Supernatural/Music

Music from Supernatural
Composer	Jay Gruska, Christopher Lennertz
Ending Theme	"End Credits & Mo' Guitar Grit" (Jay Gruska)
Common Genres	classic rock, classic metal

Supernatural is known for its frequent use of classic rock music and classic metal songs, setting it apart from most other shows on The WB and The CW that tend to use more contemporary alternative rock and modern Top 40 music. The show also makes frequent references to classic rockers and rock bands, including in many of its episode titles, and the main characters (Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester) often using rocker names as aliases during investigations. This list is an attempt to compile the names of all the non-original music and all the musical references.

Note many of these songs are production music produced for the express purpose of licensing to TV and film productions and as such may be dificult to find.

5x15 - Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

• Moot Davis - You're One of a Kind

5x16 - Dark Side of the Moon

• Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heaven's Door
• Jesse Turnbow/Black Toast Music - What a Way to Go

The title of the episode comes from the title of Pink Floyd's seminal concept album. Each side of the album is a single musical composition that goes through different stages of human life and ends with allusions to death and the afterlife (Side 1 ends with the lyric free "The Great Gig in the Sky" and side 2 ends with "Eclipse" which alludes to the struggle between good and evil and that life and the afterlife are a summation of both). The title might be used as a direct reference to the afterlife because there is a repeated line in the second to last track "Brain Damage," "I'll see you on the dark side of the Moon," that follows a series of seemingly life ending conditional if statements which could be interpreted as referring to the after life but songwriter Roger Waters has stated it is meant to convey the fact that everyone gives into the dark forces and impulses in their life at some point including him.

5x17 - 99 Problems

• Steve Plunkett/MasterSource Music - Too Hot to Stop

The title of the episode is a reference to the 1993 Ice-T hip-hop track of the same name (Jay-Z released a track with the same name and chorus in 2004). The chorus of the track goes "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one" so the title acts as a bit of a hint to the plot twist in the episode.

5x18 - Point of No Return

• Kay Starr - The Man Upstairs
• Kurt Fuller (in character as Zachariah) - When the Saints Go Marching In

The title of the episode is a common saying that has been used for many song and album titles but none in the genres and time periods generally referenced by the series so there likely isn't any musical reference intended. Although the band Kansas has an album called "Point of Know Return".

5x19 - Hammer of the Gods

• Daniel May - Women's Wear
• The Bachelors - You Know You Know (I Love You So)

The title of the episode is a reference to a line in the Led Zeppelin song "Immigrant Song" which prompted people to start refering to the Led Zeppelin sound as the "hammer of the gods." It was also used as the title of a popular 1985 unauthorized Led Zeppelin biography by Stephen Davis.

5x20 - The Devil You Know

No Non-Original Music

5x21 - Two Minutes to Midnight

• Jen Titus - O Death

The title of the episode is a reference to the 1984 Iron Maiden song "2 Minutes to Midnight" which is itself a reference to the Atomic Doomsday Clock which uses a clock metaphor to illustrate how theoretically close to an apocalypse (in that case atomic) the world is.

5x22 - Swan Song

• Recap Song: Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
• Def Leppard - Rock of Ages

The title of the episode is partially a reference to the music label launched by Led Zeppelin in 1974 that released not only the band's later albums and members' early solo works but also many albums by other groups most successfully Bad Company, whose music has been featured on the series before.

Before swapping bodies, Lucifer tells Sam, "A fiddle of gold against your soul says I'm better than you." This is a reference to the Charlie Daniels Band song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" where the devil battles a fiddle player named Johnny for his soul.
