The Combine invaded around 2004, which makes half of your list ineligible to get added. Actually, this would've been the case if you listed their correct release dates.

(Released in 2005)
Queen - Bohemian Phapsody
(Released in 2012) - (Rare chance of appearing?)
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
(Released in 2016)
Happy Together - The Turtles
(Released in ~2010)
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
(Released in ~2009)
Creep - Radiohead
(Released in ~2013)
Should I stay or Should I Go - The Clash
(Released in ~2013)
September - Earth, Wind and Fire
(Released in 2009)
Don't Stop Me Now
(Released in 2015)
Mr Blue Sky
(Released in 2008)
Audioslave - Like a stone

All of these have the wrong date and were released decades beforehand. The Ultimate Showdown and Never Gonna Give You Up are meme songs and should never be added.

(Released in 2017)
Brotherswing - Caravan Palace (sounds like something a loyalist would listen to ngl)

Despite you giving it 9 years too much, Caravan Palace released this in 2008, making it still ineligible.

(Released in 2014)
Happy - Pharrell Williams

Please do not add a song from the Despicable Me soundtrack in the game. Correct release date but bad suggestion.

Gonna link an older suggestion for adding Russian music too da?

Denied Thread 'Radio with Russian songs'

Oct 3, 2024

It's the perfect time to add a radio full of Russian doomer music. Especially when we are in a Russian city right now. These are mostly slow, depressing and well fitting for the Half Life (Russian edition) universe.
Here are some examples:

• FieldersNL
• Replies: 18
• Forum: Denied / cancelled

• 

Though some of these songs were released way earlier than you noted them as, Queen for example and any songs newer than 2001 would not make sense existing due to Earth's downfall at that year.

There are already radios with 70's stuff and suggestions are on hold.

I mean, they're on hold, and yet many suggestions are being accepted / changed recently, I think they just either didn't bother changing it from HOLD or just, it don't matter.

I have been @'d so I shall to reply to this.

A lot of these suggestions do not fit the setting @LyingFox.
As others pointed out, many of them are far too new to have been made in the Half Life universe. I fear the time paradox I may unleash upon the setting by adding such music into it. For the many others which are old enough (mostly Queen songs), there is another issue: they have no place right now. The songs are quite cheery and upbeat, which is great for the Combine radio, but the Combine radio has no station for 70s/80s music. At the same time, what's on that station is ultimately up to the CCA players as it's entirely under their purview. As for the rebel radio, there is already a classic rock station on it which has a much more carefully curated list of songs which fit the somber narrative: blues (Yer Blues, Am I Losin, etc), anti-establishment (Cry for the Bad Man, Taxman, etc), anti-war (The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Saturday Night Special, etc) and so on.

For the reasons listed above I am going to be denying this request.
