The Guardians of the Galaxy movies wouldn’t be the same without their amazing soundtrack, and the third installment has quite a few epic tracks in store. The full tracklist has been revealed and it will include iconic songs by Radiohead, Beastie Boys, Bruce Springsteen, and more.
Some of the songs on the soundtrack were already revealed in the film’s previous trailers, including “In the Meantime” by Spacehog and “Since You Been Gone” by Rainbow. The film’s director previously James Gunn revealed he had 181 potential songs in the running, and 17 eventually ended up making the cut.
The previous two soundtracks, Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, mostly consisted of 1970s pop songs, but Gunn decided to branch out the third time around. The soundtrack will have a nostalgic feel to it, but it will also feature some modern-day songs, such as “Dog Days Are Over” by The Florence + the Machine.
Gunn also said that the third film will have a much darker tone than the previous two because it kicks off with Radiohead’s acoustic version of “Creep”.
Awesome Mix Vol. 3 will be released digitally on May 3, followed by a vinyl version on May 6 and a cassette version on July 7. You can already listen to it on Spotify and Apple Music, as part of the Guardians of the Galaxy: The Official Mixtape playlist, featuring songs from all three films.
