My favorite song in the franchise is probably “Dear Hearts and Gentle People”. I love the thought of wandering around DC with that playing as ghouls, raiders, and muties try to murder me.
“Lone Star” from New Vegas is another one of my favorites, I remember playing really late at night while walking to Jacobstown with Rex and that song played, just stuck with me.
Nice taste, a lot of people ignore the lesser common songs
Dear hearts makes me happy each time i listen to it. I love walking down the park listening to it while drinking my coffee on a sunny day
Lone star is the most underrated nv song
Nat King Cole's "Love me as though there were no tomorrow" is also God tier. Really brings a great romantic feeling to the Fallout world and fits perfectly
I wish he would of done Fallouts OST (the Ambient music) metallic Monks (Fallout 2/New Vegas) and Vault City ( FO2) is A tier
Dang… I typically stray away from Mr. House’s radio
I think Ain't that a kick in the head is the theme of NV personally. The 'kick' equating to the bullet the courier takes to the head at the beginning
That’s actually a really good description of it, I also think it encapsulates that feel of vegas (or new vegas in this case) and I don’t exactly know how to describe it but it’s like that grandiose loud intro in the start of “Ain’t that a kick in the head” like an explosion of lights and color and an all around swing of 50’s type music
and that's the name of the first mission too
“Under An Orange Colored Sky” is a imo a beautiful song that perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the Mojave.
That song isn't even in New Vegas. lol
@@axiomcomplex5579 It was in a commercial for New Vegas funny enough, although it wasn’t in a game until 4.
@@axiomcomplex5579 Shit youre right, must have mandela effected myself because of the commercial
You mean Orange Colored Sky
What about atom bomb baby? That one's honestly my favorite, the lyrics are hilarious and also somewhat grim which just perfectly fits with Fallout's tone.
It's trash-mid tier
Great tier for sure
That song is extra funny if you have seen the BBC's version of "The chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair" because the frog man in it lives in a wigwom and he talks about finding a lady to take home. So every time I hear that song I imagine him singing it.
YUCK
End of The World is definitely GOD Tier
I remember there was a bug early on with Johnny Guitar where it literally played as often as every other song on the radio combined. That’s not the case anymore and I’m glad. It’s a beautiful song when you’re not dying to listen to something else
Oh 😩 Johnny Guitar
Especially if you watched the film the song’s based on
I don’t want it set the world on fire is beyond god tier in my opinion
Similarly to how “Big Iron” has become the unofficial theme song to New Vegas, I consider “I don’t Want to Set the World On Fire” to be the unofficial theme song to Fallout as a whole.
@Sakata Gintoki just listen to it and decide the right choice this time
@Sakata Gintoki ofc it fits in fallout. Love is by far the furthest away from war as you can get. Love breeds life and good feelings, war ends life and breeds bad feelings like sadness, fear and hate. And the innocent meaning the ink spots had when they invisioned the worlds in flame, compared to the "real" flames the fallout world was born in. Perfect contrast imo
Correction:
Maybe by the Ink Spots is actually the theme song for fallout 1 not fallout 3, that would be "I don't want to set the world on fire" also by the Ink Spots
Fun fact: Interplay originally wanted to use I don't want to set the world on fire instead of Maybe but can't do it cause of licensing issues so we got Maybe instead
I've been playing Fallout New Vegas again and some of my favourite songs are Johnny Guitar by Peggy Lee, Mad About the boy by Helen Forrest, Blue Moon by Frank Sinatra, Big Iron, Heartache By The Number by Guy Mitchell and Why Don't you Do Right by Peggy Lee to name a few.
Those are actually all my favorite songs too
Nat King Coles “love me as there were no tomorrow” and Hal David’s “Where have you been all my life” are also god tier songs adding a romantic but also poignant feeling to the mojave.
Always had a soft spot for that Let's Go Sunning song. It's so upbeat and cheerful juxtaposing the grim reality of the reality of life in the waste so much it's damn near satirical. 😂
Are we all forgetting about Red eye ? He actually played his own music !! And it’s awesome … he’s the Real Deal man
he is indeed, THE REAL DEAL
I really enjoy Red Eye's stories, wish there were more.
@@detectivemadoka69420 same was basically a fallout podcast in game
@@ryanjamesbaldock5370 Yeah! It definitely felt like a podcast of sorts, i hope we get more stuff like that in the next Fallouts.
THEEERE WAS NEVER A MAAAAN LIKE MY JOOOHNYYYYY
PLAY IT AGAIN
My favorite is Just Mr. New Vagas. I absolutely love him, the lovely side commentary aside from the News going in The Mojave is a real joy to hear and adds to the world as well as the actions of the courier
*Vegas ,you weren't paying attention in spanish class, didn't you?
