Radio Broker - Grand Theft Auto IV - Part 17

As far as I know, only one song was written solely for the GTA IV radio stations. "Vagabond" by the Greenskeepers is quite possibly the most infamous track in the game since it's played in most of the commercials and previews.

Known for their song "Lotion", the Greenskeepers managed to capture every aspect of the GTA universe in a simple yet amazing song. "I came a long way to see you. Now I wish you were dead". If you're playing the game, those lines make perfect sense. The lyrics capture the angst, despair and anger of Niko Bellic perfectly. From the opening hand claps and the absolutely pounding bass, this track works anywhere, anytime as you try to survive on the streets of Liberty City.

I'm hard pressed to pick an absolute favorite song from Radio Broker, but this track is a contender.
