Supernatural: 20 Greatest Music Moments

By Laura Hurley /

Supernatural is a show that can be, well, ridiculous every now and then. Sometimes, it's great. Sometimes, it's laughable. Sometimes, it's best to just mute the sound and stare at the actors. After all, in a series based on hunting ghosts, exorcising demons and a questionably close fraternal relationship, sometimes an episode requires a little something extra to stand out and be taken seriously.

Fortunately, Supernatural has a history of elevating small scenes into unforgettable scenes by including just the right song at just the right moment. Currently in its ninth season and with nearly 200 episodes already produced, viewers by this point really need more than just a name and number (and haircut) to recall the specifics of a certain episode. Can every fan remember the title of the one with the Groundhog Day homage? Probably not. But can every fan remember the name and artist of the song playing on the alarm clock in that episode? Almost certainly (Apologies to any readers who now have that song playing in their heads). Whether it is classic rock blasting out of cassette tapes in the Impala's dashboard or disarmingly appropriate background selections, the music of Supernatural has been one of the show's most consistently excellent aspects over the past nine seasons. Here are the 2o greatest musical moments so far.

Note: the music in the Netflix streaming episodes sometimes differs from the music of the DVD and original broadcast episodes.
