I might be one of a kind in this regard, but to me the whole radiostuff was somewhat off -- musically speaking (there's nothing really off in having a radiostation). The songs fit with the theme, no doubt, but it kinda always felt strange that they were only playing songs that were well over 100 years old already when the Great War was happening. And when Three Dog and Mr. New Vegas were operating their stations, the songs were about over 300 years old. Was there no more music made after the 50's?
It's problematic, also, in that current day pop and rock music won't fit in at all, and making up a whole set artists and "50's inspired retrofuturistic" music genres and songs can be quite a task.
I prefer the actual old timey music. Sawyer has a lovely voice, but nothing compares to the real thing.
A nice mix of music. Fallout 3 took the first step with Agatha's song, which is the station I like the most in Fallout 3. New Vegas had the songs of the Lonesome Drifter by J.E. Saywer. I really enjoy the addition of wastelanders making their own music in Fallout. A radio station that plays music preformed by wastelanders, along with songs from the 1930s 40s 50s would be awesome IMO.
Why does all the music have to be 50-60s specific? As if no musicians made any music past the 60s. There should be varying stations, with different styles of music.
I find that early Neil Young makes for some very suiting tunes while traveling the wastes. Not tryn to diss Mr. New Vegas(Wayne Newton was perfect, cmon the real Mr. Vegas... Amazing) but there should have been more.
I also think it's all about style. Dates are completely unimportant. 'I'm Moving Out' and 'Goin' Under' are both new songs, not classics, and they're two of my favorites on F:NV. It's about sounding like they belong more than being released before X date. In NV, only about 1/3 of the songs (15) were 'classics', the rest were new songs by lesser-known artists.
Yeah, and I like music like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEdqqyxoWuA, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFRZvuLxv7g, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf20Effo6ds, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTRJZkNoSo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_pTSrOKNKs, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjriBwaUhKs and many others, but I FOR DAMN SURE DON'T WANT THEM IN FALLOUT!!!
