Summary

  • Radio mods like Old World Radio offer tons of new music genres for Fallout 4, from blues to synthwave, with professional-sounding hosts.
  • Custom radio stations like 2029 Radio let you add up to 100 of your own audio tracks, giving you a completely personalized music experience in-game.
  • Galaxy News Radio V2.0 brings Fallout 3 music and commentary to Fallout 4, but unfortunately replaces Three Dog with a new DJ and adds a new dungeon.

As delightful as Inon Zur's haunting sountrack of Fallout 4 can be, sometimes you just want to wander the wasteland with a little ditty bouncing around your head. The game's radio stations offer plenty of catchy tunes for this purpose, but hearing 'Mighty, Mighty Man' on repeat can get a bit stale during a 100+ hour playthrough.

10 Radio New Vegas And Mojave Music Radio

  • Imports music from Fallout: New Vegas into Fallout 4
  • Requires copy of Fallout: New Vegas

For those looking for a bit of nostalgia, look no further than Radio New Vegas and Mojave Music Radio from CamSakura. Just like it says in the title, it brings in music from Fallout: New Vegas to spice up your playthrough, albeit without Mr. New Vegas, unfortunately.

For this mod to work properly, you need to own a legal copy of Fallout: New Vegas since it imports the music directly from there for copyright reasons. But odds are you already have the game if you're interested in this mod, so jingle jangle away.

9 Old World Radio 1 And 2

  • Nearly 40 original and fully-voiced radio stations of different genres
  • Most stations are available as standalone downloads

Old World Radio - Boston and Old World Radio 2 are near essential radio mods. Creators Brandoman, CDante, and Neeher put together a huge assortment of original stations featuring various genres, including classic radioplays.

The stations include everything from malt shop classics to Pee Wee's Playhouse (yes, really) and plenty of surprises in-between, complete with shockingly professional-sounding hosts. The collection has something for everyone, but you can download individual stations if it's a bit overwhelming.

8 Synthstream FM

  • Popular and lesser-known synthwave tracks
  • Hosted by chaotic ice cream truck driver

While every station in the Old World Radio mods deserve their time in the spotlight, there are a few that are particularly special and worth a standalone download. Synthstream FM is one such case.

7 Blues Radio

  • 100 classic blues songs from iconic artists
  • No host, just vibes

For those who prefer something more crunchy and soulful, Blues Radio - Standalone Station with 100 Tracks by Delmark has you covered. Adding a brand new station featuring nothing but fantastic old blues tracks, this mod is sure to inject some emotion.

Traversing the Commonwealth just hits different when your journey is backed by legends like Lead Belly, Charley Patton, and blues icon himself Robert Johnson. But don't worry, you've still got some songs from The Ink Spots to keep that Fallout connection strong.

6 '50s Irish Radio

  • A collection of Irish folk tunes of the '50s and '60s
  • Replaces the classical music of Radio Freedom

This one goes out to everyone prickly about Preston Garvey's musical tastes. '50s Irish Radio by TonyStarch replaces the music on the Minutemen's Radio Freedom, changing it from grandpa's evening at home to a vaguely threatening night at the pub.

Now, instead of punctuating classical music, the Minutemen updates will play between energetic Irish folk songs from days gone by. You haven't lived until you've taken down a deathclaw with 'Whiskey in the Jar' blasting in your ear.

5 2029 Radio - Pipboy Custom Radio

What if nobody else can match your own inimitable taste in music? In that case, take a look at 2029 Radio - Pipboy Custom Radio by backporter. This is for those of you who have your own vision in mind and don't mind getting your hands dirty.

4 Galaxy News Radio V2.0

  • Music from Fallout 3 brought into Fallout 4
  • Unfortunate lack of Three Dog

Music from Fallout: New Vegas is fine and all, but what about those gentle people who hold Fallout 3 closer to their dear hearts? Don't you worry. You'll be skipping through land mines to 'I'm Tickled Pink' in no time thanks to Galaxy News Radio V2.0 by Julien Productions and Entertainment.

It brings Fallout 3's Galaxy News Radio to the Commonwealth, with the music you love and a new DJ commenting on your adventures just like in Fallout 3. Unfortunately, that means no more Three Dog. But as a trade-off, this one also adds a new dungeon to Fallout 4.

3 An Old World Radio Christmas

  • Original station full of Christmas classics
  • Stars nearly every DJ from Old World Radio

Sometimes you feel the urge to start a new playthrough at a certain time of year, so you might as well double down. As a standalone extension of Old World Radio - Boston, Brandoman and CDante now present An Old World Radio Christmas.

2 The Cat's Meow - Atom Cats Radio

  • The Alley Cats' unofficial rockabilly station
  • Hosted by merchant Rowdy (with a new voice)

Ever felt like the power armor greasers known as the Atom Cats were just too darn quiet and subtle in Fallout 4? Well too bad, they're here to blast in your ear regardless. The Cat's Meow - Atom Cats Radio from the Old World Radio mod is one entry that deserves a shoutout.

Hosted by Rowdy of the Atom Cats (not played by Ashly Burch this time around, but with a solid voice double), this stylish station brings you a collection of rockabilly standards that make you want to figure out if power armor is capable of street racing. If painting flames on your armor wasn't enough, this one's for you.

1 Diamond City Radio Extended

  • Massively expands Diamond City Radio playlist
  • Integrates smoothly with current music and host

Often, it's the simple ideas that become the most effective. Diamond City Radio Extended by Somhairle seamlessly increases the number of songs played on Fallout 4's prolific Diamond City Radio to a whopping tracklist of 300, and you won't even notice it's a mod.

The meek (or hilariously suave) Travis retains his commentary on the radio, even introducing one of the new songs. Each new addition fits the lore and setting perfectly, so the realism won't be ruined while you're surviving a sledgehammer to the face. It's perfect if you just want more of what Fallout 4 does best. A lot more.
