Here Are The Big Jams From "Stranger Things 2"

Pardon me while I cry to Cyndi Lauper forever.

The first season of Stranger Things was fantastic for so many reasons, and one of those reasons was the music. It featured retro earworms by artists like Toto, Jefferson Airplane, the Bangles, Joy Division, and the Clash.

Of course it also relied heavily on the brilliant and haunting original soundtrack by composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. And Stranger Things 2 is no different. We've got brand new original songs from the composers...

...and the Duffer Brothers already promised us an even better array of popular hits this time around. "There have been some artists who like the show, so we've gotten some really big songs for not extravagant prices. Musicians seem to have responded to the show," Matt Duffer told BuzzFeed News last month.

And boyyy did they deliver. Below are the big jams from Stranger Things 2, from Pat Benatar to Metallica to the Police. We couldn't have asked for a better Snow Ball 1984 playlist.
