Every Grand Theft Auto soundtrack ranked from worst to best

A collage of Grand Theft Auto loading screens.

Even if you haven't been one of the millions of people glued to their keyboards for the last few years for so much as a sniff of an update on the most highly anticipated video game sequel ever, chances are, you're aware that the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 finally landed earlier this week. Returning to the iconic Vice City, the 90 second clip shows off a dizzying array of locations (some familiar, some less so) and colourful characters. Attention was also brought to the choice of song to soundtrack this most momentous of occasions, with Rockstar opting to use Tom Petty's 1989 track Love Is A Long Road.

Petty's powerful, broken-hearted outlaw anthem has proved an inspired choice, but perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised: GTA has a long history of absolutely smashing it when it comes to its soundtracks, with rock, metal, hip hop, pop, dance and even classical all richly represented at various points throughout the series. In that spirit, ranking every main entry Grand Theft Auto soundtrack from worst to best seems a nigh-on impossible task. But you know what? We're gonna try and do it anyway.
