This is purely subjective and I still sometimes listen to these songs as I’d downloaded them at the time and I still have them on playlists now. Most of these I’ve picked because the bands who performed them didn’t really go on to have much mainstream success, which is a shame, but they will be immortalised by getting a song onto one of these soundtracks.
Plus there are so many other great songs on these soundtracks, many of which also take me back to those days, which I’ve sadly have to leave out as they’re by artists who did have more success (such as Foals who had Olympic Airways feature in FIFA 09 and Kings of Leon whose song Red Morning Light was a staple of FIFA 2004). My list is mainly from the era in which I played FIFA the most, the mid to late 00s. But there are also songs by artists which sadly didn’t go on to success and this blog aims to celebrate and remember them a little. It can often be a great platform for artists to get their music out there. The soundtrack is often what makes a FIFA game so great, a carefully curated mix of genres, new and established artists plus some classics (Town Called Malice by The Jam and Fools Gold by The Stone Roses on FIFA 2004 being good examples).
So for this blog I’m going back to my teenage years to dig out my favourite obscure songs which featured in a FIFA soundtrack, which I think it pretty obscure in itself!
