TV Shows with Great Soundtracks .. not for composing Pt 2

3. Beverly Hills 90210 - This show not only was popular , but featured alot of artists during the college years of the show and not only their music , but had them perform it as well . The Cardigans , a very well -known Scotish Band , performed on the Season 7 Finale at Kelly's Grad Party . They even thanked them for so called " inviting " them to perform . It was pretty funny . Then the year before , The Goo Dolls performed Numerous Songs from their first album , so that was huge for them at the time , both the show and the band . The credits , had great shots of Beverly Hills and great music as well . Ace of Base , Dave Matthews Band , alot of REM , especially in the later years . REM's classic " Nightswimming " , off the Album " Automatic for the People" , played when Brandon left the show during season 8 . That song I heard back when it came out was always the song to play at college parties . And It was always played as the last song , so in a way , it made sense to play that song . Considering he was leaving the show that started his career in Hollywood .

4. Entourage - Entourage .. is the best show on HBO right now . It's funny , and the music makes it . At first I was speketical , ya know . With Mark Whalberg Exec . Producing . I admit the first season , was just ok , but after that it's been sick as hell ever since . The music is all Rap , and it fits in well with the whole Hollywood Lifestyle of the show . When the credits roll , they play all that really gangster rap , and half of it is Underground , yet it works . They made Saigon a star , he's everywhere now . It's crazy how music can make a show and the artist more popular and rememerable . I can't wait for season 5 to start .
