This guide is a collection of the best songs from Mafia 2 in my opinion. This collection contains hits from the times of Mafia 2, and simple songs that are clearly associated with Mafia 2 due to the in-game radio. For each song, a brief information about it is written. I tried to collect the original vinyl record covers for each of the songs.

The songs in the guide are arranged in random order, without filtering by genre or year. If I forgot to add a song, write in the comments and I will add it.

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧"

This collection of music is dedicated to my best friend and true fan of the Mafia series.
