Scrubs immediately comes to mind, though it's not a very current reference. I still listen to Colin Hay thanks to these scenes. And this one.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Had to double check myself but that's the guy from men at work.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Silicon Valley. The songs they played at the end of every episode were pretty much universally bangers.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Not a show, but Tales From the Borderlands introduced me to Jungle, possibly my favourite music artist right now, as well as a few other gems.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

The episode intro with "To The Top" by Twin Shadow is amazing.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Jungle fuckin rocks

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Breaking Bad & Atlanta both had many new discoveries for me. Twin peaks s3 had some amazing music but I was aware of the majority of the artist beforehand

Edit: add Sharp Objects. Amazing sound design and found a few new gems

[–] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Top Gun soundtrack definitely sets the standard.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If we're doing movies, Pretty in Pink was always my jam.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Grosse Pointe Blank's soundtrack is absolutely amazing.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Venture Brothers and J. G. Thirwell.

Cowboy Bebop and Yoko Kanno.

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

Definitely Bebop!

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Smallville always had well curated songs for each episode.. at the time some were fairly obscure bands

Sons of anarchy had some really good cover versions of songs (or a specific song I don't remember)

It was very good but rubbed me the wrong way for some weird random reason

[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Katey Sagal's cover of Bird on a Wire is one of most extraordinary things ever recorded. Tears every time.

Songs of Anarchy is pretty brilliant all around.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Definitely Arcane for a start. I'll probably think of others later.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Americans. Whoever did the soundtrack for that show was amazing. Really great 80s music.

[–] Scirocco@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Agreed on The Americana

Justified introduced me to modern gangsta crossover folk music

The Bear has an awesome soundtrack

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Peacemaker! So many good songs from bands I've never heard of. Especially Wig Wam and Band-Maid.

[–] Thewhizard@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Everything from Jody Hill / Danny McBride: Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals, Righteous Gemstones all have amazing soundtracks.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Righteous Gemstones has some great music. Not really into country or gospel either, but they found a few winners that work for me.

[–] CarCdrCons@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Letterkenny introduced me to Japanther, Black Mountain, DZ Deathrays, and a bunch of other bands that would never hit my recommendations on any streaming services.

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago
[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

Rick and Morty

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Stargate Universe

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago
[–] R3D4CT3D@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

detroiters has some good motown, soul & punk songs.

this is a great question!

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Final Space. They had a fairly unknown artist make masterpieces for them.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago

The outros in Hit Monkey introduced me to a lot of new artists. Here's a playlist of some of them: Hit Monkey

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Breaking Bad and Stargate Universe both come to mind. Also, a couple from House M.D.

As a person with an interest in the history of movies I got throw in The Big Chill. It was the OG film soundtrack, I’m pretty sure it was the first soundtrack to hit the billboard top 10 albums in a time when that meant something and is full of ‘50s & ‘60s bangers.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

CSI Miami had a Papa Roach song I liked a lot better than that cheap knockoff of the original CSI.

[–] Dg2445@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

So many good recs on here. True Detective S1 really nailed it for me though.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 2 points 3 months ago

Dark on Netflix

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago
[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The show was kinda lame, but Shrill had a pretty rocking soundtrack

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Sharp Objects Ep 2 Intro and another one by The Acid that I can’t recall which episode it was in.

Ep 2 end credits of Chainsaw Man had Zutomayo and while I believe I’ve heard of them before in passing, that song made me actively listen to them.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The soundtrack for euphoria was amazing- in context anyway, been meaning to look some of it up.

[–] aeki@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

Killing Eve. I got into so many artists only from the soundtrack.

[–] polarpear11@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

I loved cliff martinez's ost for "the knick" breaking historical accuracy that obviously did the show really well.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Supernatural and Kansas
