Kerry Eurodyne | Cyberpunk 1987

This playlist attempts to capture the story of Kerry Eurodyne's life in a retro-futuristic style. By using songs released before or during 1987, (with the exception of Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", released in 1988,) it reflects the story of his life told in "Cyberpunk 2077" and the TTRPG.


*I personally have not played through "Phantom Liberty", and have managed to avoid all spoilers somehow, so there’s no mention of it throughout this retelling.

This playlist is organized in a chronological order of events style, to the best of my ability using Kerry's questline from "Cyberpunk 2077" and lore from the TTRPG. For clarity, there will be a brief explanation of when songs take place included with each entry.
