 | Best of by Kansas
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.94 Carry On Wayward Son is practically the theme song for Supernatural. The lyrics are perfectly suited to the Winchesters and it's been used at least once in every season for 'Road So Far' recaps (Salvation, All Hell Breaks Loose Part II, No Rest for the Wicked, and Lucifer Rising). I look forward to hearing it in the Season 5 season finale!

 | Back in Black by AC/DC
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.69 Supernatural has a long history with AC/DC, starting with the Pilot episode in which Dean utters the immortal line, "Driver picks the music. Shotgun shuts his cakehole." Back in Black blasts from the stereo. It's also in Bloodlust. Hells Bells was used for 'Road So Far' in the Magnificent Seven, and You Shook Me All Night Long was used for the 'Road So Far' in Lazarus Rising.
|
 | Highway to Hell (Dlx) by AC/DC
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.86 The Pilot really established Supernatural's distinctive musical style and love affair with AC/DC- they used 2 of their songs. Back in Black and Highway to Hell.
|
 | Razor's Edge (Dlx) by AC/DC
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.92 The latest season kicked things off with a bang by setting the 'Road So Far' recap in Sympathy for the Devil to AC/DC's Thunderstruck (which I predicted that they would!).
|
 | Original Bad Company Anthology by Bad Company
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $8.32 Bad Company is another Supernatural favourite. In this box set you'll find Movin' On(used in Dead in the Water), Bad Company(used in Scarecrow), and Ready for Love(used in Heaven and Hell).
|
 | Desolation Angels by Bad Company
Buy new: $5.98 / Used from: $2.35 On this CD you'll find Crazy Circles(used in Fresh Blood) and She Brings Me Love(used in Route 666).
|
 | Chronicle, Vol. 1: The 20 Greatest Hits by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Buy new: $9.00 / Used from: $3.84 One of my all time favourite bands, I only wish CCR was used more often on the show. On this CD you'll find Lodi(used in Scarecrow), Bad Moon Rising(perfectly used in Devil's Trap and In My Time of Dying), and Run Through the Jungle(used in Sin City)
|
 | Collector's Edition Lynyrd Skynyrd by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Buy new: $17.85 / Used from: $12.30 This box set includes almost all of the songs used in the series, including Down South Jukin'(used in Wendigo), Saturday Night Special(used in What is and What Should Never Be) and Simple Man(epically used in Free to Be You and Me).
|

|
 | Don't Fear the Reaper: Best of Blue Oyster Cult by Blue Oyster Cult
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $4.37 The use of Don't Fear the Reaper in the episode Faith exemplifies how Supernatural utilizes music so perfectly. Also found on this disc is Burnin' for You(used in Hellhouse)
|
 | Fire of Unknown Origin by Blue Oyster Cult
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.05 The one time in this show when I thought that the song choice was odd. Fire of Unknown Origin is used in the comedic episode Hell House in a funny prank by Dean on Sam. But the lyrics are morbid and rather too close to home for such a light hearted moment in my opinion.
|
 | The Definitive Collection by Joe Walsh
Buy new: $11.68 / Used from: $6.12 On this disc you'll find Walk Away(used in both Route 666 and Tall Tales), Rocky Mountain Way(used in the Benders), and Turn to Stone(used in Devil's Trap).
|
 | No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner by Foreigner

|
 | The Spirit Of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974-1987 by Rush

|
 | In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.43 Epic use of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida in the episode Skin. One of my favourite uses of music in the whole show.
|
 | The Very Best Things (1995-2008) by Filter
Buy new: $8.65 / Used from: $4.10 I'm not a big Filter fan but I love the way their music was used in the episode Skin. When the audience thinks that it's Dean who's holding the bloody knife it's the classic rock tune In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, but when the audience knows that it's actually a shapeshifter the song changes to Hey Man Nice Shot.
|
 | Greatest Hits (Exp) (Dig) by Journey
Buy new: $9.00 / Used from: $5.09 Wheel in the Sky will now forever make me think of John Winchester. It was used in the recap for Bloodlust.
|
 | Styx - Greatest Hits by Styx
Buy new: $11.68 / Used from: $4.25 I think this might be my favourite use of a song in the whole series. Renegade was played at the end of Nightshifter as the Winchesters strolled out of the bank disguised as S.W.A.T.

|
 | Best of by Survivor
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $3.28 Eye of the Tiger(used in Yellow Fever) will forever remind me of Jensen Ackles now. His lip-synched performance was epically hilarious. Every time I hear this song now I laugh.
|
 | Very Best Of: Heat of the Moment 1982-90 by Asia
Buy new: $11.68 / Used from: $5.94 Heat of the Moment is another song that I now must laugh at every time I hear it. It's epic repetition in Mystery Spot has earned it a place on my list of favourite song usages.
|
 | REO Speedwagon - The Hits by Reo Speedwagon
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $3.18 Can't Fight This Feeling is yet another song that earns a chuckle now. It's use in Simon Said was very funny. Although I confess it gave me false hopes for a relationship between Jo and Dean.
Back On the Road Again was used in Born Under A Bad Sign.
|
