As I recall bethesda promises some music selection. Apparently the Pipboys on the east coast are also I-pods (and those poor vault dwellers on the west coast got inferior products!). Well, given Bethesda reinvention/destruction of the game, what should be on the box? Furthermore, what should the theme song be?

Folks, try to be consistent with the fallout franchise and canon. I know Bethesda doesn't think that's important as they own the license and I fully expect Megadeath to be a Bethesda Pipboy option. However, if we all got to rape the franchise like Bethesda, than we'd be partially responsible for putting the Fallout Franchise into the gutter of used-up has-beens.

I'd like to think there are some of us here who continue to celebrate the beauty of the game and who refuse to partake in Bethesda's fashion of using and degrading our little jewel of a game.

As for me, I think Inkspot's "I don't want to set the world on fire" would be / is a great choice.

It would be ironic if Bethesda went with the Inkspots, "I am not the same old me." To which the Fallout fans could response with the Inkspots "you're breaking my heart."

I wonder- what are the odds that the developers listen to the Inkspots?

(interested in listening to the Inkspots and you're in the US- try this link- Inkspots Radio - its a pandora station and they mix in music that follows a similiar 'genome' as the Inkspots).
 
They should definitely stick with the dark ambient which was predominant in Fallout 1 and 2. Sad, depressing, mysterious, sending a chill down your spine. That's the music theme which fits a desolate, ruined world, the world of Fallout, the best, in my opinion. If they'd make music in this vein i would probably buy the soundtrack.

As for the theme song, i dunno, i'm not much of a 50's man, and don't know much about music from that era. But, what about that song that was in that teaser trailer? Wasn't that the Inkspot's "I don't want to set the world on fire" ? I thought, since it was in the trailer, it was already the theme song for the game.
 
Correction, you are correct. That is in the demo. Well at least that was a good choice. What I am really curious about is the rest of the musical selection. Please no thrash metal.
 
As far as in - game music goes, ambient/dark ambient is a pretty obvious choice with Mark Morgan being numero uno on my wishlist. If not than perhaps Lustmord - he does pretty well when it comes to making long, chilly tracks with an industrial aftertaste here and there. My other choice might be Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto: minimal electronic background with minimal piano topping, rather nice for peaceful locations/intensifying the feeling of alienation and loneliness. So yeah, generally electronic industrial and/or minimal.
Beth's choice with the theme song is a single good news in a sea of diarrhoea but since we're in the world of fantasy, here are some music suggestions I'd fancy: Al Bowlly ('Don't Say Goodbye' or 'Midnight With The Stars And You' or nearly anything else by him and Ray Noble), Doris Day & Bing Crosby - 'Baby It's Cold Outside' and Billie Holiday - 'I'll Be Seeing You'. Yes, that would be nice.
