Bands you've discovered because of game soundtracks

<< < (5/12) > >>

CursedMortivore:
David Bowie from GTA: Vice City. I listened to that one station that had mostly his songs on it all the time.

imapiratearg:
I got interested in Iggy Pop and The Stooges because "Search and Destroy" was on Guitar Hero II.  Other than that, I listened to a lot of the bands on the Burnout games when I was into crappy music.

Trynant:
I now listen to Buckethead and and Queens of the Stone Age thanks to the Guitar Hero series. I tried listening to Muse and Dragonforce also thanks to Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but didn't really enjoy them that much. I liked Jesper Kyd after playing MDK 2. A combination of playing Rock Band and reading this forum and the QC Music Blog got me interested in The New Pornographers.

So yeah, games made me like new music :D

Harun:
There were songs from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and David Bowie on Driver - Parallel Lines that I liked - despite not liking most of the stuff from both that I have previously heard.

also, a bit of a lol from me at all y'all who said they like songs from Guitar Hero. Although on a related note, when I first watched the "guitar queer-o" episode of Southpark when Stan's dad starting playing Carry On my Wayward Son, I totally wanted to learn how to play the song on a(n) (actual) guitar. That song is so awesomely fun to play btw - there's like 5 mini solos throughout the song.  :-o 8-)

Jackie Blue:
Freezepop.  I fucking love "Science Genius Girl" and now I wish I still owned a copy of freQuency, DAMN IT.
