The release of “Grand Theft Auto V” and the subsequent launch of “Grand Theft Auto Online” has opened up a vast, expansive world for gamers to explore. Whether they’re busy following the plot of the game or simply tooling around the fictional city of Los Santos in a stolen car while causing general mayhem, it’s clear that Rockstar Games has raised the bar.

One of the key aspects of the "GTAV" experience is the music. With a score by the likes of German electronic innovators Tangerine Dream, as well as Woody Jackson and hip-hop producers Alchemist and Oh No, and 15 in-game music stations with 240 licensed songs, virtually every genre is represented in some way. There’s clearly a lot to sift through here.

Below, find a list of 13 of the best songs to be found in “Grand Theft Auto V,” as well as a full list of all the music that appears in the game.

1.) Rick James – Give It To Me Baby (SPACE 103.2)

It’s a shame that most people below the age of 35 only know Rick James from a skit on Chappelle’s Show. In actuality, James was an R&B and funk pioneer who had a long, fruitful career as a musician, songwriter and producer before passing away in 2004. “Give It To Me Baby,” which can be found on the Space 103.2 station in "GTAV," is a single taken from his 1981 album “Street Songs,” which also includes James’ signature song, “Super Freak.”

2.) DJ Quik – Dollaz and Sense (WEST COAST CLASSICS)

You know Tupac. You know Dr. Dre. You Know Ice Cube. You know NWA. You probably know Tha Dogg Pound and Mack 10, too. But do you know DJ Quik? If you don’t know, now you know. The man was right at the forefront of West Coast hip-hop along with the aforementioned artists. “Dollaz and Sense” rests easily with other hip-hop heavyweights on the West Coast Classics station in "GTAV."

3.) Johnny Cash – General Lee (REBEL RADIO)

No self-respecting country fan would be caught dead without at least one Johnny Cash album in his or her collection, and Rockstar Games was wise to include “General Lee” as part of the Rebel Radio music station in "GTAV."

4.) The Cult – Rain (LOS SANTOS ROCK RADIO)

When it comes to classic rock radio, it’s tempting to go with the likes of Chicago, Def Leppard, Phil Collins or Queen, but sometimes it’s nice to dig a little deeper, which is why “Rain” by The Cult is one of the must-listen tunes from Los Santos Rock Radio in "GTAV."

5.) George McCrae – I Get Lifted (THE LOW DOWN 91.1)

George McCrae will always be best known for his 1974 proto-disco classic “Rock Your Baby,” but one of his follow-up singles, “I Get Lifted,” might be just as good. The song drips with attitude and is a perfect addition to "GTAV’s" resident '70s funk station, The Low Down 91.1.

6.) Yellowman– Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt (BLUE ARK)

Virtually any artist from the Blue Ark station in “Grand Theft Auto V” would have been a wise pick when making a best-of list, but special attention needs to be paid to Yellowman. The man is a pioneer of the dancehall movement in Jamaica that eventually went global, and he did it all while overcoming the huge social stigma (in Jamaica) of being albino. “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt” is a good representation of what Yellowman does best.

7.) All Saints – Pure Shores (NON-STOP POP FM)

Question: What do you get when you combine the voices of British girl group All Saints with the innovative production of producer William Orbit? Answer: pure pop perfection and a sure-fire place on the list of the top 13 songs found in "GTAV."

8.) The Gaslamp Killer – Nissim (WORLDWIDE FM)

Hip-hop producer & DJ The Gaslamp Killer brings his trademark style to “Nissim,” a tune pulled from his debut album “Breakthrough” released last year. The song can be found on the Worldwide FM music station in “Grand Theft Auto V.”

9.) Black Flag – My War (CHANNEL X)

The Channel X music station in "GTAV" is a bullet-proof collection of pure punk aggression. No song better represents that aesthetic than Black Flag’s classic song “My War” from 1985.

10.) Toro Y Moi – So Many Details (RADIO MIRROR PARK)

Toro Y Moi continues his sonic winning streak on “So Many Details.” Fans of the genre known as chillwave would be wise to check out this track on the Radio Mirror Park station in "GTAV."

11.) Gucci Mane – Too Hood (RADIO LOS SANTOS)

Between all of his legal troubles and controversies, it’s easy to forget just how talented Gucci Mane really is. The rapper reminds us here with “Too Hood” from Radio Los Santos.

12.) Green Velvet and Harvard Bass – Lazer Beams (SOULWAX FM)

“Lazer Beams” by Green Velvet and Harvard Bass is the perfect song for a car chase, which is undoubtedly what Rockstar Games had in mind when they included it among the 240 songs found in "GTAV." Green Velvet brings his trademark house style to the track, complete with acid squelches and a frenetic beat.

13.) Aphex Twin - Window Licker (FLYLO FM)

A classic tune from the demented mind of Richard D. James, otherwise known as Aphex Twin. If you haven't seen the video, you're in for a treat.
