well if we're including music past the 50s...quite enjoyed wandering to deftones "hole in the earth" and pretty much the entirety of black sabbath's paranoid. I mean come on, planet caravan and electric funeral were practically made for this game.
Caravan themed song, definitely Fallout material. Lyrics fit perfectly. Doesnt actually fit to the scifi-retro atmosphere as a part of the game but is a nice song to have on a playlist running in the background. Great listening when you are fighting for your life in the wasteland fragging supermutants or raiders or whatever!
"Are you ready for the time of life It’s time to stand up and fight"
"The place is which we were born So neglected and torn apart"
"We’ll be living in the world of peace And the day when everyone is free"
Are you ready Are you ready Are you ready Are you ready Are you ready for the time of life It’s time to stand up and fight So alright So alright Hand in hand we take a caravan to the marble land One by one we gonna stand up with pride One that can’t be denied Stand up Stand up From the highest mountain of valley old We all shall together with heart of gold Now the children of the world can see This a better place for us to be The place is which we were born So neglected and torn apart
Every woman every man Join the caravan of love (stand up) stand up Stand up Every body takes a stand Join the caravan of love (stand up) stand up Stand up
I’m your brother I’m your brother don’t you know She’s my sister She’s my sister don’t you know
We’ll be living in the world of peace And the day when everyone is free Bring the young and the old Want you let chilled flow from your heart
Every woman every man Join the caravan of love (stand up) stand up Stand up Every body takes a stand Join the caravan of love (stand up) stand up Stand up
I’m your brother I’m your brother don’t you know She’s my sister She’s my sister don’t you know
So are you ready ( he’s coming ) Are you ready ( he’s coming ) Are you ready ( he’s coming ) Are you ready ( he’s coming on the caravan ) You better get ready ( go for it ) You better get ready ( go for it ) You better get ready ( go for it ) You better get ready

I don't it fits but I think that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28R3_3-BlXA would be epic, especially if you are like shooting off a Deathclaw's head or trying to survive a attacking swarm of Cazadors.
Oddly enough "I shot the sheriff" has a tendency of playing when I walk through primm in my powder ganger game. Also wouldn't mind a bit of Johnny Cash in the mix, this game doesn't quite have that 50s feel and it seems to fit better in my mind. oh and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv20M0iPnTg ...just 'cause

i'd like to see a few original songs, like an acoustic guitar and a guy singing about life in the wastes, that kind of thing, there's gotta be a few in the ~200 years
I have 4 different custom radio stations I made using music I own. One is Jazz and latin music, another is country/western with some country-rock (period appropriate, another is classical, and the last is an assortment of semi-appropriate music I just really like.
Here's a sample of my customized/modded radio station playlists including songs from more than one of the stations:
Miriam Makeba - House of the Rising Sun Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs (most of the album but particularly El Paso) Ramblin Jack Elliot - San Francisco Bay Blues Tito Puente - Mambo Gazon Machito - Cannonology Machito - Frenzy Sabu - Paulo Congo Count Basie (from the Album "The Complete Atomic Basie") - The Kid From Red Bank Buddy Holly and the Crickets - You've Got Love Buddy Holly - That'll be the Day Elvis Presley - In the Ghetto Fats Domino - Valley of Tears The Duhks - Rock of Ages Fats Domino - The Rooster Song Louvin Brothers - I'll be All Smiles Tonight Elvis Presley - I'm Counting on You Elvis Presley - Trying to Get to You Frank Sinatra - This Love of Mine Buddy Holly and the Crickets - Empty Cup Little Richard - Ready Teddy Tito Puente - Complication Unnamed Gospel Choir (recorded for TV Series Babylon 5) - No Hiding Place Patsy Cline - Never No More Billie Holiday - But Beautiful
I also threw in all the fallout 3 radio songs, and the inkspots and bennie goodman songs from fallouts 1-3.
In total, my custom radio stations have 250 tracks from my own collection. A large portion of that is music I imported from my dad's old masters using a turntable with optical audio out+optical input on my sound card and then remastered myself. Having variety really does improve the musical experience of the game (one reason to sometimes simply leave the radio off and listen to the great ambient/location tracks).
I do wish they incorporated an easy playlist import feature though!
