Stranger Things not only introduced its fans to the eerie town of Hawkins and its ethereal characters but also delivered a remarkable musical experience. The music served as a conduit, guiding viewers through moments of joy, heartache, and even the depths of despair experienced. One unforgettable instance was ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush, a melody that elevated Max from the clutches of death by Vecna. The impact was so profound that Spotify even curated a dedicated playlist for the show’s devoted fans.

The musical journey ignited a frenzy on X formerly known as Twitter, marked by a trail of discussions. It all began when a dedicated fan account tweeted their cherished track from the show, none other than ‘The First I Love You.’ This tune was a follow-up to ‘The First Lie’ featured in season 2. The song made its debut in Chapter 7 when Robin unveiled her feelings for Steve, and then in Chapter 8 when Eleven reciprocated her love for Mike. This set off a domino effect as fans shared their personal favorites.

The show’s iconic music was already quite distinctive, with its title track being a standout. ‘The First I Love You,’ composed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, is a poignant symphony of synths. Despite not being penned in the eighties, it carried a timeless quality that made it feel like a musical relic from that era.

In response to this musical exploration, fans eagerly hopped on the bandwagon to select their beloved tracks from the show. Some found selections that harmonized perfectly with their tastes, while others ventured into more distinctive and unique choices.

Fans pick their top pick from Stranger Things

A fan opted for ‘Heroes’ by Peter Gabriel as their top pick. While the original rendition belonged to David Bowie, the version featured in the show managed to pay homage to the original score quite admirably adjusted to the most emotional moments of the show.

Another user’s choice was ‘A Realm Spoiled by Mankind’. This selection resonated perfectly with Vecna’s journey in the eerie realm of the Upside Down, replete with its own set of eye-opening revelations.

Many users found a deep connection with ‘Kids’ as their top choice from the show, a musical selection that struck a chord in their hearts.

Of course, who could ever forget ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush? This renowned track played a pivotal role, so much so that Netflix released a remix version of it as a dope mashup of season 4.

Selecting a favorite track from the entire series was indeed a daunting task. Moreover, the anticipation for what musical gems Season 5 would bring is palpable, akin to the heightened excitement of an impending grand finale.
