Of course, a real fan favourite is his surreal mystery-horror series Twin Peaks, which ran for two seasons, along with a movie, before being brought back for a third run in 2017.

The series, starring Kyle MacLachlan, is known for its unique narrative and uncanny style, but also for its phenomenal soundtrack from composer Angelo Badalamenti.

Looking to relive the show through its music, and soak in the atmosphere Lynch and Badalamenti so masterfully created? Then read on for the full soundtrack to all three seasons of Twin Peaks, as well as Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.
