10 Great TV Shows With An Even Better Soundtrack

10. Freaks And Geeks

For a show that only managed to run for a single season, Freaks and Geeks sure did have it all.

Created by Paul Feig (of Bridemaids fame) and produced by the comedy powerhouse Judd Apatow, Freaks and Geeks' cast was filled out by Linda Cardellini, James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel, with appearances by the likes of Ben Stiller, Shia LaBeouf, Leslia Mann and Rashida Jones over the show's criminally short tenure on our screens.

But as well as a staggering number of future comedy A-listers, Freaks and Geeks had a solid coming-of-age teen comedy-drama premise, and one HELL of a soundtrack.

Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation' blasting over the opening credits might have been indication enough of exactly what type of soundtrack you're in for, but practically every song in the show was hand-picked to perfectly capture the essence of the '80s misfit scene.

With tracks by bands like Styx, Van Halen, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Rush, Santana and Eric Clapton, the soundtrack was every bit as good as the show itself - and that's really saying something, given Freaks and Geeks' cult following.
