The World we Knew by Frank Sinatra. Its simply amazing and kinda fits in with the theme a bit even. Imagine this playing as you enter a huge vast landscape from a vault or something.

That is interesting but don't they use original music? Or am I wrong

NO
Muse-Knights of Cydonia has to be patch in !!!!!
Or bather make it the official song of all Fallout games it describes the fallout game play perfectly!
No ones take me alive!!!! take this legion/mutants/enclave
make a emergency patch!!!

What? v.v

what do you mean original music?

the thing tehy play on the radio in FA3!

and yes they have to ad some more songs to the game, they are good but we need more of it so its not the same all the time

I think that song is from 1967, so it wouldn't be used for Fallout. The songs used in Fallout are ones during or before the 1950s.

Also a topic just for one song? seems pointless to me.

Edit: I don't mean songs from the 1960s can't be in Fallout. Personally I would like songs by famous people that were famous before the 1960s to be in Fallout. Early 1960s would be the best. I was attempting to point out that the history of Fallout's music selection doesn't bode well. To bad I didn't just say that in the first place.

I'd enjoy hearing some Johnny Cash, mainly Walk The Line and Folsom Prison Blues.

Hmm... wonder if the radiation created a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people-eater?

I know but I still believe it could work. Also this topic isn't about one song, I merely titled it that so that people would be curious. Feel free to discuss other songs that should be in FO or just about the music in FO in general and what we should change.

They Can't Take that Away from Me: Ella Fitzgerald and Lious Armstrong

Actually, Most of the songs in Fallout are from the 1940's and 30's. The 60's could arguably fit.

It's just the 50's attitude.

And you call yourself a Fallout expert!

Rock around the clock-Hal Singer (1946)
G.I. Jive-Louis Jordan (1945)
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammo-Kay Kyser (1944)
A Kiss to Build a Dream On-Louis Armstrong(1951)
It'll Be a Hot Time in The Town of Berlin (1944)
Fly Me to the Moon+Come Fly With Me-Frank Sinatra
Straighten Up and Fly Right-Nat King Cole (1943)
Mercy Mr. Percy-Varetta Dillard (1953)

Maybe some more songs. Just a little list.

I did say "during or before the 1950s"

Adding more:
Orange Colored Sky: Nat King Cole
Dear Hearts and Gentle People (why was this not in 3?)
Stars Fell on Alabama: Ella Fitzgerald
I've got a Crush on you : Ella Fitzgerald
Unforgetable: Nat King Cole

There are so many songs I like by Sinatra, but I don't think Bethesda would be Willing to pay for them Sinatra is just so damn perfect, if they ever did want to dish out the money for it, I'd pay an extra 5-10 buck for the game!

I'm 90% sure the divergence wasn't caused by Sinatra deciding to stop recording music once the 50s were over.

And when did I say that it was?

I am not against music from the 1960s being in Fallout as long as the people behind the song were popular before and during the 1950s. I was just pointing out that the history doesn't bode well for songs after the 1950s being in Fallout.

Why is there no Viva lasvegas from "The King" in FNV?

Bring the King!

When you said "I think that song is from 1967, so it wouldn't be used for Fallout.", in regards to a Frank Sinatra song.

Why not?

*There was a 1967 in Fallout's world, though I doubt there was a Woodstock in '69.

The original Fallout used the Inkspot track as the 'world that was'; all of the music in Fallout could have easily been styled as 50's pop had they wished, but it was apocalyptic/atmospheric to the areas in the game, and had no hint of their dead 50's idealzed 2076. In Fallout 2 the music was tribal; urban; western; eerie-aftermath'ic'; not Buddy Holly and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X31GQTS7C1c.

I see no reason against having a 50's inspired 60's or even 80's... just imagine how someone like Bill Haley might sound like singing about radiation or their style of cold war 80's.

* I see no reason not to have an MP3 player; so long as it was like they would have built it.

** Originally it was not about being locked in the 50's; it was about the 50's idealized future ~and that would include a pop 50's envisioning of a laser rifle, a rail gun, cell phones, space stations, bionics, and I would think even music. IMO 50's inspired original music about the topics and events of far later decades (or centuries), would have been equally or more appropriate than licening 40's and 50's music for anything but the title.
(Though I will say I was shocked they did not license http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDxfjLnWUkQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDxfjLnWUkQ to work in somewhere).

This is cool... its not Fallout related, but I swear parts of it seem like it could have been.

Because if they included an elvis track, it would have been the only track, by anyone, in the game. They cost that much to license.

I didn't intend to say that it had something to do with the timeline split or that songs couldn't go into Fallout if they were from the 1960s. Just that the history of Fallout doesn't bode well for it. That's all I meant. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I can't name a specific song, as I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to that era of music. I will say that there should be ALOT of that style music, as in triple or even quadruple the amount that's in New Vegas.

I usually have the radio on, and while there is a good variety, there simply needs to be more.

Kinda off topic, but I want there to be "radio shows". I believe F3 had one, it was about that old guy(Dangerous Dan?) who lived in Tenpenny tower. That sort of radio entertainment adds alot IMO.

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.

Could take a page from Fallout New Vegas, and have J.E Sawyer write and preform songs for Fallout 4
