This is a classic rock Supernatural fanmix rec list.
Doing one of my reading recs (it's actually a music rec) here because Tumblr's formatting is frustrating me to no end and LJ is where I learned to HTML so it's still the best platform for me to work with.
This is going to get x-posted on my fandom tumblr where I usually keep my fandom blogging and rec lists, etc.
So when I’m reading or writing fic I like to listen to music. (Also while I’m working, driving, sleeping, breathing.) These are a few of the classic rock mixes found on 8tracks. I listened to a whole bunch but tried to pic the best of the lot, the ones with songs inspired by the series, not just heard on it, and with good recordings.
I'm putting the tracklists under the cut because some listeners don't want to know the tracklist and also because they make this post really really long.
Rebel With a Cause - Thistle-and-kneesocks
Paint it Black - The Rolling Stones
Paranoid - Black Sabbath
Back in Black - AC/DC
Mother - Danzig
Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard
Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Öyster Cult
More Than a Feeling - Boston
Bad Moon Rising - CCR (live)
Lil' Devil - The Cult
The Hunter - Danzig
Burnin' For You - Blue Öyster Cult
Love Bites - Def Leppard
Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Eric Clapton
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses
Foreplay/Longtime - Boston
Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
I Was Made For Lovin' You - KISS
I Was Wrong - Social Distortion
For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica
Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen
One Vision - Queen
Lodi - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Prison Bound - Social Distortion
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor (bad recording, Napster?)
You're No Good - Van Halen
She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult
I love it Loud - KISS
Cherry Pie - Warrant
This is a long one, a couple hours worth of music. It's got a few songs from the show interspersed between a bunch of songs that aren't on the show but are of the same era/genre. There are a couple tracks that are live or not that great quality but overall it's an inspired list. I especially like the inclusion of Social Distortion because it absolutely is something I feel like Dean would love but has never been featured on the show and is a band that is often forgotten when people think about classic rock.
KAZ-2Y5 - astridstrid
Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
Hells Bells - AC/DC
Layla - Eric Clapton
Going Down/Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith
I Shot the Sheriff - Eric Clapton
Burnin’ For You - Blue Öyster Cult
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N’ Roses
Heat of the Moment - Asia
Sweet Child O’ Mine - Guns N’ Roses
Aqualung - Jethro Tull
Sunshine of Your Love - Eric Clapton (live)
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor (bad recording)
(Don’t Fear) the Reaper - Blue Öyster Cult
The Crystal Ship - The Doors
This list is shorter and is a slightly more even mix of songs featured on the show and songs not featured on the show. It's a good mix, one I would definitely love to hear overlayed by the sound of a big engine going fast over warm country highways.
Dude, You Fugly - somepatriot
Drifter - Deep Purple
Freewill - Rush
Good Times, Bad Times - Led Zeppelin
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Guns N' Roses
Paradise City - Guns N' Roses
Peace of Mind - Boston
Rag Doll - Aerosmith
Ramblin' Man - The Allman Brothers Band
Traveling Riverside Blues - Led Zeppelin
Wheel in the Sky - Journey
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
Another slightly shorter list, tho with a whole different bunch of songs. There is always some overlap with playlists of a single genre but this one is pretty original. Also, major plus points for being a classic rock Supernatural playlist that doesn't include Carry On Wayward Son. I mean, I love that song but it seems like every playlist maker in the fandom puts it on their mix.
Ok, as always, my rec lists can be found here.
