is her biggest calling card these days. A cultural sensation, the foundation of the show and its fandom is an inherent nostalgia for '80s culture, style and storylines. Of course, that encapsulates its soundtrack as well, from its now-famous theme song to montages and diegetic music. It's such a major facet that the soundtrack to season three, already out on CD and on streaming services, sees vinyl release on Friday via Sony Music's Legacy Recordings.
While the task of crafting an '80s-era soundtrack is a gift for any music supervisor, Felder notes it can ultimately be tricky to pinpoint songs that were released in the exact timeframe of the show. "Season three takes place in the summer of 1985, and we try to use songs that came out with the year of that season," says Felder.
While the aforementioned Hart was an '80s star and "American Pie" is obviously an iconic cut from classic rock era, Felder also tries to do what she dubs "retroactive A&R" -- bringing lesser known songs to the forefront. Case in point: the use of an obscure track dubbed "Open the Door" courtesy the band Gentlemen Afterdark.
