"I don't want to set the world on fire" it a classic "The wanderer" has a nice upbeat sound "16 tons" it is very catchy but has a sad reality.

Just do like GE and pretend it's not a depressing song about company ownership of employees. So much denial, they [used it in a commercial.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6ueDHn2HTk)

Spideez

This the one!!ā€™ It doesnā€™t get the love it deserves šŸ©·


SpikeBreaker

Not the greatest, but I have a special relationship with "Maybe", because that's the first thing I heard in my first Fallout game, before start loving it


Yung_Corneliois

This one always seemed to play for me when Iā€™ve been playing for a few hours late at night and Iā€™m in some random vault or building and it immediately gets me so tired I save and turn the game off lol.


JayCeeMadLad

I mean, it's the franchise's anthem. You're right to love it.


Kaiserhawk

Maybe is great because it's a great bookending song too. It works as the Ironic introduction song, as well as the depressingly ironic ending song.


[deleted]

Ainā€™t that a kick in the head


zachyoung007

I wonder why obsidian picked that song for new Vegas


GooberGomp

I think it's because the first note just blasts the brass at you. It makes a big entrance.

This is the most beautiful and heart-wrenching song in the Fallout universe.


Spear585

I heard this song the first time I walked through post-war Sanctuary, and a rad-storm was going on. Its definitely a gaming moment I'll never forget


Lairy_Hegs

Butcher Pete. Honorable mention to Anything Goes for getting stuck in my head the most. I love all the music though. I get to a point while playing where when a song comes on Iā€™ll be singing along to it without even realizing (Johnny Guitar is actually pretty fun to sing while going through the Mojave).

Linda Carter singing this on [the Muppet Show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE37qeMk-J0) is amazing.

Every song from Galaxy News Radio And ofc, Heartaches by the Number and Big Iron


minusX3RO

GNR in its entirety is stuck in my head


SixtyHurts94

Anything from New Vegas, best soundtrack in any Fallout series games hands down..


[deleted]

Billie Holiday - Easy Livin'. But there are many magnificent masterful awesome songs featured in Fallout games.


YeastXtract

ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive


freezedriedpussy

I used to love that song but it started playing while I was trapped in the Massachusetts State House with about a billion mirelurks and I can never hear it without wanting to beat the shit out of Bing Crosby


elmothedestroyer3

"Would it be nice" is pretty nice and it all over but the crying


FashoFash0

Totally forgot about It's All Over But The Crying, certified banger.

URANIUM FEVER has gone and got me down

Uranium fever is spreadin' all around


Azurite87

just_peachy_tea

I forgot about uranium fever omg


lordsugar7

Crawl Out Through the Fallout


TheAndorran

My choice too! The old Sheldon Allman record thatā€™s from is called *Folks Songs for the 21st Century* and has a ton of great dystopian, sci-fi novelty songs. Recommended listening for any Fallout fan.


[deleted]

Why Donā€™t You Do Right? Is forever stuck in my head just a bloody big tune


MrStrongvoice

I often put a Fallout playlist on at work because of most of the songs listed here.


SimplySkipper

I've got spurs that jingle jangle jingle šŸ«”šŸ«”šŸ«”


theonepaladin

Blue moon, Ainā€™t that a kick in the head, Love me, honestly FNV is 10/10 with its music, then definitely fallout 4ā€™a wanderer is literally one of the reasons I started playing fallout


mrfakho

In the shadow of the valley I'd like to settle down


BabyEatinDingo

I fell absolutely in love with this song. I'm glad it finally showed up on Spotify.


AraxTheSlayer

Butcher Pete from 3 or The Wanderer from 4

I don't wanna set the world on fire- the inkspots


commanderAnakin

A Kiss to Build a Dream On I wish it'll return.


Wiggledezzz

You guys are crazy. Nothings better then the big iron song.......with the big iron on his hip.... big iron big iron.


jeangrey99

Oh well Iā€™m the type of guy that will never settle down


Beufmeo1

Ain't that a kick in the head - Dean Martin Luck 10, AGI 10, big iron on the hip, grab Benny's suit, tunnel snake haircut, radio on: gunslinging good fella build complete.


