Which games introduced you to real-world musical artists?

saint's row 2 had this song in it's radio, and it's probably one of the songs that changed my life

It was almost a year before that I started to play my first instrument, and that kind of sound stays with me even to this day, even tho I don't listen exclusively to that kind of music as it was in those days

Saints Row 2 had a really good soundtrack!

MGSV is why I like Man Who Sold The World, The band Garbage and Mike Oldfield's Nuclear so there's that I guess!
OH and No More Heroes introduced me to Genki Rockets (Wii players know what I'm talking about)

Same! Even if I didn't become a huge fan of every band featured in Guitar Hero, they at least knew most of the time which songs would be fun to include.

Ar Tonelico franchise made me an huge fan of Akiko Shikata, its mold my musical taste that its hard to reverse to what it was before

And Final Fantasy X-2 unlocked the diva pop missing in my brain, I still listening her songs nowadays and it surprises me to see non-FF fans knowing who she is lol

Kingdom Hearts made me a fan of Utada Hikaru. The Ridge Racer games got me into Sanodg, Samplingmasters, and Kohta "SOLIDSTATE" Takahashi.
