Modern songs that fit with RDR2


Recommended Posts

The Tracker

This thread is inspired by "Music to play Red Dead Redemption to" 

 

As much fidelity RDR2 has with its time period, there is no denying that at times, some modern styles are surprisingly fitting with the aesthetics of the game, we saw that in musical moments such as "Unshaken" or "I cannot be stopped" which are rare, yet very suited with the situation they were featured in.

 

Which modern music would you add, or think are fitting with the game? Or not necessarily "Modern" but ahead of the game's setting.

 

As a good western it is, I think anything related to the late 1960's hard rock scene is extremely fitting with RDR2, specially the Garage Rock scene:

Someone had to drop this track in here, so why not. As common as it may be, it's a classic!

 

 

Good old Django, hope I'm not the only one who rides in the snow with this song:

For me it would be music from Neil Young. The game's pace is so slowed down and the game is so deeply connected with nature. That are things I can find in so many Neil Young songs.

I can really imagine listening to this song while exploring the beauty of Big Valley for the first time. :D 

 

 

 

 

But also other Neil Young songs (like "Heart of Gold") would fit very well to the atmosphere of the game.

This track from the first game:

 

And this next one I'm pretty sure this was the song "That's The Way It Is" was based on. And it turned out great, of course. (Plus, this is about a lawman, "Mama take this badge off of me")

But this song now always makes me think of Arthur Morgan.

A little late to the party, but here's two playlists I made with music that I play sometimes during my playthroughs.

 

Let me know what you guys think! :D
