GTA: The Trilogy removed music — full list

Rockstar Games published a new press release for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. The new info gives a list of included music tracks for radio stations. The list consists of over 200 songs across 29 radio stations. But there is a catch.

Some of the old tracks from the original versions of the GTA 3, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas were cut. Licensing is still an issue for this type of content.
