5.) “World Destruction” by Johnny Rotten and Afrika Bambaataa
Kicking off Season 4 with dark menace and paranoia, the track perfectly fits The Sopranos in a post-9/11 world.
4.) “Rock The Casbah” by The Clash
Tony chases New York mobster Phil Leotardo while this classic from The Clash plays in the somewhat hysterical scene. “Where ya gonna go?!”

3.) “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory” by Johnny Thunders
The former lead guitarist for the New York Dolls is given center stage in this prophetic Season 2 scene that subtly predicts the ultimate demise of Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero.
2.) “Every Breath You Take” by The Police mashed up with “The Peter Gunn Theme” by Henry Mancini
You take The Police’s greatest song and mash it up with a classic television show theme song, mix in FBI surveillance and gangsters, and you get magic.
1.) “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey
What else could be number one? The Sopranos literally took this song, resurrected it, and made it a singalong at bars and sports events alike. Series Finale. The End. Perfection.
