Here’s the full 100+ songlist for Mafia 3

Mafia is known for its brilliant interpretations of some of the best periods in America. We've seen these time periods recognized in some of the best movies and TV shows such as Mad Men, Goodfellas, and The Godfather. There's a lot of things that makes these periods so iconic and recognizable, the clothing, the flashy cars, and most importantly… the legendary music.

Mafia 3 takes us away from the '40s and '50s into the '60s which took us into a new age of all the things I previously mentioned. Clothing changed, we got sexier cars, and the music took on things happening in the political world and many other things. The '60s is arguably one of the most important decades of the 20th century.

Today, Rolling Stone revealed the official tracklist for Mafia 3 which has so many iconic songs it may make you wonder how the hell 2K Games could afford all this music or how they managed to secure all this incredible music. Director Hayden Blackman spoke on how they chose the music for the game and how exactly it fits into the game.

"From the outset we knew we had to have a kick-ass soundtrack," Blackman says. "Our approach was very much that we have to make sure it's an amazing soundtrack, because that will lead to an amazing game."

"The first song I knew I wanted to get into the game is a pretty obscure one," Blackman says. "A song called 'Desperation' by Steppenwolf, which I knew from their greatest hits album or whatever. It's this very moody Steppenwolf song that's very different than anything else that you know them for." The song is first used for an emotional scene between Lincoln and Father James, who is a Catholic priest that helped raise him. "He's kind of an Old Testament guy, so he totally understands Lincoln's war against the mob," Blackman explains. "He supports it up to a point, but he warns Lincoln about the cost of this war. Not just in terms of the people that might die, but also on his soul. That's a hard moment for Lincoln and we have 'Desperation' playing in the background."

Blackman didn't even think that they would get as many of the artists and songs that they ended up getting. "There were artists that I thought there would be no way we'd ever get, and yet they came through," Blackman says. "So Creedence, the Rolling Stones, we have the Beach Boys, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, Elvis. Honestly, I was doubtful that we'd be able to get this wide spectrum of Sixties artists."

Blackman said that he was very keen on getting some specific songs that we have all heard in some of the best Vietnam films. "I really wanted to get 'Sympathy for the Devil' in, and 'Paint It Black' obviously, because it's such a Vietnam-era song. And then Sam and Dave. It was really important to me to get some representation from Sam and Dave because I could see driving to that, being in combat to that, applying it to cinematics or story moments. Their music is so versatile."
