The latest adventure of the Guardians of the Galaxy -at least from the hand of James Gunn, who definitely joins the competition- is already in movie theaters, and beyond an adventure full of twists, excitement and memorable characters, there’s a returning protagonist in the saga: its soundtrack.

And we are not talking about the soundtrack composed by John Murphy, which again creates the perfect atmosphere for the adventure that Gunn tells us this time, but the songs between the sequences are just the icing on the cake.

If already in the first film we were duped by Blue Swede’s ‘Hooked on a feeling’ and in the second ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ by Electric Light Orchestra, in this one there is another catalog to enjoy from beginning to end.

It should be remembered that the 80s-inspired choice it’s justified. Guardians revolves around its leader, Peter Quill, a human from Earth abducted by aliens when he was just a child, so the only memory he took from his planet was a leisure that was based on cartoons, walkmans and lots of music. And this Volume 3 is no different.

This denouement -Marvel usually closes its sagas after three films, except for Thor: Love and Thunder– continues one of the open fronts left by the sequel, as well as investigating Rocket’s origin in order to save him. And although the plot requires some tension, the soundtrack does not leave aside the mythical optimism that we have been seeing since 2014.

If you’ve already seen the movie and you’re wondering which songs have played at each moment, don’t worry, because in LOS40 we know what themes play throughout the film.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Soundtrack List

1. Creep – Acoustic – Radiohead
2. Crazy On You – Heart 
3. Since You Been Gone – Rainbow
4. In The Meantime – Spacehog
5. Reasons – Earth, Wind & Fire
6. Do You Realize?? – The Flaming Lips 
7. We Care a Lot – Faith No More
8. Koinu no Carnival – From ‘Minute Waltz’ – EHAMIC 
9. I’m Always Chasing Rainbows – Alice Cooper 
10. San Francisco – The Mowgli’s 
11. Poor Girl – X 
12. This Is The Day – The The 
13. No Sleep Till Brooklyn – Beastie Boys
14. Dog Days Are Over – Florence + The Machine 
15. Badlands – Bruce Springsteen

From Creep, which opens the film in the best way to Springsteen, there are several songs that represent the best combo for this latest film of the Guardians. There’s everything, although the presence of Florence + The Machine is striking, since it’s a song of the 2010s. However, we have to say that it’s also justified in the plot. Ver más

Regardless of what it’s going on on screen, this soundtrack has won again the applause of the public and represents the perfect acclimatization to the film. It’s a clear success! Will James Gunn continue to exude that good taste in his DC stage? Be that as it may, his legacy at Marvel is already timeless.

And remember that Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 is now available in movie theaters!
