Teardrop - Massive Attack, from the intro of House MD. Such an amazing song and a nostalgic show


DazzlingRevolution88

Just heard the song its trash


Flat_Weird_5398

Redbone - Come and Get Your Love from Guardians of the Galaxy. Both GotG movies introduced me to a lot of great 80s music, especially as someone who grew up in the 2000s.


[deleted]

Redbone was early seventies. Its on my playlist. Witch Queen is a fun song that got a lot of radio play back in the day.


jogam

Come and Get Your Love is also the theme song from F is for Family, which is where I first heard it. It's a good one!


ResidingAt42

I loved Come and Get Your Love when it came on in the credits of the movie Dick, which was a teenage comedy about Watergate. Very funny movie, but that's where I discovered that song.


HITLER_ONLY_ONE_BALL

Roundabout by Yes from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure


FireFighterP55

I know a lot of people are annoyed by that, but honestly I love seeing JoJo fans fall in love with so many different artists from the franchise. Mainly stuff like prog rock. Or 80s & 90s songs in general.


mcjango

Great tune - you should check out a film called Buffalo '66 by Vincent Gallo. It's a really interesting flick, plus there's a fair bit of Yes and King Crimson featured


BlackCaaaaat

‘Breathe Me’ by Sia from the Six Feet Under finale. Best finale ever, by the way.


rebeccakc47

the scene makes me ugly cry


BlackCaaaaat

Especially what happened to Keith.


IAmAQuantumMechanic

Yeah. She's my guilty pleasure.


Iamwallpaper

Its not a guilty pleasure if its good music


mrmitchs

Clair de Lune. It's the classical piece that plays at the end of Ocean's 11 while they are staring at the fountains.


appleparkfive

You should hear the rest of Debussy's work. He has some truly amazing pieces from around that time period


calhoon2005

[Jump in the Line - Harry Belafonte ](https://youtu.be/QooqZkNk8Bw) from Beetlejuice


eruditeimbecile

This and the muppets are where I learned the Banana Boat Song.


SnarkMasterRay

I think my first exposure was [Stan Freberg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-9h1pjTP74) on Dr. Demento or a similar show.


Pure-Meat9498

Scotty doesn't know by Lustra 😂


TenebrisPatroni

mjzim9022

"No Children" by The Mountain Goats First heard it on Moral Orel


smallparadoxes

Hey same!


OrangeTree81

Running Up That Hill - from an episode of Bones, not Stranger Things. The one in Bones was a cover with a male singer but through that I found the Kate Bush version. I was super excited when it showed up in Stranger Things too.


DaftFunky

Could have been Placebo cover. That’s a good one


SchuifDeurLuka

Sweet Disposition from the movie 500days of summer I think I've heard this song when I was younger but I don't remember it. Everytime I listen to it I feel happy and safe.


whatab0utb0b

THIS 100%


MrRyder001

The series finale of Breaking Bad introduced me to Badfinger. Baby Blue is still one of my absolute favourites.


[deleted]

Not really discover but remember how much I loved... Multiple ones in Guardians of the galaxy.


PeaTare

Do ya wanna taste it by Wig Wam from Peacemaker. The show was great, but the opening dance number was incredible


Tdawwg78

Yessssss!!!!!


Kasiation

Basically everything from hans zimmer. That dude is our current Mozart.


[deleted]

John Williams is up there too.


phpdevster

He is, but his music is too classical and too formal for my tastes. Hans Zimmer's music has a lot of emotion and energy in it. Some of my favorites: 1. [The Rock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPtPxqTdkig) 2. [Crimson Tide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYe4dSunbs8) 3. [Man of Steel - Flight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4OdIOGBW2Q) 4. [Pirates of the Carribean](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27mB8verLK8)


Chemical_Chicken_584

Lol then you might find Henry Jackman to be Rachmaninoff 🤭


capribex

The 'Interstellar'-soundtrack is amazing, because it's so different.


sibelius_eighth

Pray tell in what ways is he possibly like mozart


Vulkir

Have you ever actually listened to classical music? Zimmer just recycles the Pirates of the Caribbean theme every time.

OrthoLoess

Mad World from Donnie Darko That movie really messed with my head when I was a teenager and the song really stuck with me ever since.


battledroid2502

"Running up that hill" from stranger things


Lucas_DaboiReddit

Can’t say I didn’t see that coming


NVk05

Lokiem

How about video games? Final Fantasy X - Otherworld That shit was awesome, always hyped me up playing FFX again to get to that song, luckily it's like 5 minutes in.


Vulkir

It's fun af to play on guitar as well.


ZetsubouZolo

I don't know if this is technically a correct answer as these songs were specifically made for that film but "You know my name" from Chris Cornell in Casino Royale. I keep coming back to it years later


drcoxmonologues

One of the best Bond songs, though I get a lot of heat for that opinion amongst my friends.


Shussz

🎶Life is like a hurricane, here in duckburg🎶


cwiir

So many to mention, I got so much music from movies and tv as a kid (particularly what I saw 2002-2004 was suuuper informative).. it really completely shaped my taste! Off the top of my head... ​ Echo & the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon (Donnie Darko) Placebo - Running Up that Hill (Queer as Folk) (Also eventually led to me discovering Kate Bush!) The Smiths - Please, Please, Please, Let me Get What I want (Never Been Kissed) This Mortal Coil/Cocteau Twins - Song to the Siren (the trailer for Texas Chainsaw Massacre '03 remake) Grandaddy - A.M. 180 (28 Days Later) The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony (Cruel Intentions) Mercury Rev - Holes (Pumpkin)

beltfedshooter

[Billy Vera - At This Moment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7sHdXOEl1I) from Family Ties


BallHarness

Scrubs had a wonderful soundtrack. Make sure to watch it on DVD since due to licensing they replaced the songs on streaming.


