So I’m making a Spotify playlist of basically iconic moments in TV shows, and would love people’s suggestions. Below are some of my favourites that sum up songs perfectly matched to a scene and, whenever you hear the song again, you’re instantly transported to that TV moment.

  • A Drop in the Ocean, Ron Pope, Vampire Diaries
  • Skinny Love, Birdy, Vampire Diaries
  • Full of Grace, Sarah McLachlan, Buffy season 2 finale
  • Drive cover by Aimee Mann, Assassination of Gianni Versace, and Vienna, Ultravox from the same show
  • Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits, The West Wing (iconic)
  • Here Comes the Flood, Peter Gabriel, The Americans
  • Familiar, Agnes Obel, Dark
  • I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke, Mad Men
  • Rocket Man, Elton John, Nip/Tuck (shout out to Ryan Murphy for the stellar music selection in that show)
  • Separate Ways (World’s Apart), Journey, Stranger Things
