Of course, it goes without saying: Beware of spoilers for all four seasons.ġ1. So, take inventory of the 11 best needle drops and let us know what we missed in the comments below. As you’ll read below, these songs amplify the greatest moments of each season, capitalizing on their respective familiarity to take us higher and higher, to borrow from Jackie Wilson. No, these are the inescapable drops, the ones that the Duffer Brothers and music supervisor Nora Felder put front and center - and for good reason.

To add to that, we also tried to skew away from the diegetic use of music as this series is flooded with background tunes that we all keep on constant rotation.
That’s not to say they aren’t worthy - “Kids”, “Eulogy”, and “You’re a Fighter” alone are top five material - but they’re technically not needle drops. Like any D&D campaign, though, we’ve got some ground rules: For starters, we didn’t include any of the score by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. These are the tracks that made us laugh, made us cry, and made us fall in love with this world. With that in mind, we thought we’d turn back time - ahem, to borrow from Cher - and sort through the best needle drops to hit Hawkins, Indiana. And by proxy, it’s giving us some of the strongest marriages of sound and screen to date. In fact, music is so vital at this point, it’s saving some of our favorite characters’ lives. The music has framed this franchise, not only by offering instant blasts to the past, but by delivering emotional left hooks that bruise the heart as often as they tickle our toes.
It’s hard to imagine this series would be nearly as ubiquitous as it stands all these years later without its essential needle drops.
Sorry Eleven, and no shade to Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but the most important character in Stranger Things is arguably the soundtrack.
