Winchester Workout Mix

May 6, 2014 2:30 PM

I like Supernatural. In honor of their upcoming 10th season(!), I want to make a workout mix-tape worthy of the Impala.

Of course "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas is the closer. Songs must be hard-hitting, bass-thumping, rock ballads that kick ass. Or, you know, stuff you like that fits with the show.

Best answer: What an awesome idea!

You should definitely kick things off with "Back In Black" by AC/DC, which is in the pilot episode.

Also:

"Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult
"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor
"Highway to Hell" by AC/DC
"Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi

If you want a cool down song as well, maybe "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"?

Best answer: IIRC the superwiki (or whatever the fan-run thing is called) has a track listing for every episode so far

Back when I was obsessed with the show I was also obsessed with pairing it with My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade." It takes a minute or so for the song to start kicking ass, but it's like it was written for the Winchester brothers.

Best answer: This Spotify playlist that has most of the songs from the show (and is regularly updated) might come in handy.
