Meetings Along The Edge

Passages - Meetings Along The Edge - Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass


Pisces

"Pisces" - very generic title for a song, could be a lot of songs...
like this for example, pretty good song:


Poem Of The Atoms

Armand Amar Poem Of The Atoms

You can find song hits for all of the question marks by googling '"[quest name]" song'. ;)
One of them is rather obscure.
Already tried that method, but results didn't turn anything obvious, songs and musicians themselves are pretty obscure compared to those I'm 100% sure about. :smart:
 
Just came to say I fought the law is not The Clash original, although it is one of the most popular versions. I personally prefer the Bobby Fuller Four version ;)

They changed most of the name quests to songs of my country (Spain) or South America in Spanish. What a waste... I mean, it's my personal preference but I saw people saying "ohhh the Cyberpunk translators know about rock because they put Mecano or Los Rodriguez songs... Yeah, forget about The Rolling Stones, who are they again? :ROFLMAO:

Great list!
One correction: "Knocking on Heaven's Door" is not by Guns 'n' Roses, even if they fit Cyberpunk better. They just covered it. Original is by Bob Dylan.

@Rodocastiza and @Vendrean
Yeah, but the thing I was going for is the most famous interpretation of the song being the one that CP2077 quests are referring to. Another example would be "Love Rollercoaster" which not in fact RHCP original (it's the song by Ohio Players), but it's arguably the most popular version.
I probably should have mentioned this somewhere in my original post. :)
 
In spanish translation,as @Rodocastiza says they choose a spanish song(personally i like it) but doesn't convey the same meaning to the quest.

Exactly. They tried to get some meaning (for example Following the River was "Some good men"), but I hated that. Just my preference, I don't like the naturalization of translations. I grow up with a lot of really bad naturalization in TV series.

Now I play with all in English. It's a bit difficult to understand everything (due to slang) but is preferrable.

I think that we are just suffering the translation problems that plague spanish translations since forever, but changing songs if the intention is that a song associated with a quest conveys a meaning is particularly bad idea.
