Dean, Sam, and a whole lot of good music!

I love, love, lourve the Supernatural series, the best of which I believe was the Seasons first through fourth.
It’s a Television series full of some serious bate: There’s Jensen Ackles. The bait-list can legitimately finish here but then there’s more. Jared Padalecki, who has a crackling chemistry with Jensen, Misha Collins, buddy to our bro-duo and adorable in a very convoluted, straight-faced way, and of course, Bob. Who can forget the plump and red Bob completing the Winchester family picture.

But, that’s not it.

 

The Supernatural series is worth watching, if for no other reason, for its superb selection of music scores that accompany most episodes. On a very grilling day in the office of a music magazine, I made a quick list of seven of the very best soundtracks that featured on Supernatural (I limited myself to the first four seasons) and became etched in our memories deeper than ever before. And here they are:

 

1.Renegade –  Styx (Season 2, Episode 12)

A 1967 Chevy Impala and two hot brothers in SWAT outfits to the backdrop of a Styx song about an outlaw anticipating the gallows and a hangman, a road song doesn’t get better than that.

  1. Heat of the Moment – Asia (Season 3, Episode 13)

It’s the song Sam is listening to in the time-warp episode. “And now you find yourself in ‘82”, what could be more apt?

  1. Carry on Wayward Son – Kansas (Seasons 1,2,3,4)

Supernatural is the story of two “wayward” brothers, and no wonder this Kansas track finds its way into the series repeatedly. It is Supernatural’s “spirit song”, and it wouldn’t even be far-fetched to call the track its unofficial theme song.

 

  1. Eye of the Tiger – Survivor( Season 4, Episode 6)

As if the song wasn’t epic enough already, Jensen Ackles’ memorable lip-syncing to the song in Supernatural made it exceedingly hilarious.

  1. Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door – Bob Dylan ( Season 2, Episode 13)

Bob Dylan’s iconic track meets the intensity Supernatural offers. Sounds like a match made in heaven. Pun intended.

 

  1. Crystal Ship – The Doors (Season 2, Episode 14)

The Doors’s heart -wrenching song plays as Sam talks to a tied-up Joe, in Season 2.

 

  1. I’ve got the World on a String – Frank Sinatra (Season 2, Episode 18)

A dreamy Frank Sinatra sequence celebrating love, life and contentment arising from the euphoria of having the world wrapped around one’s finger.
