Music for a Post Holocaust RP?
18 years ago
Been poking around with Dark Tower concept themes for an alternate parallel universe to my furry Mage game, and was wondering what music people think of for such settings that involve:
> The quiet after the radiation storms are over
> The gallows humor of Fallout/like settings (laugh to keep from dying)
> Potential hope in a "World Gone Mad"
When I think of movies, Mad Max series comes to the top of the list, with The Quiet Earth, Logan's Run, and some zombie flicks (Army of Darkness) thrown in, but their -music- didn't seem to fit for Roleplaying.
I like a lotta the Atomic Pop romance songs of the cold war era, and of course Louie Armstrong, Sinatra (can't usually handle him outside the genre of post holocaust for some reason). Vangellis (especially the Bladerunner soundtrack) has a nice techie-eerie ring to it too.
So, advice, recommendations?
Anyone fans of Dark Tower, Fallout or even Morrow Project, The End, or Gamma World and have suggested music tracks?

That's the sort of music I listen to recreationally. Massive Fallout fan here. (Fallout, based on Wasteland [the first post-apocalyptic RPG] is a famous game that is right down this alley.)
