The Big Picture There are few television shows, especially of the long-running variety, that have as exceptional a soundtrack as Supernatural. On the surface, you might not think that a show about hunting ghosts, monsters, demons, and other creatures that go bump in the night would often utilize music in a diegetic capacity, but then, you'd be wrong.
Despite a few small pitfalls, the first season of Supernatural was a breakout year that set the tone for the show. Its classic rock soundtrack — including hits from AC/DC, Foreigner, Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and many others — made a lasting impact on the fans while giving us a glimpse into the lives of Sam and Dean Winchester.
Aside from some tent revival piano music, there isn't much to this Supernatural episode in terms of a soundtrack for the majority of it. It's a standard hunt where Sam and Dean, after Dean discovers the source of his healing, discover who is holding the Reaper at bay and use it to take out folks around this small Nebraskan town.
"It was a new thing," Phil Sgriccia noted to Supernatural Then and Now hosts Rob Benedict and Richard Speight, Jr., and he's absolutely right. Streaming was not a thing back in 2006 when the first season of Supernatural wrapped up, and the iTunes Store had only just begun carrying television shows digitally. There was no way for the producers or even the network to understand the legal landscape of music rights in a digital or streaming age.
