Does anyone else actually like some of these...

...... 50's American style songs I have been hearing on Diamond City radio haha??!



I am new to this installment and I am already missing hearing my fave from FO3 which was the main intro song too - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire.


Can someone please tell me I will hear it here in FO4??



Songs I am loving so far are:



Crazy He Calls Me


The End of The World



I think it is brilliant how they have managed to make some of these early pieces really enjoyable through the Fallout series!!!

There are some songs from Fallout 3 that make a return to 4, including I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire.



Overall I'm really liking it. Radio extender mods for Fallout 3 spoiled me, though, so 42 songs isn't a whole lot to me. But the songs themselves are pretty solid.

I think the devs had a blast seeking out the dirtiest old songs they could find--"Rocket 69", "60-Minute Man"


I prefer the classical station. Slaughtering to Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky is pretty epic.

I just stood outside of the backalley mission to clear raiders out of that building as wanted to go in all serious and quiet....... but I waited as The End Of The World came on so I had to sing out loud to it before proceeding haha!!!



No other game gives you a moment like that!

I actually listened to the radio very little in this game... which is odd, considering I liked the FO3 GNR songs enough to burn them to a CD. I think part of it is the better sound design + more reasons to want to hear environment sounds (like things creeping nearby, or firefights three blocks over).

Honestly there aren't any songs on DCR that I can really say that I dislike. I definitely have some favorites, and I would love to have more songs, but I like the songs that they play. I feel that they're very appropriate to the theme. A greater variety would definitely be useful. I've looked at some mods that add a bunch of new songs to DCR, and I may end up checking some of those out eventually. The ones that I've seen remove Travis's dialog from the radio though, which I'm not willing to do at this point.

Grandma Plays the Numbers, easily my favorite. If my PCs could shuffle, they would.

I think this game made me realize how much I love Franz Liszt. Never knew the names of the compositions before, but always recognized them - and the two of his on the classical station are my favorite in the game.

Nope, don't like'em. I have made a habit out of turning the radios off whenever I encounter one. I don't mind the classic channel, but the "oldies" or whatever genre they are, is not my cup of tea. :)

I think New Vegas overall had better radio.



I rarely listen to the radio in FO4. The Silver Shroud episodes were fun though.

I really liked most of the songs in New Vegas, it just didn't feel like they matched the post-apocalyptic and retro-future atmosphere as well as Bethesda's selections did. They fit the wild west/big city themes in New Vegas well enough, I guess.

Fallout 4 made me appreciate these songs a lot more than I did before. I just they included a bit more music from the time period.

I don't find myself listening as much in this game as F3. But NV kinda soured me on radio stations. For some reason, I would always get the same three songs over and over. So I just got used to questing without tunes.


I like to tune into the silver shroud radio a bit. But just to hear the announcer say "SILVER SHROUD!" while eating the microphone. I dunno why, it makes me chuckle.


For what I do listen to though, I like 60 minute man and He's a Demon, He's a Devil, He's a Dog the most.

Oh, now I remember what put me off the radio stations in New Vegas. The songs were fine, I'll even forgive Johnny Guitar. It was that I was playing New Vegas on a weaker PC, and the radio stations would stutter in loading screens. That's... really hard for me to tolerate. Audio stuttering just bothers me so much.

I'm a huge Andrews Sisters fan so there's that. Surprisingly, most of DCR's selection is pre 50's. I listen to DCR for a few minutes before I turn to my Andrews Sisters library. You haven't lived until you enter a firefight while listening to the Gals with Glenn Miller doing ' In the mood' , epic.

I love DC radio and Travis "Lonely" Miles. :) I could listen to him all day. I like the songs except one in particular, It's a Man - Travis even apologises for playing this one, lol. I don't like it, and I am a woman.


I love Atom Bomb Baby, The End of the World, The Wanderer, the new jazzy ones by Lynda Carter, and of course all of the ones they brought back from Fallout 3, especially Dear Hearts and Gentle People.



edit: Almost forgot, Pistol Packin' Mama!

not me.


they're totally not fallout


fnv started that with the elvis stuff. but fallout universe for my feeling is america BEFORE elvis. ain't no rock'n'roll in this world.


i definitely think they should have stayed - and expanded - on the jazz/swing side with the music.


like, a "hardcoe" jazz station would've been nice, and would've fit.


dizzy gillespie all the way to diamond city :-)



what i decidedly DO like about this fo's music though are the magnolia titles. definitely stg i'd like to hear more of



edit: try singing "it's all over but the crying" with a 3/4 beat. big improvement :-)

Elvis started recording in the early to mid fifties. Going from memory, I want to say the beatles were probably well established before the 50's came to a close

I don't really like music in general. I only listen to the news.