Rocket 69 is 100% a euphemism, as a lot of the songs from that time tend to be, I mean, just look at the lyrics "I'll make you mighty happy that I'm your girl. We'll fly through the sky and go out of this world. I'll bet you, sweet papa, I can make you feel mighty fine. When you take a little trip on a rocket 69."
Also, some of my personal favourites are Personality by Johnny Mercer, Civilization by Danny Kaye and the Andrew Sisters and Crawl out Through the Fallout by Sheldon Allman.
Bro she sounds like an obese ghoul. You want that such thing "makes you feel mighty fine"??
If it where sung by a guy, maybe, cuz i wouldn’t invision a 50yo women that could feed a whole super mutant camp for a month hitting on me in a way way to sexual tone. Its just disgusting and between all those wholehearted and beautiful romantic songs, outrageously displaced.
I was surprised Civilization wasn't on the tier list
Absolutely, I didn’t realize the first couple times I listened but as I heard the lyrics more I realized it was all a sexual euphemism (hence the name “rocket 69”)
I hate the song because the imagery it creates when he says “do you want to ride my rocket ship 69” just grosses me out. It’s too explicit for my taste
Uranium fever?
Personally, my favorite
It's gone and got me down!
Great
I may not agree with all the choices and lots I love you missed out on, but I love listening to peoples opinions and experiences with songs in the fallout series. I have songs tied to locations or memories and it's so awesome knowing others have similar experiences. Crazy how memories effect our love (or hate) for songs
I adore in the shadow of the valley. It's really melancholic but i like it so much
How can you do butcher Pete like that bruh, also blue moon has gotta be the GOAT of fallout music, enjoyed the vid
I fuc#$%* hat Johnny guitar, I'd make a whole tier below everything for it.
some very heinous takes but did love hearing about actual reasons as to why u didn’t like them instead of a lot of people who just say they don’t like smth without any arguments to back it up
My favorite thing about Fallout music is that they can go from cheery to haunting depending on the context.
Listening to "Maybe" in the middle of nowhere hits very different, so does "In the Shadow of the Valley" and "The End of the World"
I constantly flip foop between liking or hating Butcher Pete, normally depending on how long it's been since I last heard it.
The first couple times in a playthrough it can be fun but it soon gets grating and always seems to come on more than other songs.
I've been tempted to do a playthrough where I play as a guy driven insane by the song and whenever it comes on you have to go into a furious rage and kill everything around you.
Also, totally agree with you about the talking parts in Ink Spot songs, I don't like em.
New Vegas made me like country music lol
Anyway, my god tier song would be Jingle Jangle Jingle.
this and big iron 100%
That’s real old school country music. It made me love the classics as well. Modern country ain’t it though!
Recently I beat Fallout 1 and while the Mariposa Military Base self destruct sequence was counting down I played My Way by Frank Sinatra since the Vault Dweller memoirs mention it's lyrics as a possible favorite song of the main protagonist.
Hearing the loud chorus and orchestra boom over my speakers while the vats of FEV explode completely cemented Fallout 1 as my favorite along with the song.
I never clicked on a video faster in my life. The fallout music is goated
A few solid choices, a good lot of piss takes and not enough songs tier listed.
Playing FO4 with the Beatles Radio mod has forever spoiled the franchise for me
Fallout 2’s intro is iconic, but it wouldn’t have been the same without “A Kiss to Build a Dream on”.
good list and personally my favorites are definitely big iron, blue moon and the wanderer
Honestly, this is the kinda stuff true fallout fans talk about.
bruh Way Back Home is the goat, literally unwatchable now (I'm kidding, I do understand why the rhyming would be annoying and you are entitled to your own opinion regarding it), also I haven't seen a lot of people talk about it, but I really hate the fact that none of the later games brought back Rhythm for You even though it's my favorite track from Fallout 3, I always liked how the loudness of the track and its instrumentals give a quick feel in contrast to the ambience and quiet nature of the Capital Wasteland, while meshing well with the frantic nature of Fallout 3's combat, especially in close quarters where I find it fits as I'm blasting a raider's head off with a combat shotgun inside an office building.
Solid list. Actually the beautiful and melancholic "Maybe" was the Fallout 1 theme song; Fallout 3 had "I don't want to set the world on fire" from the same band. A nice touch, imo.
Which shows how much Bethesda cares about some things.
rocket 69 and 60 minute man over the end of the world and into each life some rain must fall is an atrocity
Finally, more songs I can add to my ever growing playlists.
Funny enough, when I first played New Vegas, the first radio song that played when I stepped out of Doc Mitchell’s house was Big Iron.
Instantly set the tone for me in the best way possible!
Nice Video!
