10 Great TV Shows With An Even Better Soundtrack
3. Sons Of Anarchy
Crime drama is easily one of the most successful genres on TV today. But how do make it even better?
Just add motorcycles, of course.
Less a TV show and more a cultural phenomenon, Sons of Anarchy follows the fictional motorcycle club of the same name as they deal with rival gangs, troubles with the law, and internal power struggles, all framed against the backdrop of protagonist Jax Teller's (Charlie Hunnam) existential crisis.
It's a powerful story, told in epic fashion by an outstanding ensemble cast featuring Hunnam, Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, Jimmy Smits, Ryan Hurst and many, many more.
Sons of Anarchy also features one of the most atmospheric soundtracks of all time, with original folk covers of gospel songs, as well as various tracks from country, folk and rock artists.
It's not exaggerating to say that every single episode features at least one powerful musical moment, with music used to staggering effect throughout the show's seven season run.
No spoilers, but if you don't shed a tear for at least ONE of the show's funeral scene/sad song combos, then you have a heart of stone.
