Forums: Index > Fallout world discussion > Most "Fallouty" song

Whilst playing Fallout 1, I left my ITunes playing and when the song "Wherever I may Roam" by Metallica played I was just like "Shit, this fits Fallout so much". Post up which song you believe fits Fallout the most that isn't within its own track.--Mastererium 06:22, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

There's a number of songs that come to mind: Just the Right Bullets by Tom Waits, The Last Ride by Johnny Marr + The Healers, The Last Good Day of the Year and Damn These Hungry Times by Cousteau.--OvaltinePatrol 17:35, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

Blown Away by Pixies, or of course, Feel Good Hit of the Summer by Queens of the Stone Age as my char sinks into a desperate cascading wave of various drug addictions. 18:10, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

Civilisation (The Ongo-bongo song) that you hear in Fallout 3. I just think it had the humour, pre-war cheesy style, and nuclearness just right. Agent c 23:14, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

He meant a song out of the Fallout universe. So like no Rat Pack songs with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Ink Spots, and Louis Armstrong. I like Linkin Parks song Catalyst. The video and song itself really reflects a Fallout scene and theme of the Fallout franchise.--Zachattak471 00:23, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Even outside of fallout, its still the most fallouty song I've heard. Agent c 01:38, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Agent c, outside of its soundtrack I said. There's more Fallouty songs than the ones in the games.--Mastererium 07:02, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

I think it depends on what you are doing. If you are at the end of one of the games I say Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold. Or, if you are just going around the wasteland kicking ass, One of These Days by Pink Floyd.

Helps if you chuck your name in :D But I'm referring to like what song fits the general atmosphere you know?--MetallicaFTW. 12:55, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

"Banned in D.C" by the Bad Brains. Play this when Im storming through the Capital Wasteland causing havoc. "Dawn Patrol" by Megadeth. Good song about the end of the world due to Nuclear obliteration, could be analogy for the BoS and campaign to eradicate Super Mutants "now I can only laugh as i read our epitaph, we end our lives as moles in the dark of Dawn Patrol. "Vault Dweller (13)" by Stonehelm. Stoner-Heavy metal band who actually wrote a song about the Vault Dweller leaving Vault 13 and entering the Wastes. Birchman34 17:31, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Some may disagree and tink im crazy but i discovered theses by accident by just playing fallout and listening to music but System of a down : chop suey and tool : stinkfist please try them and tell me ( also korn : liar)

Looking through ruins of the Great War hundreds of years later might evoke a sense of nostalgia-by-proxy, a feeling I also get from Thanks For Chicago, Mister James, by Scott Walker--OvaltinePatrol 07:58, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

For a song that can be evidence of what the world CAN become, I implore you to look no further than The Pacific's song called Honor, as composed by Hans Zimmer. Titan AEX4 04:42, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Electric Funeral by Black Sabbath. User:Saxony4

I think anything by Phillip Glass is quite 'fallouty', simply because it's quite depressing and bleak sounding, yet beautifull at the same time. It quite matches the emotions felt when simply wandering the wastelands and seeing these depressing images such as burnt out buildings, ruined rusting playgrounds and ravaged parks and campgrounds.

one for after you leave the fault could be fade away by breaking benjamin. [some lyrics] it's over i didn't want to see it come to this. [leaving the vault] i wnder if i will ever see your face again. [amata or dad. tight song. and where ever i may roam thats a great fallout song.--69.99.252.17 00:48, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

For fallout 2 you gotta hear Revolution man by union underground. I think Bombshell by Powerman 5000 fits all of the games as well. Zac hemker 02:05, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

For me, the most Fallouty song is this: Nat King Cole - Stardust. It has just that right amount of nostalgic sentimentality, reminicing of a lost past and is the right musical style for the FO universe. 124.169.229.35 01:25, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Any rock n' roll from 1951-1965 does it for me. Anything more modern just sounds... wrong. --GaussRifle 01:30, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

This is an absolute winner for a great Fallout song: Dean Martin - Memories are made of this. [1]

I agree completely with Agent c, Civilization is just perfect, and the irony of the last line just made me laugh when I first heard it. SupremeCommanderGrief (talk) 09:46, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

I think Orange Coloured Sky ( my favourite song)which was used in the new vegas commercial would describe fallout. It makes me feel like he is singing about an apocalyptic world then a love song Topple101 (talk) 12:36, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

I would go with "What a wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. It has that moodiness, it's the right kind of time period and makes sort of an ironic statement about the fallout universe.

Honestly the entire Nightmare album that Avenged Sevenfold did fits perfectly with this game as if the songs were written about the Courier.

Anabasis by Dead Can Dance.

The Theme to the movie 'Dead Man' by Jim Jarmusch - composed by Neil Young. also: 'Radar Love' by 'Golden Earring' as well as 'Simple Man', 'Mississippi Kid' and 'Free Bird' all by Lynyrd Skynyrd
