Fallout Why All The Music And Theme Is 30s to 50s
The persecution of rock and roll so that could be the reason we don't hear the rock from those eras.
In the Fallout universe the people that persecution rock won and Rock never gained as much popularity as it did. After the great purge of music, music artists got scared that there music would be next so only the big names that people liked continued with music like Dean, Frank, ink spots and etc., and were received well and after they all died music industry ended leaving us with what Fallout is.

So over all Music that fits with the old jazz and other music from that time period can be used and Bethesda has show this in FO4 with
The Wanderer" released in 1961
"The End of the World" released in 1962

Fallout New Vegas
Blue Moon was recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1961
Ain't That A Kick In The Head released in 1960 by Dean Martin

Future Fallouts
New York will have to have Sinatra's cover of "New York, New York" wasn't recorded until 1979 and was released in 1980

All I'm saying is so fallouts music isn't just 30s to 50s it can probably go newer if it has the old style and jazzy I'm not suggesting it to add ACDC and all that, just some of the classics from the 60s 70s and 80s with the older style. Over all it adds the crap load of more songs we should see in future fallout games that's all

As you've already hinted at "New York, New York" likely would only appear in a Fallout game set in New York city. It would be odd for it to play while you're running around New Vegas for instance.

"Blue Moon" was recorded in 1961 but the song was written in the 30's and still retains that vibe for the most part.

"The Wanderer" was actually released earlier in 1961. The © date there means little. This song sounds more modern than most of the other tracks in my opinion.

"The End of the World" was recorded and released in 1962 and always struck me as sounding far too modern and not fitting with the other tracks. Just my opinion obviously..

"Ain't That A Kick In The Head" wasn't written by Dean Martin, just performed by him. I'm not sure if Dean Martin ever actually wrote a song in his life.

Sinatra's cover of "New York, New York" wasn't recorded until 1979 and was released in 1980, so I guess technically you're advocating that 80's music be put into the Fallout games!

good one but I dont see then adding it, possible if Interplay continued with Wastland and not have to make fallout I could see that being used

If they had put Franky in New Vegas, I would have rather had his version of Luck Be a Lady, personally.

Well we know that fallout has music from the 60s when the members of black Sabbath and judas priest were not only alive but also making music by then. So it's safe to assume there would be judas priest and black Sabbath in the fallout universe too. Probably all their records were burnt for being devil music though in the United States which is why we don't hear them.

But I guess I can be glad that there are no Beatles music in fallout.

♥♥♥♥ I forgot about the persecution of rock and roll so that could be the reson we dont hear the rock from those eras or the Brittish invasion never happend if you know about the history of rock and roll and that also explains the 50s vibe the people that persecution rock won and it never gained as much popularity as it did one day the should make some excuse why

Yeah it kinda makes sense to me..like Beatles and led zeppelin and black Sabbath etc probably exists, but America probably succeeded in burning all that type of "devil's music" middle America during the golden age hated so much.

It could just be that the music we do hear in the game is the only intact recordings the local DJs were able to find.

Yeah, because they burned all the devils music and banned it from the country.

You know who had ears? The devil! And he used em for hearing!
