This is not the first comments section to make me realize what an awesome song selection GTA:San Andreas had.It makes me wish I still had my copy or that Rockstar would release it again in a high-def version.Oh well,from what I hear GTA 5 is going to take place in San Andreas.Now if they could make the song selection just as awesome us gamers are gonna be in for a treat!
I listened to this smoking dmt, and I closed me eyes and I was driving a a 79 trans am firebird through the desert and through the vegas strip, windows down, my long hair blowing in the wind, sexy babe on my right, casinos on my left. Man it made my trip!
"ZOMG GTA SAN ANDREAS!!!" The GTA references are getting annoying. I'm glad you liked the game and glad it showed you the song... but come on... "THUMBS UP IF SAN ANDREAS SENT YA HURRRRRR" -_-
@UnbiasedGiraffe Oh oh im sorry i was born in the 92 how the hell am I suppose to find out this song... its barely played in the radios nowadays you should be glad that its in games like San Andreas so the legacy of good music can be carried on
maybe you just dont find the right radio station. I have heard many 60s and 70s on the radio. over the past 20+ years. as well as great classics from the 80s and 90s. Just got know where to look.
@swine74 The critics at hollywood. I wonder if you could be a critic. You seem a little stupid and uneducated to be a judge. Leave now. or forever hold your life.
@swine74 what the hell are you talkin' about the voice matches the song perfectly and if i would meet Tom Petty in person i would tell him that he is awesome
ha this takes me back to when my band started to get gigs, this blaring out of the van on the way to the venue. its amazing how a transit van can out run most cars when running down a dream is on.
"Runnin' Down a Dream" is the title of a song co-written and recorded by Tom Petty. It was released in July 1989 as the second single from his first solo album Full Moon Fever. "Runnin' Down a Dream" achieved reasonable chart success, reaching number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the top of the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, which meant in practice considerable airplay then on album-oriented rock stations. It has since garnered significant airplay on classic rock stations.
I used to use this song in the English Conversation classes I taught in South Korea. I would teach the vocabulary, then give the students a lyrics sheet with some of the words missing and they would listen to the song and fill in the blanks.
Finally, we would all talk about the dreams we run down as we fly down life's highway.
thx u, record players, cd players, radios, walkmens, i-pods, ect. for giveing each generation a way to enjoy their music, or past masters like this. thx u gh, rockstar games, ect. for putting these tunes in your video games, introduceing young fans to this awesome music. I must thx my radio.
Thumbs up if you didn't need a video game to know about this great song!
