what bands would you choose and why? 

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Anything by the Hugo Largo, Cocteau Twins or This Mortal Coil would fit perectly in TP.

It's an impossible question though, because TP's mood was created so much by Badalamenti and Cruise (and obv. Lynch). It's possible that a completely different style of music would also fit with TP, but it's now impossible to separate the visuals and emotions from Badalamenti's brooding strings.

Pop scores are cheapo scores, ala network TV. TP production was decidedly NOT cheapo.

Stars Of The Lid or AIx Em Klemm wouldn't sound out of place at all, but then they remind me alot of Angelo's work and Lynch's ambient scapes quite alot anyway.

The song "Ice Creaks" by Ghastly City Sleep reminds me of Twin Peaks alot, and could quite easily be put into a scene smewhere. Imagine Julee Cruise but with (subtle) male vocals in there too. Or go have a listen.

TP's soundtrack is perfect, but I suppose some Brighter Death Now would do no harm here and there, like in the more disturbing scenes.

There was a fiish..iinn the percolatrr!

I firmly believe Leo was an avid fan of Whitesnake.  I can see him all hopped up on God knows what in his big rig singing along to Still of the Night on those lonely runs across state lines.  It's what got him through the night with his sanity in one piece for Shelly's sake.  However, I also bet he made Laura writhe on his red sports car to Here I Go Again and watched on in his sprayon jeans and matching jean jacket with Krokus logo on the back.  Now would I want to hear any of this in Twin Peaks?  Are you nuts? 

Who the bloody heck am I kidding?  I would love to see Mullet Boy rock out to these awesome tunes and then some at his local residence 123 Wifebeater Lane.  Working class martyr Leo.  Sighs.

I'm picturing Shelly and Leo's fights over the radio.  Leo would crank up his Ted Nugent, and Shelly probably has some tiny quiet radio out back by the washing machine where she would listen to Madonna or Cindy Lauper and dream of love.

Audrey would choose something to make herself seem older and sexier, like a sultry Billie Holiday or Nina Simone.

Laura? Hard to say, maybe the Pixies- sort of a manic forced happiness with lots of chaos underneath.

 I can't imagine any other music. The music is an important part of the whole TP experience for me.

During the scene where BOB kills Maddy I'd play The Beatles Helter Skelter. Backwards. Instead of "helter skelter" it sounds like "I likes Dead" when you play it backwards.

Continuing with the theme of period music, it would have been amusing if Bobby and Shelly were listening to Pretty Hate Machine in the truck. Like, when he changes the channel "The Only Time" came on. I could see them making out to "Kinda I Want To."

Or when he leaves the RR with her in the pilot, it's "Thieves" by Ministry on the jukebox. As they drive, he's rocking "So What."
