Countryside - K Rose; Whitey Shafer, Eddie Rabbit, Statler Brothers, Wille Nelson, etc.

San Fierro - I went for Radio X whilst I was here, just because I wasn't a big house music fan, so neglected SFUR.
Radio X; Helmet, Depeche Mode, Primal Scream, Living Colour, L7, Ozzy Osbourne.

Desert - K-DST; Rod Stewart, America, Heart, Billy Idol, Toto, etc.

Las Venturas - CSR 103.9; Bobby Brown, Boys II Men, Today, En Vougue, Samuel, etc.

Anybody else lol?
Most definitely. Loved doing this, they had radio stations that so perfectly fitted the different areas of the game.

Anyways I definitely enjoyed some of the less known (made specifically for the game, I think) music used in GTA III, especially the rap station.

Vice City's radio captured the setting of the game perfectly.

San Andreas easily had the most varied (and overall best) radio stations.

And GTA IV kinda sucked for the most part (like the game). Except 1979, cause Smashing Pumpkins rule.

Lazlow was hilarious in all the GTA's though

I've never been divorced... just frequently widowed." I'm looking through the soundtrack now & I don't remember Alice In Chains being played on Radio X. I haven't played the game in about 5 years coz my disc broke but the stand out tracks for me were "Free Bird" & "Today Was A Good Day" ... and the whole of K-Rose. Dayuum I miss that game, I'm gonna buy it when I next have money.
I believe the AIC song was Them Bones, not 100% though