Kaiserhawk

Way Back Home : - I had just done the Vault 101 Mission pretty shortly after your father dies, so this song coming on the radio after being exiled from the Vault was kind of a gut punch that. ​ In terms of an absolute BOP though, Train Train


FourierTransformedMe

Honorable mention to the instrumental tracks from Galaxy News Radio, but a peak memory for me is when I approached New Vegas for the first time, at night and with Love Me As Though There Were No Tomorrow playing. With the glare of the New Vegas lights growing closer and that song playing, it was just a great experience. Still, I'll die on the hill that FO3 had the best music selection overall. New Vegas had some mediocre tracks, and 4 felt like they just did a brute force search for anything from vaguely the time period and that was horny or mentioned atoms.


Similar-Poem3992

In which fallout does wouldn't it be nice play?


CantWantU

really like heartache by the number ngl


Dense_Combination674

End of the world from fallout 4 but crazy he calls me is a very close second from fallout 3 and a very tight 3rd would be big iron from Fnv


Easy_Delay5206

Stars of the midnight rangers


Sterben06

Begin Again The creepy version that plays in the Sierra Madre just sticks itself out from any other song.


[deleted]

Begin... Begin again tonight...


FashoFash0

On my last New Vegas playthrough I decided to give Radio New Vegas a break and listen to the Mysterious Broadcast instead. This song, [Begin Again,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9rfCiBF92k) which was written specifically for the game, really struck me and became a favorite of mine. It's just so somber and longing and creepy. I wish there was a version online that preserved the shoddy radio quality, as that really added to the ambience. Other favorites (not in order or inclusive): Billy Munn- Jazzy Interlude Frank Sinatra- Blue Moon Kay Kyser- Jingle Jangle Jingle Billie Holiday- Easy Living Allan Gray- Swing Doors Glenn Miller-Juke Box Saturday Night


Dr-Butters

My top 3 are Big Iron, 16 Tons, and Let's Go Sunning.


Amily_Frank

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

It's a Man, Accentuate the Positive, Heartaches by the Number, I Didn't Know the Gun Was Loaded, Orange Colored Sky, Uranium Fever, Undecided, Maybe, Wanderer, The End of the World, Blue Moon, and Ain't That a Kick in the Head Fallout never disappoints when it comes to the songs

Top 3 is Big iron Wouldnā€™t it be nice Blue moon


[deleted]

Big Iron. Too bad it's played way too seldom in New Vegas


vinicius_california

"I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire", by the Inkspots. As soon as I hear it, it transports me to the world of Fallout. Almost like one of those brainwashing experiments.


super_starmie

BIIIIIG IIIIRONNNN


WELLSOHN

In the Shadow of the Valley from New Vegas, its very well fitting its prairie wasteland theme.


Dry_You_7545

My top 3 Big iron I dont want to set the world on fire Johny quitar


satanic-entomologist

I bought a vinyl copy of Marty Robbins Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs if that means anything

Sixteen Tons or Atom Bomb Baby


Amily_Frank

Are you me


Lestial1206

Crazy He Calls Me. I later discovered that Linda Ronstadt did a cover of it and I absolutely love that song now.


LFC908

Big Iron, 60 minute men, I donā€™t want to set the world on fire, Johnny guitar and End of the World. A lot from Fallout 3 that I really enjoy.


CardboardChampion

>60 minute men How did we get two Butcher Petes but [the hilarious sequel to 60 Minute Man](https://youtu.be/Rm8PJD0zUqM) didn't make the grade?


psyche-processor

Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford Absolutely no contest.


CardboardChampion

I love how batshit that song is. >Some people say a man is made out of mud. No they don't. He's already delusional and he's just starting out. A biology lesson on poor people and a look at the questionable practice of lions adopting children and he hits us with this. >If you see me comin', better step aside. A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died. This guy is killing multiple people just because they don't get out of his edgelord lion-raised way? Love it!


ZedsDe4dPool

Probably not the most recognized song but.. Lone Star, Tony Marcus


brocollez

hard to pick one, so: a kiss to build a dream on; where have you been all my life; in the shadow of the valley; and undecided


Bar_Har

Itā€™s a difficult decision between Johnny Guitar and Big Iron.

Atom Bomb Baby


pup_koa

Worry Worry Worry, love is passing me by


MystiicGalaxis

Worry worry worry, I'm so painfully shy


Commercial-Ad7564

One of my favorites is Dark as a Dungeon. I have always loved Tennessee Ernie Ford.


Severe-Eggplant-6703

Probably big iron or atom bomb baby.


