2* Music/GodspeedYouBlackEmperor's death knell, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBw7k85uaDQ "East Hastings"]]. According to director Creator/DannyBoyle, the Canadian post-rock outfit's music was a big inspiration in creating the doom-and-gloom atmosphere of the movie.
3* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST2H8FWDvEA In the House - In a Heartbeat]]" is an epic song, and manages to suit both creeping paranoia ''and'' pulse-pumping action at once.
4** The song was awesome enough to have its main melody used in a piece of BackgroundMusic for the zombie apocalypse anime ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead''.
5** The general scrumdiddlyumptiousness of this track is evidenced by the amount of times other composers have tried to rip it off. In this trailer for ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHFCZBKfugg&t=1m43s Franklyn]]'', for example.
6* They also made a very good choice for the scene with [[spoiler:Jim's parents]] - rather than going for AmazingFreakingGrace, they went with a quiet, simple, underplayed rendition of "Abide With Me."
7* The more simple and dreamlike pieces are just as powerful and just as fun to listen to. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UibEbkqfF7M See]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klyi8NlxmWo for]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8bEQV72LH0 yourself]].
8* Grandaddy's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01tL_YOsrCo AM 180]] also appears, in epic fashion, during a particularly happy scene.
