Music is an important part of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise. The long-running skating series has always featured stellar soundtracks that helped get players in the mood for half-pipes and rail grinds.
Activision has now revealed the more than two dozen songs that will be featured in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. It's a broad mix of genres including rock, hip-hop and even a bit of dubstep in the form of Yogi & Skrillex's "Burial."
Songs like "Stars and Stripes" from Anti-Flag and "Keep on Knocking" from Death feel right at home in relation to the soundtracks from previous games in the series, while songs like "Burial" and "Rorschach" from Fake P bring a electronic sound to the soundtrack. Check out the full track list below.

It's a solid collection of tracks that should have fans rocking out as they perform kickflips and ollies around the virtual skatepark, though no song will ever be able to beat Goldfinger's "Superman" in terms of pure, skater-rock goodness. The song was featured on the soundtrack for the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater back in 1999 and it has been stuck in the heads of gamers everywhere ever since.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Sept. 29, with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game releasing Nov. 10. You can check out a trailer for the game here.
