NetflixStranger Things is back with a bang, and Episodes 1-4 feature banging soundtracks, with every song and the corresponding artist listed below.
Stranger Things has given the world a cast of amazing characters to root for, as well as terrifying monsters to spice up our collective nightmares.
With a story that’s set in the 1980s, the sci-fi series also features hits from one of the great music decades, with the teens of Hawkins listening to a combination of pop, soul, and Eddie Munson’s favorite, rock.
Season 4 gave us an iconic sequence that was underscored by Kate Bush classic ‘Running Up That Hill,’ so to find out if Stranger Things has managed to equal or top that in Season 5, scroll down. Just be warned of SONG SPOILERS ahead…
