Soundtracks: Our Guardians of the Galaxy Mixtapes

Movies and soundtracks go hand-in-hand, and aside from those of us that are audiophiles, often go overlooked. The way in which the Guardians of the Galaxy movies movies utilize their respective soundtracks is a little different than normal. Rather than accompanying the movie to help set up emotional undertones, the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks are Peter Quill’s story and his last connection to both his mother and Earth.

So I posed the question to the Project Nerd team, if you were in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, what would be your mixtape. Now as a side note, we did not confine our choices to a specific time period like how Guardians of the Galaxy does, as simply put, that is Quill’s story, not ours.
