 Grey's Anatomy is favorite guilty pleasure. In a mere 14 episodes, the show has risen above the cliched soapy drama mold with sharp writing, intriguing storylines, multi-layered performances by a diverse and talented cast. It has reinvigorated the ensemble drama.
Therefore, it's no surprise that it's soundtrack is equally as engaging. The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights", used prominently in the show's first promotional advertisements, is an excellent opening. It is followed by the phenomenally brassy "Ruby Blue" (my eternal thanks to the music supervisors to introducing the amazing Roison Murphy into the mainstream). My favorite tracks include Rilo Kiley's "Portions for Foxes" (which was featured in the pilot episode), The Eames Era's "Could Be Anything", "Song Beneath the Song" by Maria Taylor, "Looking At The World From The Bottom Of A Well" by Mike Doughty, and what could possibly be the intern's theme, "Whatever Gets You Through The Day" by The Radio. The CD ends with an extended version of the hauntingly catchy theme song, "Cosy In The Rocket" by Psapp. It's an expertly crafted assortment of music that is a perfect companion to an expertly crafted television show. A must for any Grey's Anatomy fan, but really, a must for anyone who appreciates good music.

I really am enjoying the soundtrack that I purchased. It has alot of the songs that are on the Grey's Anatomy show that attracted me to the CD in the first place. I am so glad that I found it on Amazon as I had been looking for it at many local stores and was unable to find it.
It's a weird phenomenum these days. So much of the best groundbreaking and quality music can be found on TV. Generally, it's not in the form of music videos either. It's in commercials and in shows with solid music supervisors.