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall - The Ink Spots.Thats almost the best song in the game and is in the tv show
I really love these songs, i do think the ambient songs should be included tho, something like Serenity or Metallic Monks is a great piece of music, even if not worded at all
Lone Star encapsulates the NV experience like no other
I’m happy someone also feel my prolonged exhaustion at listening to butcher Pete on the radio. Fun video
Yasssss. More fallout videos please. Doesn’t even matter if it’s topics that others have covered… please keep making fallout videos. I’ve been lost in the fallout universe for the last 10 years. Love everything about it. I literally fall asleep every night while watching fallout videos.
I just looked it up and the most recent song in fallout lore is one that came out in 2009 💀
Idk where you’d put it, but I was really happy to hear “ghost riders in the sky” in 76. I love pretty much any take of that song.
Let's Ride Into the Sunset together was released in 1998 and isn't the only song in New Vegas to be that recent, so why does Country Roads not get a pass? While I don't fully understand Fallout's cultural stagnation I think it makes sense for modern music that uses a retro style to exist because the alternative is people in the 2070's to be listening to the same songs for 100+ years without anything new being created.
will you make an enclave rank structure video?
Wow i was just planning on making one of these
I'd honestly be happy if you went over all of the other songs in different parts cause this is a good topic
You Aussies are built different - Johnny Guitar in the middle of the list, but Way Back Home fails? Holy shit
How would I email you for video ideas?
“I’ve got spurs that jingle jangle jingle!” 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
begin again in from old world blues is so fire, and it was literally sung by an intern at obsidian
How is no one mentioning I got spurs (that jingle jangle)
FUCK that one is ALSO a bop. I feel like all of the positive/happy/major key songs in New Vegas got skipped
As for the 1971 date of Country Roads, if you go back and look at early Fallout and especially tactics, a reference to Rolling Stones wouldn't really be out of place.
I love the mod which adds a CONELRAD radio to NV. The same old songs get boring often.
I remember I blew up the instituie and end of the world started playing it was so cinematic
Fallout 3's main menu track is the best piece of music in the series
A not small amount of fallout songs are from post 1950, hell, the vast majority of them are from the 40s and 30s. If anything the franchise needs more music from the actual cold war era in general, and yes that would include the 70s, 80s, and even some songs from 90s or even the 00s, the most important thing is that they're American in origin and fit some sort of niche in the aesthetic tree. I for one would love to see a song like Mr. Pinstripe Suit by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, or White Rabit by Jefferson Airplane, there is nothing inherently wrong with it since one is retro swing and the other is a psychedelic rocker. They can also pay to have someone cover a song if needed, like what they did with Country Roads and Ring of Fire.
Fallout plays in a world that ended in the 2070s. All prior to that decade is lore friendly. Cuz i doubt they stopped making new music in that timeline for over a century.
@@georgemurdock7670 Not necessarily, Fallout has a specific aesthetic that is trapped in the cold war, so while yes every song written is history since the main divergent point could be construed as *lore appropriate*, it certainly isn't friendly. Could you imagine getting into a fire fight with super mutants to the tune of Call Me Maybe? The songs need to fit the aesthetic to work, and effectively songs from the 2010s and 00s don't.
@@ez-bakeoven6797 😂
yeah but there where still people with lots of music tastes. You can get in our world in a fire fight in like ukrain while listening call me maybe or become witness of genocide while barbie girl plays on the radio. Our world pre cold war didn’t make sense all the time, or needed to fit asthetics, neither would the fallout world, a world with ghouls and fev, needs to. Ofc its better from a game play view, but not a must.
I live in Arizona and I really love it. It's really amazing and I'm glad fallout added big iron.
You put so much effort💎into your videos🎬editing💻them.
Can't wait🕓for your next vid🎞 keep up the great work⚙.
Maybe🤔you should do a video🎬about songs🎵that should be in Fallout☢
Damn, I love Butcher Pete! I used to love boppin away to it in Fallout 3 while I was running along, butchering Raiders 😆
I really hate Johny Guitar because it plays so much (at least for me) and is so monotonmous compared to other songs in New Vegas like Big Iron. It's a really different and slow pacing that I just can't get behind in a firefight.
Welp i do in fact love bucher pete RIP
one the note of Faction songs. The minutemen have radio freedom with all the fiddling on it. I believe Bethesda chose rather sort and simple songs so it was easier to interrupt with Bombardment messages.
A lot of The Beatles and some songs with Amy Winehouse could fit well into Fallout music style. I'd love to hear them on my pipboy😅
As a New Vegas Local Kick to the Head Embodies Vegas and New Vegas storyline
Butcher Pete is god-tier for me lmao
Lone star , heartaches by the number , and any ink spots really
Ghost riders in the sky from 76 is hella underrated, up there with big iron.