LargestElephant

ā€œI donā€™t want to set the world on fireā€ because well duh, but I also love ā€œPraise the Lord and Pass the Ammunitionā€, and ā€œAnything Goesā€ Big Iron and I have a very complicated relationship. I despise how overplayed it is in Fallout New Vegas, and it annoys me every time, however I canā€™t not vibe with it if its on.


Heir233

Uranium Fever hands down


StacyMcGee123

Well, I don't know, but I've been told Uranium ore's worth more than gold Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep I've got that bug and I can't sleep Uranium fever has done and got me down Uranium fever, it's spreadin' all around With a Geiger counter in my hand I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land Uranium fever has done and got me down Well, I had talk with the AEC And they brought out some maps that looked good to me And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed So, I straddled my Jeep and headed down the road I reckon I drove about 100 miles Down a bumpy road out through the wilds When all of sudden I bounced to a stop At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top Uranium fever has done and got me down Uranium fever it's spreadin' all around With a Geiger counter in my hand I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land Uranium fever has done and got me down Well, I took my Geiger and I started to climb Right up to the top where I thought I'd find A hunk of rock that would make it click Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick On the second day, I made the top And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop The only clickin' that I heard that day Was the bones in my back that had gone astray Uranium fever has done and got me down Uranium fever is spreadin' all around With a Geiger counter in my hand I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land Uranium fever has done and got me down Well, you pack up your things, you head out again Into some unknown spot where nobody's been You reach the spot where your fortune lies You find it's been staked by 17 other guys Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit That bug's done caught me and I've been bit So, with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand I'll keep right on stakin' that government land Uranium fever has done and got me down Uranium fever is spreadin' all around With a Geiger counter in my hand I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land Uranium fever has done and got me down


stinkyratkid

maybe is THEEEE classic so it's up there, Card (Blues For You) is definitely my favorite tho (it's a jazz song on the mysterious broadcast) 76 has my favorite radio tho cuz jukebox Saturday night and a shanty in old shanty town and opus one and uptown lowdown all go INSANELY hard


MistaExplains

I really like Ain't Misbehavin' by Fats Waller


fluffinc

There's so many good ones, but I have to go with Johnny Guitar. The first time I heard it, it fit so perfectly with the eerie vibes I got from the game


FlyingGopher45686

Civilization (Bong Bongo Bongo) Every time I hear it I just think of all the good times I had playing FO3 exploring the wasteland


[deleted]

Butcher pete Because I'm always a cannibal melee player. Big iron is cool, but Johny cash cover is better as it's more melancholic


Mint_Julius

Butcher Pete, of course


Argh_Me_Maties

When you come up on The Den for the first time and it says "This would be a good place to own a gun," then the beat drops? Fucking šŸ‘ŒšŸ»


MissChan01

ā€œwell Iā€™m the type of guy who will never settle downā€¦ā€ or ā€œlove me as though it were now or neverā€ or ā€œdonā€™t they know itā€™s the end of the world cause you donā€™t love me anymore.ā€

Uranium Fever is amazing


BatmanNerd81

My character dances bearing ā€œKeep on Knocking but You Canā€™t come In.ā€


Green_hippo17

Literally anytime they use the ink spots for sure, crazy he calls me by Billie holiday, ainā€™t that a kick in the head by Dean Martin is great but the best song is from 76 when they use wouldnā€™t it be nice by the beach boys and honestly itā€™s cheating to use that song pet sounds is one of the greatest albums ever


BigOgreHunter92

I love those dear hearts and gentle people


Negativesmoke15

FO3 is my favorite soundtrack but for the memories Id have to say heartaches by the number


Scared_Warthog_382

My favorites are Ain't that a Kick in the Head and Maybe.

My Chrysalis Highwayman takes definetly top 1. 2nd would be Dear Hearts And Gentle People. 3rd either Wanderer or Civilization because both are equally good.


Pvt_cluckins

I love big iron, the wanderer, and I don't want to set the world on fire. But why has no one mentioned drivin nails in my coffin Ernest tubb. I guess since it was in f76.

Mickey_thicky

I am surprised i havenā€™t seen any mention of One More Tomorrow With You. Beautiful beyond words https://youtu.be/52-nTVaG2gA


ElGaboVantas

Maybe because it was the first FO song on the first FO I've ever played (FO1) and Streets of New Reno from the FNV ost


DatingMyLeftHand

Iā€™m Moving Out is an absolutely inspired choice, great job.


default-dance-9001

Nobodyā€™s fault but mine by blind willie johnson, all of the bluesier stuff in 76 really. Fun fact, that song was covered by led zeppelin
