I still feel pretty guilty about watching Grey’s Anatomy. I mean, for all of its dramatic pauses and showstopping monologues, it’s still a pretty stupid soap opera.

Despite the show’s questionable quality, the music guys seem to have some pretty good taste. There’s usually some good power poppy stuff going on in the background as Izzie bickers with whoever or McDreamy acts all indecisive about whatever or Christina gets mad and storms off wherever.

Below are some of the songs they’ve featured and links to either mp3s or videos. Enjoy.

Moonbabies — War on Sound

When I first heard this song on Grey’s Anatomy, I was really confused. You know how it is when you’re a kid and your mom shows up at school? Or your college friends appear at your office? That’s the same feeling of out-of-placeness I had when this obscure band I found showed up during the closing moments of a season one episode. The Moonbabies are a Swedish duo and this song is a super-catchy, piano-driven anthem.

The Boy Least Likely To — Be Gentle With Me (follow the link and play the song on the page)

The Boy Least Likely To is the twee-est band that ever twee-ed. Lots of little toy instruments and xylophones and snuggly British accents to curl up in. I can’t remember which episode this appeared in, but I’m sure the mood it was meant to portray was “mischief.”

This is one of the best songs on the Scottish supergroup’s second album. I remember this happened during some sort of heart transplant surgery.

Tegan and Sara — Monday Monday Monday (click the link, click on audio, download the song)

The Grey’s Anatomy folks really like Tegan and Sara. They’ve used no less than four or five songs by them in the two seasons the show’s been on the air. Monday Monday Monday hasn’t been on the show, but it’s a good song and the only one with a free mp3 download.

Iron and Wine — Naked As We Came

This song has been used on multiple episodes. Mr. And Wine’s quiet little lullabies are very conducive to pensive, thought-collecting moments. Again, I can’t remember which specific scenes this was used for, but I’d like to think it was played during a scene wherein Meredith reflects on how much she sucks .
