10 Most Iconic Tracks From Supernatural

4. Renegade - STYX

A great song is good enough on its own, but it becomes something more when it's implemented this well into a scene.

During the second season episode "Nightshifter", the Winchester brothers investigated the attacks of a shapeshifter. However, the ending of this adventure would not go well for them, as they were forced to steal some SWAT uniforms and escape Special Agent Henriksen, who was after them. It was a cool enough concept in itself, but the show decided to go as hard as it could with one of the best music cues in its entire run.

As Dean and Sam are running from the scene, the acapella intro of "Renegade" plays, giving you an intimate and somewhat sombre vibe. You can tell this is a challenging situation for the Winchesters, as they sit in the Impala and take a second.

Then, Dean utters the words "we are so screwed", and the upbeat shift in the song kicks in instantly. It's a jarring moment that leaves a huge impression, as the kick-ass song jolts you with one thousand vaults of energy - what a way to end an episode.
