Wonderful work Gizmo I would love to see and hear such things in a Fallout game.

Somewhere a sleazy promoter record guy rings his greasy hands together.

What a great way to promote that Katy Perry track into a Fallout game.

Bwa Ha Ha !!!

" Miley Cirus sing's "Big Gun on Your Hip."
Oh no, One Direction singing "Set the World on Fire."
Make it stop !!! Please stick my head in a bucket with a plasma grenade.

Wayne Newton is from the 50's ? He'll hit on your Mom.

In my Fallout there would be new music. There are harmonics and guitars, so someone must be jammin out. Maybe all of those big machines sitting around that they left running are actually amplifiers.

I don't know how to explain how nada after the sixties exists on holotape. I'm a little confused about that, the nukes didn't go off until much later. Oh well ,just make something up .It's a parody.

If I recall, The Burned Game featured Slipknot. That's reason enough to keep away from Modern Music.

Hey hey hey
We're all entitled to our own opinions and personally i rather enjoy Slipknot.

But i can tell you, sure as hell, that they don't belong in a Fallout game.

Music from the Sixties has hidden Commie Sedition encoded into it, Citizen

There were many groups that tried to stop the "evils" of "modern music" in the Fifties United States. Beatniks were viewed (probably by an actual majority) as Communistic Parasites destroying America from within.

My personal thought is that the 40s/50s songs we are hearing as players are just an approximation of what the Fallout world was listening to in 2077 when the bombs dropped. It is a shorthand to us, the players, that gives us the correct style and mood of music, while the actual songs being played in the Fallout world itself are all original songs composed shortly before the Great War, just in the same style and aethestic as 1940s and 1950s music.

So, yeah, really a budget thing in my mind. Instead of Bethesda or Interplay hiring musicians to ape the 1940s and 1950s musical genre with songs that may not end up as catchy or memorable as the real things, they put the real music in as a shorthand message that "the world's music sounds sort of like this guys and gals."

Just my own personal pet theory for the discrepancy.

Well I think we all know the real life reasons why there aren't more songs, but isn't the in game reason because most of the music tapes were destroyed during the war? I seem to remember a mission in FO3 where you have to go scrounge for music tracks for 3-Dog because he only has like 2 songs to play on the radio.

You'd think they could have put one Elvis song into New Vegas, heck he was even mentioned.

Yeah, how much could it possibly cost to license a song by possibly the biggest musical superstar of the 20th century

I do believe that this could also be confirmed by Dean Domino asking if the Holo-Archives survived the bomb. It's mostly conjecture, but perhaps the most modern music, ie the music produced in the fallout 2000s was only available on this medium that is no longer available.

I've been thinking about this and I'd imagine that it would have a influence. Nobody likes a PINKO

Between trying to survive radionation, mutants and ghouls, when would people have time to record music and distribute them in large quantities around the country / world?
