I'm not against new music, I'm just against rap.

fair enough just seems like everyone here dislikes new music, cause all they want is something out of the 50s, and i only brought up my opinion and then everyone gangs up against me. You see its not pleasent.

I have only one thing to say, no dubstep or rap. Please. It's bad enough that Borderlands 2 will have Dubstep in it. I had to cross it off my games to buy thanks to that. I loved the first game but, every time I hear dubstep in a movie, it ruins the entire scene.

New music isn't bad but there are only 3 songs I like from this year so far. Still no rap though.

Rock I agree with since it was invented. Rap wouldn't exist though since poetry doesn't even exist and neither does basic language education. It would make no sense for rap to exist. There would be no EDM either since computers can only make simple noises. I would like to see some live performances though in the game. Maybe have a cabaret club or a bar have a live performance singer. Get one of the voice actresses to sing a few songs and voila, you have the voice needed for a live performance in the next Fallout game.

As much as I like it, rap doesn't belong in Fallout imo.

rap comes from really a mix of the old poetry over a beat as well as the scat that louis armstrong was known for. A lot of the really classic beats are stripped down jazz-type beats as well. As compared to actual singing you don't need any expensive voice lessons, you just need an ability to think on the fly and an extensive vocabulary (or at least you used to..)

One of the things about hip-hop some people forget is that it more or less came as a direct consequence of the introduction of european disco, which was a lot more watered-down than people were used to or enjoyed. Before that, they had used funk music and 50s musicians with the strings and horns, but eventually moved to disco for the crossover appeal. Once the euro-disco showed up, they moved back to funk and it goes on from there. So hip-hop wouldn't be the type that we know it as, but it would be more of a block-party type rap.

that doesn't fit with fallout. The only type that fits in with fallout is gangster rap, but you don't really have all of that progression to gangster rap that you would see in an actual fallout scenario with all of the drugs and guns. If anything, you would have freestyle battles done over human beatboxers. That wouldn't give the sophistication of modern production techniques, but you can do some really cool things with beatboxing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYJPOoy_eMM watch from 0:40. it sounds like a high school band at one point

Just for pondering's sake. Would something close to rap. Or at least the beat oriented tribalness of it be something that say, Sulik's tribe would play, as a post war music style?

More swing, more country,

MORE DEAN MARTIN, MORE JOHNYY CASH!

I think it would be good if it was a random encounter in the wasteland and you find a couple of people having a rap battle. After a while, they can shoot at each-other even. Maybe then it would be acceptable and I would laugh when I saw it. Just not on a radio channel. This sorta ties in to my idea of having actual people singing in bars and clubs. I don't think that Bethesda programs their NPCs to the extent at which they could (and definitely should). Have the voice actors record some classic songs.

Rap, no. Tribal music would work but it would be chanting and they wouldn't have a radio station.

If i want a rap battle ill go outside to a random person and challenge him.

Im happy that SOME people now see that rap technically can be in fallout and i agree Gangzta rap LOL

Rap is the poetry of the streets i dont see how people dislike that

I can respect you not wanting rap or a tribal radio station.
I do think it could be done though. it would just need to be handled very carefully.
I suppose that could be said for a lot of things though.

A tribal radio station? Tribals wouldn't know how to use a radiostation.

Tribal Music on the other hand I would like... as long as it's unique music created for the next Fallout game.

I really enjoyed Agatha's radiostation in Fallout 3 and the songs of the Lonesome Drifter in New Vegas. I would like more music like that. So in a sense modern music of our time could be in future games, just not songs by artists from our times, simply simular style, unique just for the game music. Hopefully I am explaining that right.

it doesnt need to mean that there is a radio station at a tribal campfire.
it could very well be the "traditional music" of a people that have since integrated themselves into a neighboring society, and play it to remind themselves of where they come from.
or a radio station rthat plays original wasteland music and has a tribal music hour.
there is tribal music that is played on the radio and in other mediums IRL, without the need of actual tribal members running a radio station..
think of it this way... unless youve been to a lot of tribal functions, how do you know youd like to have some tribal music in the next fallout?
just food for thought.

I dug the tribal sounding BG music in FO, what with the djembe and all, and would dig some more original tunes.

Are you talking to me or just in general terms? I would like orginal tribal music and other forums of music for the next Fallout game.

I just pictured when I wrote my last post the tribals of Arroyo in Fallout 2 running a radiostation and found it silly. Sure I can see a radiostation playing orginal wasteland music. In Fallout 2 people were making porm and such so why not music? We have already seen it in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

In Fallout Tactics in the ruins of a building there is a drum set and some electric guitars. I have pictured for a long time people using them. After all electric guitars were invented in the 1930s, so having some wastelanders having some and using some would be interesting.

I would have loved to see at least one of the Kings with an electric guitar.

was saying that tribal tunes aren't just played by tribal members. Agreed that arroyo radio would he pretty silly.

They could do so much with original music in fallout.

Not as much specifics but a radio station that uses music saved on your xbox/PC/ps3 in game. I know it wouldn't fit but after all, it's an optional thing. It would mean you could listen without game volume muted? Ideas?

I want a lot of folk songs and ballads, but written post-war and performed "live" by wastelanders, like by campfires, or by bar patrons at bars, or by people performing at bars, or by old grampa sitting on the porch, or by someone performing in a street corner, or by children while they are playing in the village, or just by random people singing it silently to themselves as they walk along the streets on market day. Folk songs and ballads like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yctRlVmC_cQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuNXwDuBO20 (or like Whiskey in the Jar, the "original" one.) The instruments could even look crudely crafted, not as new and fresh as agatha's violin or the lonesome guy's guitar.

New music genres emerge and dies ever decade. But no matter what time we'll be in, people will always compose traditional music. Do we really need all these radio stations? Now that I think of it, I'd actually prefer just listening to music being played or sung "live" in the game. Would help making the world feel even more alive, don't you think? And then there could be a radio station just playing the old-world holotapes (which I still think should not be anything that has a sound too far away from the... middle 60's at the most! The song could be from 2010 from all I care, as long as it doesn't sound like our music of today. Bleh.)

Edit: Could even be some cover of some more recent folk songs like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUwjNBjqR-c, covered in a way to fit the wasteland but when you hear it sung in the game you will recognise the melody!

Edit2: I wouldn't even mind seeing a street musician like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POACRbmaR90!!

Dean Martin all the way...
Here is a precious gem sung by him:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6FSO7Jmhjw

This would make my day in fallout if i heard this on the wasteand radio. Tennessee Ernie Ford Sixteen tons

I know its not as novel, bit I'll usually just my xbox music player if I want my tunes.
I do fancy some Gen Patton vs X-Ecutioners playing sometimes.

Nickleback

The INKSPOTS!!!! god, I love those guys. Also Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, and some Frank Sinatra.

I could be here all day Fallout really brought out my love for this era of music.

Also this song is awesome but I feel it would be pushing the vibe of Fallout.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwS_YDzxH3M

Also I want to state keep metal, rap, and newer stuff out of my Fallout. I'm not against the music, but it just doesn't fit Fallout or what the fans love about it. Take away the 50s style and your left with just another post-apocalyptic world which is pretty boring. If you really want that stuff in your game put it on while your playing but don't try to ruin a games bases just so you can get your rap fix.

Hell Fallout only has a handful of songs guess what I do.. I pull up some music on my computer while I play it's not hard.
