ivyficSince I seem to have a lot of whiny posts lately, here's a squeeful one.
I acquired all of the incidental songs from Supernatural over the weekend. I am having much fun listening to them. I'm going to take it as a given that the music we here over them driving away at the end of the episode, over the opening, or pretty much anywhere that it's not obviously coming from something on camera (like the frat party in "Hook Man") that it's in Dean's tape collection.
Which means he doesn't just have your standard Classic Rock radio station playlist. He's got Bad Company, Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Walsh, Lynyrd Skynyrd - but not just the stuff they're famous for. There are some b-sides in there too. Which leads me to the conclusion: Dean must own a Deep Purple album or two. It's inevitable. It is my fondest wish to see them use "Smoke on the Water" on the show.
Of course I've been thinking about this too much. Like, in "Hell House," Dean is listening to "A Fire of Unknown Origin" by Blue Oyster Cult when he pranks Sammy. Is it possible for Dean to listen to this song unironically? The lyrics are "death came creeping down the hallway" and "a fire of unknown origin took my baby away," which is a little too creepily close to home for the Winchesters. (In listening to more of BOC I've decided that they are to English metal what Rammstein is to German. That is, a good band completely inhibited by the stupidity of their lyrics.)
And the use of "Renegade" by Styx. I know that song was inspired by the first Alan Parsons Project album, "Tales of Mystery and Imagination." So that means Dean is one step removed from APP, which is just a baby step away from Genesis and Yes and Pink Floyd. ... I don't really see Dean listening to prog rock, though, do you? (Of course now I have a picture of Dean singing "Lady" to Cassie.)
I'm also sure Dean must own some Jethro Tull (though probably the crappy albums). And somewhere in his tape collection is "Tush" by ZZ Top. That should be his theme song.
