* In Ep. 1 of season 3 we have Alex's fantasy of Gene in a car chase set to "Ride of the Valkyries".
* The riot scene in 3x06, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61zmLOh5CX4 set to U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday"]].
* 3x08's music choices: MJ's "Beat It", Wham!'s "Club Tropicana", Vangelis' "Chariots of Fire", and Music/DavidBowie's "Heroes". As well as the brief, apropos reprise of "In the Air Tonight".

%%What two? And why do they deserve a special mention? This example has no content or context.
* The use of the title song in the finale of ''Life On Mars'' is a bittersweet example.
* The use of Bowie's "The Jean Genie" in 1x04 (with Sam and Gene dancing in the club) and Clapton's "Crossroads" in 2x07 (where Sam and Gene escape from Chris and Ray).
* "Vienna" by Ultravox in [=A2A=] 1x06. ("This means nothing to meeeeeee!")
* The ending to [=A2A=] 1x08, using Supertramp's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NquxiqvlfK8 "Take The Long Way Home"]].
* [=A2A=] 2x02 has the first appearance of a song many fans were waiting for: "In the Air Tonight" by Music/PhilCollins. The lights in CID going out as Gene exits to the drum solo is just the icing on the cake.

* Duran Duran's "Careless Memories", as used in the Audi Quattro introduction scene with the powered-up, revved-up guitar playing by Andy Taylor just before Alex Drake gets introduced to the Gene Genie in the very first episode.
