Has anyone been turned onto old timey music due to the Fallout games?

[-$ilver-]

I'm just curious if any one has been turned onto this type of old time music. When I first heard a radio being played in game I did not quite catch the tune, not something I had heard before, but I felt the vibes and it made me smile. The more I listened to it, either from other people's radios or if making a long trek my own radio, I am beginning to hear music I have heard before while others like Dean Martin I recognized both by voice and name. Like the era of Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr., Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, etc.

I am mostly speaking to the newer/younger generations (I am not that old to be honest, just grew up with it and occasionally enjoy easy listening music.) who have grown up on mostly heavy metal, punk, techno, rap, alternative, etc. Has the music turned you off or onto the genre of the classics? Do you search for this kind of music now out side the game or only enjoy or put up with it due to the nature of the game?

Does anybody listen to it mostly while trekking, using their Pip-Boy? Or do you only listen to it when you come to radios that are playing it inside buildings and what not? I find the latter more appealing and realistic, although I guess much like having a car, you would play the radio while traveling.

The Fallout series introduced me to the hits of way back when and it has made me both love and appreciate such music. I listen to it quite a bit.

sad part is that they'll never make them like they used to

no more new tracks from said singers or bands and if they were to remake them today they just wouldn't have the same pisazz like they used to

I do not totally agree with that. They can be done again, IF people wanted to do it or people wanted to listen to it. If you wanted that same exact sound, they would also have to do it on the old platforms or at least synthesize it. I will post some examples, maybe you will agree in part or not at all.

Perry Como did a cover of a song, most of you know it from The Fugees, called Killing Me Softly. This was probably before any of The Fugees were a glimmer in their daddy's eyes as it was back in the early 70's. Some think it was Frank Sinatra and it does sound like him in parts, but it is in fact Perry.

Michael Buble sings with the old feeling in some of his songs.

Postmodern Jukebox got that old world feeling to it for sure. They redo a lot of the newer ones to fit the tone, complete with instruments and outfits.

Huh they sound similar but missing something



Idk it must also relate to the equipment used to record said music. Think about it. good example are the songs before the senstive mics were first invented (that lead to croonners or however theyre spelled) they needed to play loud enough and scream or talk loud enough for the mics to pick up on the sound.

Plus they lack the raw i guess passion that could only really be captured at the time. Sorta like listening to a regular sound track, the live concert version, and actually being there in person to hear the concert. It's the same song but the experience is 100% different in all cases. No amount of current audio recording technology can really capture the moment.

Well although they use bass for the Postmodern Jukebox, they also use drums. Back in the days, as far back as I can recall or know about, drums (set) were not used, that was the sole purpose of the bass, the true bass. It's tones were made from plucking, maybe strumming and had a softer after effect. Drums are fast, harsh and loud.

Recording equipment as well as records or what ever they were initially called, made it sound a certain way as well. Here is a live version of the Seven Nation Army by the same retro band. Maybe it suits you better.

Nah, I've always been into "old timey" music. I had Marty Robbins Gunfighter Ballads on vinyl when I was a kid which included Big Iron and 160 acres.

Some old blues, some from before the '50s, fits in well enough to the game also, there's a mod for that. Also lots of other stuff from before then fits in ok I think, not to mention '50s stuff. The blues stuff fits in well to NV though I think.

Yeah it's the bees knees.

I always ran with radio and music mods ect. But sure the default music is the bees knees and like most of it I guess.

One of my favorites from the game.

I'll listen to almost anything I've heard from a video game or movie.

Only the exact songs or you branch out in the genre of that kind of music?

Yeah, I'll branch out by artist and/or genre. Songs played on iconic scenes from films,and such. Meme music. Dead Rising 2 got me hooked to Celldweller for a while, Killing Floor 2's Soundtrack is good too, and I'm still lurking around Youtube for Synthwave and 20s'- early 60s' music; introduced to me by the Hotline Miami and Fallout franchises respectively. That's how I jump on band-wagons.
