1. Stranger Things (Netflix)
The music in Stranger Things defines its atmosphere and characters. The synth-heavy score by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein sets a haunting and nostalgic tone. Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill became a global hit after it was used in Season 4. The song played during Max’s emotional fight against Vecna, symbolizing hope and survival. The soundtrack amplifies the emotional pull of every scene and brings 1980s nostalgia to life. Without its music, the show would lose much of its impact and emotional weight. It would not resonate as deeply with viewers or feel as iconic.
