6 Best Supernatural Soundtracks Approved By Dean Winchester, Ranked
Through thick and thin, the journey of the Winchester brothers is always accompanied by great scores.
If you're a fan of the long-running Supernatural and the adventures of two charismatic brothers who fight things and follow the family business, then you know that the show is never shy when it comes to choosing the most atmospheric old classic soundtracks.
Here are the top 6 best Supernatural songs that have become our all-time favorites thanks to the Winchesters.
6. Heat of the Moment by Asia
In the Mystery Spot episode of Supernatural season three, Sam experiences a time loop where he relives the same day, and each of his torturous Groundhog Days begins with Asia's Heat of the Moment playing on the alarm.
With Dean's "Rise and shine, Sammy!" at the beginning of each loop, this humorous and repetitive scenario, accompanied by the classic '80s tune, has become a popular running gag among fans of the show.
5. O, Death by Jen Titus
One of the most chilling moments in the entire show is the introduction of Death on Supernatural. With Death getting out of a vintage car, walking through a windy town, rudely bumping into a man, and causing his demise, and the whole scene accompanied by Jen Titus' mesmerizing voice — this exact moment with this exact song gives us chills to the bone.
4. Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple
After a year of trying to live a normal life with Lisa and Ben, in season six Dean returns to the hunting world when Castiel brings back Sam without his soul. Accompanied by Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water, Dean finally reunites with his beloved baby Impala, which he had tucked away during his time with Lisa, signifying Dean's reentry into the hunter's life.
3. Highway To Hell by AC/DC
The Australian hard rock band's 1979 hit has captured the hearts of fans since the very first episode of the show when we see Dean riding his Baby on his way to save Sam from the Woman in White.
With energetic and rebellious lyrics that capture Dean's demon-hunting persona as he battles evil supernatural creatures, the song symbolically represents the brothers' journey on their never-ending highway to Hell.
2. Americana by Jay Gruska & Christopher Lennertz
As a part of the original soundtrack of the series and often played during the most poignant moments of the show, Americana typically accompanies the saddest scenes of the show and adds an emotional depth to the narrative.
The song remains especially notable to the most die-hard fans for being the final piece of choice to be played on the finale of the show when Sam and Dean finally meet in Heaven.
1. Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas
This classic 70's song became an unofficial anthem for the fans, cast, and crew of the show. Featured in the recap montages at the end of each Supernatural season, the song beautifully encapsulated the show's gritty themes and narrative and holds a special place as one of the series' most emotionally resonant songs.
Special shout-out to the show's 200th episode and a beautiful tribute to the song with an angelic cover and The Road So Far key moment.
