I liked the Fallout 3 songs so I think that they should be in the next Fallout (Fallout 4)as well as a lot of other songs not sure about any extra's might listen to radio swing worldwide and list some of the song names

Music from the 60s if it's in the older style can work. Divergence happened somewhere after 1945 and probably before the early 1960s, where the culture stayed stagnant. If there's a song into the 60s that still "sounds like" a 50s or earlier style, it would work. Louie Armstrong's Wonderful World would be appropriate, since he would have been alive in that time and probably would have come up with that song just the same as the timelines hadn't diverged so greatly at that point.

In another post-apo universe he played a radio DJ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI57iE5smvQ

I think this would fit a New Vegas style area. I don't know if it has been in any of the games to date, and it is a little past the 40's 50's music they use. Fits fine though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDN4L7cAQf0.

One thing I would like is being able to find cassette tapes from around the wasteland. I always wanted that as a side quest in FO3 that you could turn in old world songs from around the wasteland into 3 dog and he would play them through out his show

Whoa whoa wait a minute, Black Sabbath is from the 70's, not the 60's.

so? whats wrong with that, we got techno in the combat scenes, "Home on the waste" and the legendary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtBgcnV8Ztw&list=PLAD77B838F0F9E6A2&index=18 and non of those songs were made in the 50s, 60s. If it fits it fits



also i wanna say I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan and i love almost all his songs. I'd say Johnny Cash has a somewhat cheerful / hopeful tone to most of his music, but most of those songs wouldn't fit into the depressed, war never changes mottoed of the fallout world. Their only a handful of songs that'll truly fit into the fallout world, and im talking about the post 70s

Johnny cash would have fit in perfectly into the western themed New Vegas but i doubt the same can be said for the upcoming fallout.

Big difference between ambient music and radio music. Home on the Wastes wasn't too far off, either. It sounded like Sawyer recorded it in a garage, but the effect worked imo.

How about Radioactive from image dragon here's a link to the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu-xFvLaE68 I know its new but it does fit the theme.

I don't know where the idea that Fallout radio music had to be 50's tunes comes from. There were no 50's tunes in Fallout 1 or 2 ~not even the title tracks that represented their post war society. [Kiss to Build a dream on was a 30's tune that Armstrong recorded in '51]

Fallout was about their new generation of people born after the war and living with the aftermath/ with exceptions for the very long lived mutants and ghouls who were also living in the wrecked remains of the pre-war 50's idealized future.

The ambient tracks in FO 1 & 2 represented the attitude and atmosphere of the areas where they were heard... No 50's vibe in Junktown or the Hub, or NCR... nowhere but perhaps in Vault 13.

There were no 50's greasers hanging out ~~like the Tunnel Snake, [which I looked at as a mistake btw]. The Kings in NV made sense only because it was Vegas; IMO.

Well, I have a lot. Unless you really want me to post all of them just ask. But anywho, here's some music I'd like in the game that would fit in with the setting and '50s cultural ideals and whatnot:

Some Johnny Cash songs; Ring of Fire (good intro song), I Walk The Line, Big River, Folsom Prison, etc.

Put some [censored] Elvis in there! Hound Dog would be good, as well as Devil in Disguise.

Also, I'd like some Chuck Berry and some Little Richard in there, as well as the usual suspects.

I like the idea of having ambient music for when you're out and about in the Wastes, the more retro-sounding 50's stuff when you come by a radio, etc. And then when you're in a town or something, I don't see why you couldn't do something like what Infinite did and have some new standards, but redone in a style that fits the setting. I could see a bunch of settlers sitting around a campfire with cobbled-together instruments doing a Wasteland version of a more current standard, for example.

Or sneaking up on a group of Raiders humming a six Pistols song or something.

With all of this, however, it's also important to keep an eye on overall tone. Fallout's got a unique setting (how far and way Bethesda took things is another topic entirely,) and you risk washing that out by incorporating too many different artistic influences. I think you could feasibly fit more contemporary songs in Fallout, but you'd always have to keep an ear towards making sure it's all been properly contextualized and that it all "sounds" as if all these songs fit in the same game.

Fallout needs a Jhonny Cash song, preferably "I Shot a Man in Reno."

Was just about to say that but forgot. That's in my top 10 for Fallout 4.

Nothing to see here.
