The GTA 4 one by far. The Vice City themes pretty catchy too though.

Besides 1 and 2 i really like them all. They captured certain timelines with London, San Andreas and Vice pretty well.

Thanks for this thread it brought back some fond memories.

btw for all those who like 4 the most maybe you`ll want to listen to the orchestra version of it. I really dig it.

GTAIV, Although I think they all have the same themes. Gang life doesn't pay in the end.

Didn't you use that avatar before? It's still a cool one, just looks familiar...

I did ages ago, I've decided to bring it back seems more recognisable than the others

That was... Pretty awesome XD.I especially liked their Fallout 3 one though!

 

[BENZOOKA]

GTA IV. Although they're all quite nostalgic.

 

[Dragoon]

I'll go with IV with III in a close second, I really liked III's theme but IV's is just slightly better.

 

[Techno Squidgy]

GTA IV: The Lost and Damned.
Hell yeah.

 

[mirage202]

Vice City is my personal favourite, although I will admit that is influenced by thinking VC (in particular the business takeover aspect) is the best in the series so far.

That said, the original GTA theme is to this day still the most appropriate, and perhaps the most recognisable/iconic of them all.

 

[ethan22122]

I voted GTA2, but I really do love them all. I like the classic 'smooth criminal' vibe they give.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

I kind of like GTA London's theme music. It's repetitive but it's also got this lovely contemporary sound going that I think works really well. Also, I've never played GTA IV before, but that theme is awesome.

As much as I love Vice City, I've got to admit the theme music is a bit dull, especially compared to the music in the game. Same goes for San Andreas - in-game music is awesome, but the theme music is a tad boring. Also, I'd never really noticed it before, but GTA III's theme just reminds me of some of Persona 3's music, like when you're hanging around after school. Huh.

i'm into GTA IV, but i also really like the Liberty City Stories theme as a close second

though i usually prefer the in game soundtrack more to the opening themes.

GTA V better have a damn good theme though

 

[Poetic Nova]

2,3 and TLAD.

 

[Bloodstain]

GTA III, followed by GTA IV and Vice City.

Although, as a game, I enjoyed Vice City the most.

 

[Avaholic03]

After the crap that was GTA3 (sounded more like a SimCity theme), Vice City stood out as amazing. It certainly helped that I got both games at the same time, and had strong feelings about which one was much, much better overall.

 

[teqrevisited]

Always Vice City. Vengeful crime lords, backstabbers, Hawaiian shirts and the 80s in general. The theme fits the game and time perfectly.

GTA1's intro holds a special place in my heart though. I'll never forget the squishing sound that people made as you ran over them with a lorry or a school bus, or jacking Cossies to sell down at the docks.

 

[karloss01]

San Andreas as its the only one i could hum off the top of my head. but that also probably because it was the first GTA i owned, the others before that i've played at a friend's house, GTA 4 (and its expansions) were forgettable for me.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Listening to them back to back I'd say 3 is my favorite but San Andreas is the one that sticks in my head. I still hum that one to myself sometimes.
But listen to them both back to back and while they're completely different styles the actual melodies are similar.

I'm surprised the VC theme is as popular as it is; that one was the cheesiest.

Out of all of them I have to say GTA: Liberty City Stories is my favourite one. I love the beat, and the modern Godfather style. I'm always a sucker for strings.

Also if you love the GTA IV theme you'll love this version by the London Philharmonic Orchestra
