FH3 soundtrack absolutely paled in comparison to those of FH1 and FH2. It had pretty much an opposite distribution of nice/poor songs to what 1 and 2 had. Meaning the first two had only a handful of poor songs, 3 had only a handful of good ones. It’s like clearly the force behind picking the soundtrack had changed for 3 and not for the better lm afraid.
All that said, my favourite radio station in FH3 was “Radio Off”. The car audio audibly changes when the music is set off. That’s good mixing.
With me it is the complete opposite. The best music out of the 3 has FH3. FH1 had some good music tracks, but FH2 is just a generic grey mass for me (I can’t even name one song from the top of my head - this is, how appealing the music was/is in that game for me).
I prefer the music from less known artists in the games. That way the artists get more exposure and gamers can explore new music. The music has to be good though 
I’m not a fan of the popular radio hit songs making their way into games (it also makes the game more expensive and will generate more trouble with licensing).
Oh, since this is a wishlist thread, I would like to see (at some point of time) a radio station, that plays modern 80s style music. Something like synthwave/retrowave/futuresynth/whatever you want to call it (newretrowave channel on youtube).

SAW FM. Stock Aitken Waterman mega mix, Rick Astley, Kylie, Bananarama etc.
Two Tone. FM. The Specials, Madness, Busty Bloodvessel, et all.
Def Leopard and AC/DC!!!
They should have a Eurobeat station. Really! I would greatly enjoy a Eurobeat station.
Tranz by the gorillaz has to be on, British band and haz the perfect Horizon vibe.

Your playlist is ace, I have half those songs on my own personal “Horizon Pulse” playlist.
Post ideas for radio stations/songs.
The music playlist is probably already set in stone for FH4 but if we could squeeze one more song in, then I recommend ‘There For You’ by Culture Shock. It just seems to have the essence of a Forza Horizon game!
Seeing as the game is set in the UK, it would be a missed opportunity to not include a Domino Records station
Something like this would be great:
Alex Turner - Stuck On A Puzzle
Arctic Monkeys - She Looks Like Fun
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Franz Ferdinand - Feel The Love Go
Hot Chip - Love Is The Future
The Kills - Impossible Tracks
The Kills - Love Is A Deserter
The Last Shadow Puppets - Dracula Teeth
Superorganism - Night Time
Gorillaz feat Superorganism - Humility (Superorganism Remix)
Wild Beasts - Big Cat
Animal Collective - My Girls
Hookworms - Negative Space
Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is The Move
The Pastels - Nothing To Be Done
Porches - Find Me
Archie Bronson Outfit - Cherry Lips
Night Moves - Carl Sagan
Real Estate - It’s Real
Any Tame Impala or Toro Y Moi would be appreciated.
And when we are at it, when not bring back Chromeo? They had song(s) in FH1 and FH2
Never going to happen, but what the heck:
Dave Brubeck: Time Out album
Stan Kenton: Adventures in Time album
Stan Kenton: Cuban Fire album
Yes: Tales From Topographic Oceans
Yes: 90125
Yes: Big Generator album (esp I’m Running)
Yes: Talk
Yes: Magnification album
Genesis: Trick of the Tail album
Genesis: Domino
Genesis: Turn It On Again
Buddy Rich: Channel One Suite
Buddy Rich: Norwegian Woods
Trevor Rabin: Assorted music from his soundtracks
Thomas Newman: Assorted music from his soundtracks
Elmer Bernstein: Theme from The Rat Race (the old movie with Tony Curtis, as featured at many drag strips at the time)
Actually, as long as there is still a way to turn off the radio, I will be fine.
I think there should be channels revolving around what all of the audience likes. I personally love rap and inner city trap music. But for other racers who aren’t as big on rap as I am; include like a rock channel a dubstep channel, mainstream pop channel, or like an oldies channel with like the Beatles or something like that. Just basically have a channel for every genre of music
I laughed so hard when I saw this, imagining all four sides of Topograhpic Oceans, on the Forza Radio
Nice list Doug!
So for the modern rap trap music channel here are a list of some of the songs that may attract a much bigger audience
(Of course clean versions of the songs if required)
24/7- Mucho Dinero
Digital Dash- Drake Feat. Future
Butterfly Effect- Travis Scott
Taste- Tyga Feat. Offset
Stir Fry- Migos
100$ Bill- Jay Z
Swimming pools- Kendrick Lamar
In My Feelings- Drake
Survival- Drake
Tati- 6ix9ine
This plane- Wiz Khalifa
So High- Wiz Khalifa Feat. Ghost Loft
Faneto- Chief Keef
Sosa Chamberlain- Chief Keef
Timeless requests:
Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries
Personally I find it weird that this one is available as a car horn, and not as a track on Timeless.
The Ride of the Valkyries is just perfect for a #Forzathon Live.
DID SOMEONE SAY FOUR SEASONS?
Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons: “Spring”
Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons: “Summer”
Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons: “Autumn”
Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons: “Winter”
BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMEONE SAID FOUR SEASONS
Not just Spring I, I want the whole thing! You can definitely fit the whole work as divided in four 10 minute tracks, one per each season.
Some more requests:
Gioachino Rossini - The Thieving Magpie: Overture
Léo Delibes - The Flower Duet (from “Lakmé”)
Jacques Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld: Overture
Georges Bizet - Prelude to Act 1 for “Carmen”
Carl Orff - O Fortuna (from the Carmina Burana)
Tekashe 69- Gummo
