definitely the best computer game soundtrack of all time, although FIFA 2007 has some pretty awesome tunes too!

why on earth are any of those songs on the soundtrack? esp. 'Pacific' - it just seems weird (but then i do not understand GTA thangs)

The point about GTA games is that you spend a large amount of game time driving around. In San Andreas, the latest version of the game, you had the choice of about 12 or 14 different radio stations. Each radio station essentially had one CD's worth of music playing on rotation, and as you drive around, you can channel hop. I generally preferred the classic rock station (K-DST) for long motorway driving, the country and western station (K-ROSE) when I was in rural areas, and the hip-hop station (Radio Los Santos) if I was going to shoot up some gang members!

More info on the soundtrack on the Wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas_soundtrack).