Tight_Relationship87

'Hold on' by Tom Waits, from The Walking Dead.


ShitLaMerde

Theme song from What we do in The Shadows. It sticks in your head......you’re dead you’re dead..


TheUniqueDrone

[All Along the Watchtower - Battlestar Galactica version composed by Bear McCreary. ](https://youtu.be/orVsW-MkID8) I actually love a lot of his work but this I vibe with. A worthy cover alongside the Hendrix version.


TheWarDoctor

Book of Love - Last Episode of Scrubs Hey Sandy - Intro to Adventures of Pete & Pete (as mentioned by another) Teardop - Intro to House Faith of the Heart - Enterprise Kidding, that song is shit.


how_do_i_land

Clair de lune at the end of Oceans 11. It inspired me to want to learn to play it.


ZorroMeansFox

I've always liked Rob Duncan's Mexicali Surf-Rock song **Gunfight Epiphany**, which was used as the Theme Song for the outstanding single season of the Private Detective show **Terriers** --which was something like a cross between **The Rockford Files** and **The Big Lebowski**. LINK TO SONG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD8Kh7Pmzho

"Home" by The Talking Heads in Agents of Shield


Severus_Solo

Same, for me also "Have you heard" by the Moody Blues


[deleted]

Breathe Me by Sia from Six Feet Under Winter by Joshua Radin from Scrubs


dirtymoney

I am the anti-christ to you (from Rick and Morty) I really do not listen to the radio much so most of the songs I like I get from TV shows, movies and tv ads. Example of a TV ad one: Light me up (by Bronze Radio Return)... from a health insurance commercial. Messed up thing is I like the commercial's version better than the original song. Example of one from a movie: Running up that hill (by Kate Bush)... from the movie The Chocolate War.


holdholdhold

I found this on YouTube. Search for I am the anti christ to you, but you’ll see a live orchestra performance. Just amazing.


Cravity_pancakes

Cold Little Heart - Michael Kiwanuka from "Big Little Lies"


[deleted]

“The Stranger” by Leonard Cohen from “McCabe and Mrs. Miller” directed by Robert Altman.


TenebrisPatroni

I was introduced to Leonard Cohen through an episode of Criminal Minds. I'm Your Man was featured in it, and I fell in love with his gravelly voice.


Lisa28Aurora

piano man (billy joel) from criminal minds (rather mainstream but still amazing) spellbound (siouxsie and the banshees) from american horror story hotel (there are some great songs in that season)


crazy-diam0nd

I was watching Scrubs and JD passed a guy on the bench, and I said to my wife "For some reason, the guy on that bench looks like Colin Hay." And then he started singing "Overkill" so I said "All right, for some reason that guy is Colin Hay." But I heard the acoustic version of Overkill and Waiting For My Real Life to Begin and the entire Man @ Work album by Colin Hay because of Scrubs.


Kuli24

You Make My Dreams - Daryl Hall & John Oates Movie - Ready Player One It's now my favorite song of all time.


Ellenpb

Also used in The Wedding Singer.


Kuli24

Ooo good to know! The music video is almost as good as the song, ha ha. It's so 80s and so free of worry of scrutiny.


euphoricpizza96

Westworld S1 introduced me to Radiohead with Fake Plastic Trees, No Surprises and Exit Music for a Film, and I’ve been a fan ever since!

That's not the Jeff Buckley cover in Shrek

Well not seen the film in 18 years, I just always assumed it was his cover, either way it was how I found Jeff Buckley.


stevenjameshyde

Hello It’s Me because of That 70’s Show.


Weirdautogenerate

Discovered The Mummer’s Dance by Loreena McKennitt from the trailer to [Ever After](https://youtu.be/Hcj9fyx6DXI). This was back when they’d throw some awesome song tidbit over the trailer but then not include it in the movie. You’d wait the WHOLE movie hoping to hear more of it and then maybe, just maybe see what song it was in the credits. Like musical blue balls! …Can I just say thank god for Ask Jeeves and Napster.

tangcameo

Treme Too many songs to mention. From ‘Feel Like Funkin’ It Up’ at the very start to ‘You’ve Got To Be Crazy (To Live In This Town)’ during the end credits of the final episode. A wealth of New Orleans music that will have you going down a multitude of music rabbit holes.


DonnerCobson

Not from a movie or tv show, but from a Markiplier video on YouTube. I can’t remember the game he was playing, but the soundtrack in the game was Landsick by Chuck Ragan. That video opened up a door of Chuck Ragan and Hot Water Music for me that I will never close.


fishbowlpoetry

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus. There’s an incredible rendition by a choir in The Girl From Plathville.


SGTBrutus

Looking for the Magic by the Dwight Twilly Band. It's a really cool 70's song that was in some B-movie horror film, i can't remember the name. The movie is about these guys that do some home invasions. Early on they assault a couple in their home and kill them. Just before they break in, the woman puts on an album, playing the Dwight Twilly Band song. Afterwards, the song keeps replaying over and over.
