Right from the start, music has been an integral part of creating the atmosphere on Supernatural. Everything from Ozzy Osbourne to Bob Dylan has helped provide just the right note, either as background setting or to underscore an emotional scene. "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas has practically become the show's theme song. And no Supernatural fan can listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" without a shiver.


Show creator Eric Kripke felt that the choice of music for the show was important enough that he put a note on it in the original pilot script: "You can take your anemic alternative pop and shove it up your ass. We're playing Dean's music -- adrenaline pumping metal -- and we're playing it loud."

In actuality, the songs used in the show are diverse, and more than just metal. The music of blues legend Robert Johnson formed the backdrop for a season two hunt, and Frank Sinatra, The Doors, and Johnny Cash have all been heard. But there is definitely a flavor of music the show leans towards, and it's one of the many factors that contribute to setting Supernatural apart. Most series don't use Jefferson Airplane and Styx to help set a scene, and not in such memorable ways. Many songs in the classic rock landscape have taken on new levels of meaning because of how they were used on the series.

This is a chance to fill in the gaps in your Supernatural playlists and at the same time help support the striking writers. They're the ones whose words allow stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki to bring Sam and Dean Winchester to life as they travel the backroads of America fighting wendigos, ghosts, shapeshifters, and their own inner demons.
