What would you make FO3's radio stations play?

[Ketzerfreund]

Okay, so it had already been mentioned that there's a way to at least replace the .mp3s of the radio stations or add more music to them by using an audio editor.

I'd be interested to hear what people might want 3dog to play. I wouldn't change his style - that means, I wouldn't put, let's say, Slipknot, in.
I'd like to stay true to the original atmosphere of the stations and maybe also select the one or the other song for it's lyrics ("They've got things like the atom bomb. So I think I'll stay where I om.", anyone? )


So far I've got the following musicians on my list, and one of the things I miss most in 3dog's playlist is more of The Blues™:

Bessie Smith, "Nobody Knows You, When You're Down And Out":

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

.o(...Dogmeat stays true to me, at least...)

Leadbelly, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?":

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

.o(...I slept on a mattress somewhere in an old subway station. There were bloodstains on it and body parts were scattered around. That makes for some bad dreamin'...)

Sonny Boy Williamson II., "I'm A Lonely Man":

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

.o(...Sure I'm a lonely man. All interesting people out there fire at me as soon as I approach them...)

Howlin' Wolf, "Smokestack Lightning":

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

.o(...Only that my lightnin' is green and makes you flow down the hill, spending green light...)

But there's also some American folk music from the 30s-50s that would fit into GNR well for variation:
Woody Guthrie, "This Land":

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

.o(...This land is dead land, it gives death to you and me - wait a minute, I think I misheard the lyrics, what did he sing again?...)

When someday it's possible to create your own radio stations, I'll make one with some that covers the musical timeline from the early 60s to mid-70s (when The Beatles became popular, stuff like what 3dog airs still played on the radio, just like today they still play a lot of 80s music on the mainstream stations!), with some Hippie as radio host (Plaing The Mamas And The Papas: "When the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey..." ). I'd have to record him myself, but I' would dare to!


So, what are your ideas so far?

Anti-Communism music.

[Sebdeas]

Robert Johnson - Me and the Devil Blues

Bit earlier than most other music but great.

I think it would be especially fitting if the radios in Fallout played Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones.

I've just dug out this pretty gem from one of my 60s pop/rock samplers:

The Nice, "America":


Btw., last night I've tested my first few newly arranged radio music files in FO3, and it works fine so far, in spite of minor - mostly preventable - glitches.

-Der Ketzerfreund.

[Gerald The Herald]

LOL,kamos32, that's prolly the most appropriate song EVER ROFL!.
Personally I'd want 3dog to play either "Dies irae" or Beethovens 5th. Old ,I know ,but hey, it's far better than hearing Ella Fitzgerald griping, and far more soothing as you blast Enclave to smithereens
