Electronic Arts' Skate had one of the greatest gaming soundtracks ever, so it should come as no surprise that its sequel will also feature a diverse cast of performers, both obscure and well known.

As with the first game, the Skate 2 soundtrack covers the gamut of musical styles. From the Wu-Tang Clan's hip-hop to Judas Priest's rock to Suicidal Tendencies' punk, almost every taste is accounted for (with the possible exception of jazz).
