Why doesn't Fallout have Captain Beefheart yet in the radio?

It's pretty innovative music that was made in the 60's, and there was a 60's influence as seen in New Vegas.

Why?

There is no place for anything remotely innovating in Bethesda games.

Actually, Bethesda have a weird source for how they license their music. Most of the tracks like Let's go Sunning and I'm tickled pink were never printed on proper public records, also nearly a quarter of the records weren't commercially released only on Radio Transcription broadcast Acetates most of which are lost but were found recently, so somehow Bethesda managed to license those. Another weird case is Peggy Lee's "Why dont you do right", there are two version from different record companies, each having differences in terms of their composition & audio mix coming from the late 40s, but Bethesda managed to track down the song's origin in a 1942 music video and license the audio track.

Can't say exactly how they would've found the music (maybe they had a classics enthusiast as part of the design team?), but they were probably able to license the music rights for pennies once they tracked the right people down, especially since they were comparatively unknown around the time they were developing Fallout 3 than they are today.

Almost every song in Fallout 3 was a hit when it came out, it was just a thing of checking the top selling artists from a certain period of time. Even then, most of the artists featured in the game and in New Vegas and FO4 are hardly obscure: Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, The Ink Spots, Ella Fritzgerald, Dean Martin, etc. I guess they don't include Beefheart because he doesn't fit the idea of a republican Pre-War America and also because he wasn't a "hit".

Screw the 60s one, the cheesy, yet oddly catchy cowboy ones were the best. Need more of those.

Why doesn't Fallout have Vince Guaraldi Plays A Charlie Brown Christmas yet? That is a thing that occurred in earth history, and "things that happened in earth history" is a major theme of Fallout.
