You just knew that I would get around to doing this eventually, a post dedicated to Supernatural or least one aspect of Supernatural.
If you've read any of my previous posts then you know that I am a HUGE fan and one of the reasons (and there's alot of reasons...) is that it features some of the best classic rock music around.
I have gotten almost every song from the show loaded onto my MP3 player. From foot-tapping, head banging rock songs to power ballads to good old fashioned blues, it's all there.
Don't you just love shows like this. Shows that have great music that you just have to have and listen to again and again.
With Supernatural, every fan (of course) has their favourites. My current top 5 (in no particular order) are
- Thunderstuck by AC/DC
- Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas
- Wanted Dead Or Alive by Bon Jovi
- Shambala by Three Dog Night
- Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull
Though if you were to ask me tomorrow this list would probably change, it's just so hard to pick just 5 as they are all so good.
Strangely enough no one yet has thought to bring out an CD featuring music from the show. I'm crossing my fingers that someday someone will. After all if they can do soundtracks for Glee and Twilight surely a Supernatural soundtrack is a must.
Until that day comes why not try some of the following CD's to put you in that Supernaturally frame of mind and rock on.

Never really that big here, in the US Journey along with lead singer Steve Perry were mega popular, despite the fact that they never had a No. 1 single.
Their popularity, even today, can be shown in the fact that Don't Stop Believin' was the greatest selling song in itunes history.
My personal favourite is Who's Crying Now
Even though most of the band are nearing retirement age AC/DC are still considered one of the bands to see live.
Hugely popular with rock fans around the world, their album Back in Black is the 2nd biggest selling album in music history, being beaten only by Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Not bad for a group of Aussie boys.
I've been a Foreigner fan for a long time and it's no wonder with such great rock songs as Juke Box Hero, Double Vision and Cold As Ice as part of their discography.
Again like Journey they were never really that big here, yet in the US they had 9 songs that reached the top 10 on the Billboard charts.
Who hasn't heard of Smoke on the Water.
Considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time and a song that pretty much every wanna-be guitarist learns, this classic rock song is familiar to many, even those that aren't rock fans, which is pretty amazing for a song that never even got into the top 20 let alone the top 10 on the Billboard charts.
I mentioned my love of this band in my very first post which goes to show how much I enjoy their music.
Still performing and producing albums, they have lasted more than 30 years in the business, continuing on after the tragic death of their lead guitarist as well as surviving alcohol addiction and a drummer who had to adapt his drum kit so he could continue playing after he lost an arm in a car accident.
Women can rock too and Heart have done this for almost 40 years.
The core of the band are sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, Ann's the voice and Nancy the guitarist and together they have had 7 albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard charts and even had a No.1 hit song with These Dreams in 1985.

The Sound are one of the newest radio stations around.
Dedicated to playing rock music from the 60's, 70's and 80's this compilation CD features such great rock songs as Don't Fear The Reaper by The Blue Oyster Cult, Dream Police by Cheap Trick and Keep On Loving You by REO Speedwagon.
Looking for some head banging rock? Then look no further. Pure Hard Rock is the CD for you.
Featuring classic rock and heavy metal songs by Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Ted Nugent and many more there is something here for every fan.
The greatest hits of mullet rock has never looked so good.
Double shot bluesBlues is the grand daddy of rock. Pretty much every rock artist and band have gained their inspiration and style from blues music.
Its changed and adapted over the years but blues still rocks on and this CD has features the likes of Janis Joplin, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Robert Cray, The Allman Brothers and so many other great blues exponents.
If you've like some of the above you might also want to check out some (if not all) of the following bands: Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Bad Company, ZZ Top, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Styx. Joe Walsh, The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin.
