4. The Fantastic Needle Drops

What would any season of Stranger Things be without some insane needle drops? And while Volume 2 doesn't deliver any iconic musical moments on the level of Volume 1's beloved invocation of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill," there are still some outstanding musical selections throughout.

Without giving too much away, the soundtrack runs the gamut from Credence Clearwater Revival to Journey, Metallica, The Police, Ella Fitzgerald, and even Siouxsie and the Banshees.

And yes, you'll also get a few more chances to hear Kate Bush before the season is over - don't worry.

Several of these songs are integrated into the story in clever and unexpected ways, with some of the more iconic tracks even being remixed with the show's own distinctive synth score.
