After a year of giving up on life I’ve finally finished GTA IV and all the story packs – The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned. Characters like Niko Bellic, Luis Lopez, Little Jacob and Gay Tony have provided me with SO SO SO SO much fun.

I didn’t play games for a least a decade before I got GTA IV and to be honest I don’t really have much desire to play anything else. Maybe it’s the drug deals, the twitter pastiche, Porsches, and the coked up Brits dancing to a Paul Oakenfold piss take. It’s just a big lol.

Anyway, the game has some of the best music ever. Here are my favourite three tracks. I had to ditch Buju Banton, Cerrone, Marley Marl, DJ Khaled, Liquid Liquid and Fleetwood Mac.

Machine – There But For The Grace Of God

Skatt Brothers – Walk The Night

Hello – New York Groove

I think Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac get a really bad press. My friend Pickles is the band’s biggest fan but even she can’t deal with with the old blues material. I’m not so sure if that’s fair. OK, you probably can’t play Albatross and Man Of The World on Friday night at Catch but they’re still pretty good.

What do you prefer?

Late 60s

Late 80s

BTW My Dad almost killed Peter Green when he came out of a gig and ran into on coming traffic in 1968.
