Los Santos Rock Radio is the classic rock station in Grand Theft Auto V (2013) and GTA Online. It is hosted by the singer Kenny Loggins, who also sings the station's jingle. The playlist leans on 1970s and 1980s rock and soft rock, with Bob Seger, Queen, Foreigner and Chicago among the artists.

What is Los Santos Rock Radio?

Los Santos Rock Radio is the station for older rock fans in Grand Theft Auto V. It covers the radio-friendly rock of the 1970s and 1980s, from arena anthems to smooth soft rock, the sound often nicknamed yacht rock. It plays a similar role to K-DST in San Andreas and Liberty Rock Radio in GTA IV. See GTA radio stations for the full picture.

Who hosts Los Santos Rock Radio?

The DJ is Kenny Loggins, the American singer-songwriter known for 1980s film songs. Both Wikipedia and the GTA Wiki name him as host, and the GTA Wiki adds that he sings the short station ident himself. His on-air character plays up a laid-back, nostalgic attitude to the music.

Don Johnson's track is a small in-joke: the actor starred in Miami Vice, a big influence on the series' Vice City. According to the GTA Wiki, Kenny Loggins's own song "Danger Zone" was later added to the station in the updated version of the game.

How was the GTA V soundtrack received?

Wikipedia's article on the music of GTA V reports a positive reception for the soundtrack as a whole rather than for single stations. GameSpot wrote that the music gives missions a more cinematic feel, and Edge praised how the licensed songs help define the city.
