With the Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack the pressure was on for Marvel’s blockbuster to top the awesome mixtape of the original movie – here's every song featured in the sequel. Guardians Of The Galaxy was one of the more obscure Marvel comics prior to director James Gunn’s live-action adaptation, with the cosmic side of the property considered a risk. The success of the movie proved the cynics wrong, with audiences quickly growing attached to Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and his rogue band of space misfits.
Guardians Of The Galaxy also made music an integral part of the story, with Quill maintaining a connection to his late mother and Earth itself through his Awesome Mix Vol. 1 tape. This mixtape featured classic songs like “I’m Not In Love” by 10cc and “Cherrybomb” by The Runaways. The soundtrack became almost as popular as the movie, eventually turning platinum and becoming the second best-selling soundtrack album of 2014 in the U.S. behind Frozen. In addition to matching the quality of the first movie, the Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack also needed to meet the expectations of fans too.
