Silicon Valley. The songs they played at the end of every episode were pretty much universally bangers.
Not a show, but Tales From the Borderlands introduced me to Jungle, possibly my favourite music artist right now, as well as a few other gems.
The episode intro with "To The Top" by Twin Shadow is amazing.
Breaking Bad & Atlanta both had many new discoveries for me. Twin peaks s3 had some amazing music but I was aware of the majority of the artist beforehand
Edit: add Sharp Objects. Amazing sound design and found a few new gems
The Venture Brothers and J. G. Thirwell.
Cowboy Bebop and Yoko Kanno.
Definitely Bebop!
The Top Gun soundtrack definitely sets the standard.
Grosse Pointe Blank's soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
Definitely Arcane for a start. I'll probably think of others later.
The Bear has an awesome soundtrack
Smallville always had well curated songs for each episode.. at the time some were fairly obscure bands
Remy Zero!
Letterkenny introduced me to Japanther, Black Mountain, DZ Deathrays, and a bunch of other bands that would never hit my recommendations on any streaming services.
Peacemaker! So many good songs from bands I've never heard of. Especially Wig Wam and Band-Maid.
Dark
Rick and Morty
Everything from Jody Hill / Danny McBride: Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals, Righteous Gemstones all have amazing soundtracks.
Righteous Gemstones has some great music. Not really into country or gospel either, but they found a few winners that work for me.
Sons of anarchy
Katey Sagal's cover of Bird on a Wire is one of most extraordinary things ever recorded. Tears every time.
Songs of Anarchy is pretty brilliant all around.
Stargate Universe
As a person with an interest in the history of movies I got throw in The Big Chill. It was the OG film soundtrack, I’m pretty sure it was the first soundtrack to hit the billboard top 10 albums in a time when that meant something and is full of ‘50s & ‘60s bangers.
The outros in Hit Monkey introduced me to a lot of new artists. Here's a playlist of some of them: Hit Monkey
So many good recs on here. True Detective S1 really nailed it for me though.
Dark on Netflix
Breaking Bad and Stargate Universe both come to mind. Also, a couple from House M.D.
CSI Miami had a Papa Roach song I liked a lot better than that cheap knockoff of the original CSI.
Lucifer
The show was kinda lame, but Shrill had a pretty rocking soundtrack
The soundtrack for euphoria was amazing- in context anyway, been meaning to look some of it up.
True Blood
Killing Eve. I got into so many artists only from the soundtrack.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
I loved cliff martinez's ost for "the knick" breaking historical accuracy that obviously did the show really well.
Mr. Robot
Scrubs immediately comes to mind, though it's not a very current reference. I still listen to Colin Hay thanks to these scenes. And this one.
Had to double check myself but that's the guy from men at work.
