Need for speed underground was the first game for me that made my head bop.
How about need for speed most wanted 2005
What’s so great about Taylor Swift? Everyone talks about how “great” Taylor Swift is. Taylor Swift isn’t so great. She never got her picture on a bubble gum card. Have you ever seen her picture on a bubble gum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who’s never had their picture on a bubble gum card?

SKATE 2 had a totally banging soundtrack. No Swift. She has a terrible reach into the skate game history books.
So here I am.
Doing everything I can.
Holding on to what I am,
Pretending I’m a super man!
You are in my brain
Wip3out did this to me
Pretty sure she was not born yet when the first one came out
She was born, but that’s the joke that she’s too young to even have had a chance.
I’m feeling pretty old these days. Wouldn’t have surprised me if she was born 2 years after
Errrm, I’m pretty sure her age, while being a huge factor, isn’t the only thing that prevented that happening. She’s not exactly on a similar vibe as Anthrax or Millencolin.
I mean, neither Britney Spears nor Christina Aguilera made the cut iirc, despite their popularity in the same era.
She’s 34 and the first Pro Skater came out in 1999
Oh yeah, I remember all her albums from when she was 10 :D
I still listen to the THUG soundtrack, shifting away from the NOFX/QOTS/Bad Religion/Social Distortion bands I was into when I played as a teen, towards other songs I overlooked:
-
Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device
- Literally written during and about the Troubeles in N Ireland, fantastic punk/protest song.

Smoke Blow - Circle of Fear
- My first foray into Kraut Rock. This whole German Angst album is pretty good.

-
Mastodon - Crusher Destroyer
- Not their greatest song, but it defintely opened me up to their rest of their stuff.

-
Assorted Jelly Beans - Rebel Yell
-
This song used to irritate the hell out of me when I first heard it. Babyish, lazy, unfocused?
-
As I got older, I started to appreciate the creativity and the many mood shifts within it. I count at least 5 distinct shifts. It’s a patchwork of several different songs squashed together brilliantly.

Plus, try to match the tempo of the singer when he sings at 0:37:
The spotlight’s shining, heard you had something to say
The hourglass is pouring, your boring crowd fades awayIt’s harder than it sounds

Someone please make a custom ROM of THPS2, but with all the songs changed to be AI-powered covers of the soundtrack by Taylor Swift.
Yeah. AI covers!
Edit. I completely missed that you said ai powered, lol. Fistbump
Noooooo
If it’s not in Vice City, I don’t want to hear it.
Hold The Line brother!
“Hate” is a strong word, but I really, really, really don’t like you.
Same, dude. THPS2 was massively influential for my generation.
Never been a skater myself after having had a neck injury in third grade, when I first tried it. But the music stuck.
I still play Tony hawk soundtracks on Spotify in my car
Trouble feels feels like a good song to rack up a massive combo line.
I know its a good song to rack up lines of coke to.
I just wanna skate skate skate skate skate skate
Bladers gonna hate hate hate hate hate hate
Skate it off, skate it offThanks i hate it
The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 had a massive impact on my taste in music.
Need for Speed was that series for me. Pendulum, Justice, The Qemists, Junkie XL, Hyper, Madeon, Feed Me, Nine Inch Nails, Celldweller, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, Haezer… Man NFS had some killer soundtracks.
This but WipEout
Riders on the Storm. But afair it was Snoop Dogg who made the Version for NFS.
