Music plays an important role in Netflix series Firefly Lane.

The show, which is based on the 2008 novel of the same name, follows best friends Tully (Katherine Heigl) and Kate's (Sarah Chalke) through the ‘70s, ‘80s and in 2003, chronicling the highs and lows of their friendship.

As the timeline switches, songs are used to set the mood and tone of each decade.

This was the also case in the original novel, which featured Kate and Tully listening to a number of songs, several of which made it into the Netflix series.

From Laura Marling and Sia to Sinéad O'Connor, read on for a full list of songs in Firefly Lane season 1 and 2.
