Favourite FIFA songs??

These are ones I have discovered playing FIFA, not songs I previously liked that were added to the soundtrack.
Gone up in Flames - Morning Runner
Escapee - Architecture in Helsinki
Jerk it Out - Ceasars
Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John
We Used to Be Friends - Dandy Warhols

I'm sure I have missed some

I've got a playlist with about 40+ songs

Two in bold are up there with my favourites.

No Roots - Fatihless
Helicopter - Bloc Party
Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
Monster - The Automatic
Lights & Music - Cut Copy
Gold Guns Girls - Metric
Can't Sleep - Adrian Lux
Rhinestone Eyes - Gorrilaz
Paper Romance - Groove Armada (my #1 FIFA song)
Around Us - Jonsi
I Can Talk - Two Door Cinema Club (my #2)
Not In Love - Crystal Castles (#3)
Paddling Out - Miike Snow

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Yeah some great songs in there, some of them I knew before FIFA like Not in Love, I Can Talk, Around Us, Lights and Music and Helicopter

 

[Magma]

all fifa soundtracks seem to blend into one big song.

 

[Quivorir]

Was going to say this. Can't think of one song from FIFA.

 

[Jatz]

Ashes by Embrace.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

1st album? You wouldn't even know it!

FIFA songs? Crikey heck, they had some banging tunes back in the mid-00s. Though again looking at the lists... freakin' Nora, am I the only one that likes the world songs in a different language? Put the language barrier aside, and you've got some real corkers in there.

Yeah I like them too apart from the Jonsi one I couldn't think of any of them though. I also was a fan of the Damien Marley song welcome to jamrock on whichever FIFA that was

Off the top of my head. Epik High's Fly, FIFA 07. Augen Auf, FIFA 05, Dieci, Cento, Mille, FIFA 05. Wari Wari Boom Boom WC06. I think ZZ's Samurai Blue was a FIFA song as well. A few others in there.

How could you hate the Jonsi song?! His solo album is fantastic!

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Geez; Song 2, Tubthumper, Rockafella, Stop the Rock, Get the Cool Shoe Shine... (nothing from 2001 though). Early FIFA did have some good songs, although limited they may be.

 

[Loonerty]

Paddling Out sticks out to me

 

[Magma]

that was also in one of the forza horizon sound tracks.

best music/radio stuff in a game for me has to be vice city/san andreas.

No no I like that one. Named it on my list because I remember it. The rest of the foreign songs I struggle to remember the names of

Oh geez, on the topic of Swedish bands, thank you for reminding me about Sabaton. Darn you Paradox for including Sabaton songs in every single game you make!

EU4 fan?

 

[Fryer Tuck]

EU4 fan?

You bet ya! CK2 (How the hell is it possible to like CK2 yet want nothing to do with GoT?) and HoI4 fan too. Still waiting for Victoria III so I can do the 1300 year run.

What about all the way to Stellaris?

 

[Sozabarus]

Think mine was the Slim Shady LP

How old were you? I was about 10 when Marshall Mathers LP came out and my parents had it but I wasn't allowed to listen to it. So one day before school I snuck it in to my bag and then played it on the school computers.

"Slim Shady does not give a **** what you think, if you don't like it you can suck his ****ing ****" played out full blast and I got sent home.

Which, incidentally, came second recently in a "songs from video games" round in the bigfooty song contest which I reckon would be right up your alley if you haven't checked it out already.

Loonerty and roo2macca are over there as well but they're mostly in to mainstream stuff like Matchbox Twenty and Maroon 5.

I think I was 11 or 12 and sneakily bought it and would listen on my discman because I wouldn't have been allowed to listen to it

 

[bok_party]

Found All Tvvins from FIFA, catfish and the bottlemen, April Towers, Coasts, Royal Concept, Saint Raymond, 1975, Jonathan Boulet, El Guincho, Caribou, Dan Black, Danananakroyd, Passion Pit, Hard Fi, Nine Black Alps.

That's off the top of my head.

I didn't nom it but I gave it 5 votes:

I've heard good things about Stellaris, but it feels too different compared to the more historically based series. I mean, I can do sci-fi, but it doesn't feel... continuous if you know what I mean.

I might one day.

It takes them about two years of tweaking to get the game to the right standard anyway. Stellaris is a bit boring in the mid game.
