10 Most Iconic Tracks From Supernatural

10. (Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

In this show full of demons and death, it was pretty inevitable that Reapers would make an appearance. Of course, when it comes to introducing figures like these, you want to make sure you do it right. Luckily, Blue Oyster Cult had Supernatural covered, as they'd already written the perfect song to accompany them.

The song first appeared in the twelfth episode of the first series, "Faith". After Dean and Sam discovered the faith-healer Roy Le Grange was in cahoots with something supernatural, Dean put two-and-two together and realised they were dealing with a Reaper. This epic tune then played while those cogs were turning in his head, and you saw one of these creatures take someone's life.

Not only are the lyrics perfectly appropriate for the set-up, but there's this oddly malicious tone to the song. While the melody is pretty upbeat, it's also monotonous and repetitive, which isn't just unsettling; it also captures the sense of neutrality the Reapers fall under.

It was a great way to introduce these servants of Death. Although, it could always do with a little more cowbell.
