1/ “Heroes” by Peter Gabriel

Album: Stranger Things: Season One & Two (Music From The Netflix Original Series) [2LP]

It is no secret that 'Stranger Things' is jam-packed full of nostalgic gems – one being Peter Gabriel's haunting and heart-tugging rendition of David Bowie's iconic track "Heroes". From the ups and downs of adolescence to Demogorgons, this cover perfectly encapsulated the struggles that our favorite gang of underdog misfits have overcome. 

2/ “Love You So Bad” by Ezra Furman

Album: Sex Education (Original Soundtrack)

From "Detty, detty pig!" to "One day, you're gonna meet someone who appreciates you for who you are. I mean, there's seven billion people on the planet. I know one of them is gonna climb up on a moon for you", 'Sex Education' has had all of us in stitches, tearing up and everything in-between. This particular track won the hearts of many when it soundtracked best friends Otis and Eric riding their bikes together, after a day full of classic mayhem.

3/ “Never Tear Us Apart" by The Teskey Brothers

Album: Outer Banks: Season 3 (Soundtrack from the Netflix Series)

Just like Peter Gabriel and David Bowie, The Teskey Brothers delivered a beautiful rendition of INXS' 1987 iconic track "Never Tear Us Apart", which featured in Episode 4 of the third season of 'Outer Banks'. 

4/ “You're The Heart" by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein

Album: Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 2 Vecna's World (Original Score From The Netflix Series) [Red 2LP]

It's safe to say that Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein are absolute synth gods, having scored the entirety of 'Stranger Things' over the years. "You're The Heart" is a prime example of this statement, masterfully capturing the emotional complex intensities of our heroes going through one of their biggest fights with villain Vecna.

5/ “Colours Of You” by Baby Queen

Album: Heartstopper OST

Written specifically for 'Heartstopper', Baby Queen had us all swooning over her gorgeous track "Colours Of You". Heartfelt and vulnerable to the core, this song beautifully portrayed Nick's journey of discovering himself and falling head over heels with Charlie.