The first time I turned on the radio on new Vegas and big iron came on it that was a whole vibe 😂
my boi got ohne dich on his playlist fiiiiiirrrrrrree song do
I think we should have more music from different eras because the bombs hit in 2077 so why can’t we have 90s rock, pop, soul and stuff like that. I just think as long as it fits we it should be in it.
different timeline
@@thetenorplayer different time lines would work if dion and the Baltimore’s didn’t actually exist the wanderer wasn’t in 3 or new Vegas which means either 1 music is still being made or 2 they’re finding new music and then with country roads take me home which could go along with theory 2 idk if they say anything about how it’s got to be 50s music because I did some research before I came back to reply and now I’m not saying there needs to be 2pac, or usher, or heavy metal but there’s alot of songs past the 50s that I can see being in the fallout series as like lost but found songs
@@thetenorplayer There is already a bunch of rock and roll reference in the series.
End of the world is a special to me, it was part of a fake announcement for fallout 4 then ended up in the game. It’s the song I think of when Im reminiscing about the days before we knew how trash fallout 4 would be.
4:41 wait i always thought butcher peat was a serial killer please tell me im not the only one
I didn't catch the criteria for a song being rated on this list, but my favorite song in Fallout 4 is Atom Bomb. I remember I used to not even listen to the radio until maybe my 2nd or 3rd playthrough and I decided I was going try and endure listening to it while I played and then this song came on and I was just rocking to it. I credit it in large part to why I'll still occasionally play with the radio on. There are other good songs like Uranium Fever and of course The Wonderer, but nothing beats Atom Bomb!
another video idea, you should rank the OST of the games as well, i think that'd be a pretty cool vid.
It's criminal that uranium fever isn't on this list
First mod I download for fallout 4 is the fallout nv radio station mod, music just hits
You didn't put Civilization,If the FEV ever becomes real I will throw you in,why anyone wouldn't love that song,is so tastefully ironic
Yhe main thing I leaned from this video is that we are very diferent people. Train train is a banger and you're never gonna convince me otherwise.
Also as much as I love there music, we have to admit that pretty much all inkspot songs are the same; rhythmically, tonally, thematically.
Yep, that's my contribution.😊
16 tons is another one that is a banger to me
02:11 *Shoots Supermutants* Hee! Hee!
I enjoy "Train Train" from Magnolia, the rest lost my taste as I heard them more often.
Can't agree with "Butcher Pete", to this day "he's hackin' and whackin' and smackin'" is still stuck in my head and makes me smile. Maybe it's just nostalgia.
I also like "Grandma Plays the Numbers"
Different strokes, different folks.
Fallout 1 soundtrack should have its own separate category at the top
I can’t get that “hehe”
Out of my head now…
It's somewhat ironic to me that, despite being often regarded as the best in the series, New Vegas' song selection is pretty lacklustre to me compared to the other entries. Heck, even the first two, who really only had one song to their tracklist, both had total bangers with "Maybe" and "A Kiss to Build A Dream On". Fallout 3 and 4 just have so many great period appropriate tunes. "The Wanderer", "Atom Bomb Baby", "Anything Goes", "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire", the Institute classical station. And yes, that includes "Butcher Pete" and I will fight you on that.
Outside of "Jingle Jangle Jingle" and "Big Iron", the country station doesn't quite do it for me. And it also doesn't have Mr. New Vegas. Radio New Vegas is nice, but just doesn't reach quite the same levels of hype. Licensing issues really did that station dirty with the treasure trove of songs that would have fit perfectly. The best tracks are actually the ambient music from Fallout 1 and 2, which I don't count as they're just that. Though anyone who can stare out the windows of the Lucky 38 while "Radiation Storm" plays without shivers running down their spine is less human than Mr. House.
I know you said some more opinions, but big iron was a fact
will always associate rocket 69 with that on Rimmy Downunder vid on the frontier
I love Grandma Plays the Numbers though 😢
Honestly I feel like some of the original songs made for fallout four for magnolia to sing were severely underrated because most of them were absolute bangers and should be better appreciated *cough* *cough* train train *cough* *cough* (seriously I am so angry he put train train in the nope category)
No heartaches by the number??
TROUBLES BY THE SCOREEEEE
This tierlist is a war crime
I believe that Maybe belongs in god tier because of its use in fallout 1 in the opening scene
I think this guy wants to set the comment section on fire
New Vegas: Turn the radio on whenever. It'll be an okay time.
Others: Turn the radio on. Don't pay attention to it. Turn it off with stealth. Wince a bit with that butcher song.
76: Turn it off when the Dj comes on.
Train train is great! It references the railroad. Very relevant as the singer is a synth
I got Spurs was missing on this list but everything else was pretty much spot on.
I find Rocket 69 to be just as repetitive as Butcher Pete though...
Consider yourself an op if you like johhny guitar. Also no jingling spurs
butcher pete at nope is crazy
