Here we saw Blink-182 (“Feeling This”) bleed into Outkast (“Church”), Yellowcard open for Killer Mike, The Roots chase AFI. Madden 2004 is the fan favorite, more full than 2003, and more appropriately mixed to represent popular music at the time (especially among Madden players). Madden 2003 was the first in the series to benefit from EA’s partnership with some major record labels, leading to a soundtrack with Andrew WK, Good Charlotte, and The Nappy Roots (albeit with a “rock remix” of “Awnaw” featuring early aughts relic and Christian metal band P.O.D.). For the last 15 years or so, the series’ soundtracks have been filled with licensed music, an eclectic mix of rap and garage-feel alt rock, from both upcoming and popular artists. Before Sony used “Take Me Out” in that great, futile PSP campaign, Franz Ferdinand’s 2004 hit showed up in EA’s NFL football game, Madden.
