While The Walking Dead is known for its storyline, cinematography, and raw representation of what a zombie apocalypse might look like, it is also known for its diverse soundtrack. Spanning eleven seasons (2010-2022), the show features several songs, some even created solely for the show.
The official description of The Walking Dead reads,
This series follows a group of survivors during the zombie apocalypse. Sometimes the interpersonal conflicts present such danger that some grow willing to do anything to survive.
