“Supernatural,” the CW show that gave us the iconic monster-hunting brother duo Sam and Dean Winchester, turned 20 this month. Not only is the horror series a renowned part of American pop culture and internet history, but it also brought us 15 years’ worth of rock songs to jam out to. As a longtime fan (and classic rock enthusiast), here are my top 10 and some honorable mentions.

Honorable Mention #3: “Scooby Doo Theme” by David Mook and Ben Raleigh

Episode 13x16: “Scoobynatural”

Anyone who stuck through all 15 seasons of “Supernatural” remembers the crossover episode with Scooby and the Mystery Inc. That episode where the gang learns they aren’t invincible due to the spirit of a child haunting the universe-equivalent of a Firestick that sucked Sam, Dean, and Castiel into an episode of “Scooby Doo,” is campy and everything the audience wanted. We got our PG-13 “Scooby Doo” because of “Supernatural” and I will be forever grateful (even if it’s not the “What’s New Scooby Doo?” theme by Simple Plan).

Honorable Mention #2: “Heat of the Moment” by Asia

Episode 03x11: “Mystery Spot”

I can’t hear this song without thinking of the infinite Tuesday time loop episode caused by the archangel Gabriel, who was cosplaying as the Norse demigod Loki. Even now, after being a fan for almost a decade, this song is a wild inclusion on a show that’s never truly taken itself seriously, setting a bright tone for one of the goofiest supernatural episodes to date. It’s a running joke within the fandom and is a huge feature on most “Supernatural” playlists.

Honorable Mention #1: “Carry on Wayward Son” by Kansas

Every time my dad hears this song on the radio or in a store, he makes sure to tell me. The unofficial theme song for the show, “Carry on Wayward Son” has been featured on merchandise, in promotions, and more. It’s such a good song outside of the show, and despite being featured at least once every season, this song can’t ever be overplayed.

Onto the real rankings…

#10 “Wheel in the Sky” by Journey

Episode 02x03: “Bloodlust”

An episode full of vampires, cults, and old frenemies, “Wheel in the Sky” is featured during the pre-season recap and reminds watchers of the brothers’ past losses. This song hits differently when watching it play over the car accident that landed Sam and Dean in the hospital the season prior and watching their dad trade his soul for Dean’s life in an episode recap… though maybe I’m just a Journey lover.

#9 “Rock Of Ages” by Def Leppard

Episode 01x05: “Bloody Mary,” 01x08: “Bugs,” and 05x22: “Swan Song”

Season one is known for its classic rock, giving us a spotlight look at how Dean uses music to stay connected to his dad. Due to licensing issues with Netflix after it aired on the CW, I only know of it in “Swan Song,” but as a song purely in the dad rock category, it rocks.

#8 “Bad Moon Rising” by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Episode 01x22: “Devil’s Trap,” 02x01: “In My Time of Dying,” and 07x16: “Out With The Old”

Creedence Clearwater Revival stands on its own, no matter the era or feature. “Bad Moon Rising” has been featured in many episodes across multiple seasons, but it’s something I heard before I even watched the show. Creedence Clearwater Revival lands firmly in the anti-establishment territory that the show leans into, with its episodes dealing heavily in religious themes and corruption, and fits with the late 70s/early 80s rock vibe we get between the two brothers.

#7 “Hells Bells” by AC/DC

Episode 03x01: “The Magnificent Seven”

AC/DC appears many times on the “Supernatural” soundtrack, especially with a character so into classic and hard rock like Dean Winchester, but “Hell’s Bells” takes the cake. It’s the song my dad and I have listened to the most out of all of them. From road trips to morning drives to school, this song holds a special place in my heart that not even “Back in Black” can rival.

6# “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon

Episodes 10x04: “Paper Moon,” and 15x10: “The Hero’s Journey”

Featured twice throughout 15 seasons, “Werewolves of London” was always that song where my dad would complain if it was on a Halloween mix on Pandora. However, it’s a song I still enjoy year-round because of its features in “Paper Moon” and “The Hero’s Journey” (it’s also a banger).

#5 “Poison” by Bell Biv DeVoe

Episode 07x18: “Party On, Garth”

Though not quite dad rock, “Poison” is featured when Garth, a fellow hunter who uses sock puppets to communicate with victims, is vacating a property after taking care of the entities inside. Garth, however, is a character that embodies whimsy, making this choice for his feature interesting.

#4 “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf

Episodes 07x23: “Survival of the Fittest,” and 12x03: “The Foundry”

Another song featured twice, “Born to be Wild” makes its appearance in seasons seven and 12. I’ve heard this song at least a hundred times, and it stands as one of the best classic rock songs of all time.

#3 “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor

Episode 04x06: “Yellow Fever”

The entire episode of “Yellow Fever” is hilarious and full of gags that highlight Jensen Ackles’ comedic timing. The song, however, isn’t actually a part of the meat of the episode. It was a blooper included at the end of the episode where Ackles lip-syncs to the song on top of the show’s famous Chevy Impala.

#2 “O Death” covered by Jen Titus (original by Lloyd Chandler)

Episode 05x21: “Two Minutes to Midnight”

A chilling masterpiece featured as an introduction to one of the Four Horsemen, Death, “O Death” may not be classic rock per se, but it is still one of the most memorable songs in the entire show.

#1 “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” by Blue Öyster Cult

Episode 01x12: “Faith”

Known as the “more cowbell” song from that Will Ferrell SNL skit, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” is a song that Netflix watchers miss out on, as it’s featured in the season one episode titled “Faith.” This is my favorite out of all the songs featured on “Supernatural” (and there are a lot of songs), not just because of the feature, but because it’s an entire five minutes about how love transcends death while dealing with your own mortality (and features some pretty good cowbell).
