Vault Senior Citizen
For me
Fo1: vats, master's lair, world map, raider, children of cathedral
Fo2: Vault city, new reno
FoNV: hover dam!, dgn4 mid,high( near camp guardian and Sunset sarsaparilla HQ) , endcredits

too bad fo1's worldmap and vats theme wasn't in NV's ost
 
Fallout Tactic's combat ambient was very good, if you ask me.

I liked a lot of Fallout's tracks because they managed to be spot on with the atmosphere. However, ones which could be taken out of context and remain decent are probably the Khan, Vault City, and World Map with Car soundtracks.
 
Gotta be Fallout 2 for me. I just loved the "My Chrysalis Highwayman" theme too much, but in general it had a bit more varied and interesting music than Fallout. Fallout's music was great too, perhaps a bit more atmospheric.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas went the radio track route, I think they both have good selections of appropriate songs but I'm still not sure I like the concept for Fallout.
 
Wow this thread becomes poll!
I can't choose! :crazy:
If it was bad ost, I definitly choose fo3 though.
I have to choose foNV because it has some of fo1,2's ost and
hoover dam's theme was great. too bad there's no theme of vats and fo1's world map theme.
 
Never heard Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel's soundtrack, and Fallout 3 is kind of so-so (too many pieces just feel like they've been written without keeping into account the atmosphere of the scenes, and in general it feels a bit too grand.. some pieces are good though).

I don't know if I could choose between Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas though. I guess I probably would write New Vegas off because of some pieces that don't fit well and the amount of reused tracks, but then again, Fallout 2 reused a bunch of tracks too.

Tactics, if I recall correctly, has just an okay soundtrack. Not bad, and definitely good in terms of capturing the atmosphere, but not really great either.
 
Fo2, same reason as BN wrote. Fo1 / 2 don't really take each other much, but Fo2 got some additional fancy tunes, which I like a lot. Though, for me, nothing can beat the Hub and Khans tracks.

I don't like the Fo3 soundtrack at all. FNV on the other hand is really good again- but also because of all the additional small ambient sound elements in the game and how the music is mixing up depending on where you are. (I mean the non-radio music)

OST is the common abbreviation for "Official Soundtrack", so if any particular movie's music caught your ear, or a band, or a game, you can always just hop on down to youtube and search "[subject] OST" and if it has a CD you'd get every track as a search result. (Yeah, I hunt OSTs quite often... I love music!)

For me, while it was close, I'd say FO2. FONV was the only real rival to that, because it had MOST of the tracks from the originals, on top of some new ones that were equally as atmospheric. For example, the Jacobstown theme echoes of just as much "dread" as "resolution", which fits the location perfectly, and the classic Glow track goes with the Lucky 38 like no other track I could imagine. Still, the entire set of tracks from the originals are what I love, and FO2 had them all (well, it lacked a few, like the original Vault 13 track, and the Cathedral/Lair tracks, etc) and turned some of the more atmospheric of the selections into real set pieces that get under your skin, 12 years later. Followers "peace" becoming twisted into megalomaniacal Enclave, anyone? =D

FOBOS had a good soundtrack... if it was the soundtrack for something else, of course. It had the same "doesn't fit" dilemma as Prince of Persia: Warrior Within; freaking awesome, soul-pounding soundtrack that you just CAN'T HELP but head-bob to, but... it just didn't feel right to experience it while playing the game it was playing TO. Some of the non-metal tracks in the FOBOS OST would have worked in a better Fallout game, but only a few of them, really, like the "Warehouse" theme. FOT's tracks didn't do much for me, and once I learned it was the same composer behind FO3, I understood why I wasn't liking FO3's tracks all that much. They're good if you like that sort of thing, but they just didn't capture my attention and fill me with some sort of emotion that fit the scene like the other Fallouts had done, before.
 
I liked the melancholic theme playing in Modoc the most. I listen to it regulary on my phone when I am out for a walk.

The original Desert Wind track is very good too.

The tactics pieces were ok, but I hated the combat music with stupid pumping war drums, doesn't fit the game at all and annoys the fuck out of me. Fallout 3's soundtrack was entirely forgetable, so was the soundtrack Inon Zur did for New Vegas, the rest was just reused stuff.

Never heard the FOBOS ones.
 
Kind of hard to say because I just go with the game and the music and don't remember the music. I remember the stage and the soundtrack, both is related.

But hey, you asked something different, so here it goes:

FO:1
The first cave where you hear the deathscreams and whispers in the background

FO:2
Even tho this is pretty mainstream I just love it when you drive around with your car. That music is just awesome

And even more, Maybe and A Kiss to build a Dream on.

I just love the little easteregg in Vault City in Fallout 2 where the guy in the Vault sings Maybe and you can applaud him
 
Fallout 3 OST by Inon Zur. I mean it's so atmospheric and memorable.
Fav tracks: Into The Wasteland and Megaton. FO2 OST was pretty decent aswell, especially car's theme while on the map. But FO3 is my favorite, i've got the full album and still keep listening to it whenever i travel somewhere.
 
Kind of stuck between fallout 1 and 3 on this one. I'd have to go with F3 only because I felt that the music captured the desolation when out in the wastes, and also I liked the brotherhood music that would start playing when inside the citadel. But fallout one had this eerie music that went along well with the atmosphere and overall feel of the game depending on location, such as the cathedral.
 
Im surprised no-ones said the:

'Metalic Monks' Sound Track that played in the BOS/Lost Hills Bunker in Fallout 1.

I loved that piece of music!

In Fallout 2 it HAD to be Gold Slouch from Redding or Dream Town from Modoc.
 
It's gonna be my first post, so just wanted to say big Hello,

I love Fallout 1 and 2 soundtracks, it's basically the same music, F2 has 8 additional tracks though, it's pretty good mixture of ambient, dark ambient and industrial but it can't be bad since many of tracks were based on Aphex Twin, Autechre, Brian Eno's and even Kraftwerk music.

I kind of like also Fallout Tactics OST but here i have mixed feelings, some of the tracks like the one you can hear on world map, in menu or in bunkers are amazing, the rest of tracks aren't really that good.

The only good thing about Fallout 3 were tracks from the radio, Inon Zur's work wasn't really appealing to me. I can't really imagine how you can roam through wastelands which is very unpleasant place, full of radioactivity, mutants and not-so-friendly people,
accompanied by classical music. The way I see it, it should be dark ambient or industrial music.

Gonna stick with the Highwayman ! Sometimes i left the world map open and did nothing just to listen to the track for a bit longer.
