Was there any Games that made you discover your now favorite music artist/bands?

For me however, I say, back in the late 90's, (and now) there were some games that made me discover awesome Rock Bands & few Hip-Hop artist that I follow for there musics and if it wasn't for that certain game, I would never heard of these Bands or Hip-Hop artist. Anyways, these are the games that made me discover Bands & more.

• Crazy Taxi-Off-Spring: All I want
• Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2-Rage Against The Machine: Guerrilla Radio
• Grand Theft Auto-Stone Temple Pilots: Plush
• Grand Theft Auto-Living Colour: Cult of Personality
• Watch Dogs-Kid Cudi: Day & Nite
• Tony Hawk's Underground-Bad Religion: Big Bang

There's more but the one's I listed above are the one's I enjoy listening to my favorite music artist and if it wasn't for the developers to include Rock Bands Hip-Hop Artist, I may never heard of them, and it's all thanks to these great games as well.

So Gamers, are there any games that you found your favorite Rock Bands or Hip-Hop musics that you now follow?

@davillain-: Can't state that they're my favorite but I enjoy Hostile Groove and what they did to make DMC3 and 4 more badass, yet I only like those tunes while I'm playing the game because they make playing the game feel more intense.

For a more atmosphere feel I tend to think of composer Motoi Sakuraba sama, mostly known for his work with Bloodborne and the Soul games (which are simply amazing.) But I recommend looking into his Akumajo/ CastleVania tribute and works for Monster Hunter. The man is a national treasure.

Have always enjoyed the music for Onimusha and Resident Evil as well, but Samuragochi Mamoru san was exposed as a fraud a few years back, and noone knows who the true composer is even today.

To be honest I've enjoyed many more in games; but these are the ones that first come to mind. The fact that I enjoy more of the unnerving music must say something about myself though, haha_

i discovered "Foals" from "Life Is Strange"

Nope. I already listened to the music on the radio long before they appeared in games (or shows).

No so much the game itself but the trailer for assassins creed 3 led me to Imagine Dragons-Radioactive

FIFA obvs.

Crystal Fighters -Follow. What a tune.

A good amount of what I listen to I picked up in games. I loved the soundtrack in Life is Strange, despite having heard of none of the artists. I explored a bit of Foals, Bright Eyes, and Syd Matters and still listen to most of the songs from the soundtrack. The Fallout games, Mafia 2, and L.A. Noire got me listening to some oldies. I think one of the only bands I really picked up because of a video game was Wavves. They had a song in GTA V and I really ended up liking a lot of their other music.

Then there are several games where I just like their original soundtracks that I'll listen to among my other music. The Persona games, Danganronpa, Virtue's Last Reward, and Hotline Miami being some examples.

There has not been any games that have made me discover my favorite new bands, but Crazy Taxi did lead to me having an affection for the Bad Religion and Offspring tracks in that game. YA YA YA YA YA.

I still enjoy playing Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast and I think it's mostly because of the soundtrack. Take away the soundtrack like in the 360 and PS3 ports and the game just isn't nearly as fun.

Nope, if any game uses music from an actual musician, it's usually pop garbage.

There are some exceptions; GTAV had a pretty great soundtrack, and even had some artists I've never heard of, and some vague ones I recognized and was like "Wow, what are they doing here?!"

I really love a lot of the ambient soundtracks (soundscapes?) in games, though, and there are a lot of really good composers and sound techs out there that work in games. Music, too, of course. So I guess to answer your question, yes and no lol. I haven't really discovered many conventional bands that you'd hear on the radio through games, but I have discovered a lot of great music and composers through games.

Jesper Kyd, who worked on the Hitman games, is one. I think he did the Assassin's Creed games, too.

Frank Klepacki did the soundtrack for the Command and Conquer games, of special note is Hell March from C&C Red Alert.

The DOOM (2016) soundtrack, of course, must be mentioned. By Mick Gordon

Paul Ruskay did the soundtrack for Homeworld, which is arguably one of my favorites. Sort of rekindled my love for classical music, he did a great rendition of Adagio for Strings (almost cried at that part of the game, so sad....), but also made a really cool kind of tribal, space-Bedouin song for the raiders as well.

It's tough to call it music, but Hyper Light Drifter had this really tense, sound design to it that just made you feel all kinds of ominous. Like, hopeless and afraid and lost. The complete lack of dialogue and any real story telling devices, at least in the traditional sense, made the sound design all the more important and it really helped.

Ooooooh and Bastion, good lord I almost forgot to mention Bastion.
