Grey's Anatomy is a great show for a number of reasons. One of my favorite, however, that few people talk about, is the music. Grey's Anatomy features some of the best up and coming talent that the music industry has to offer. After every episode, I go on line and check out what those awesome songs were on Grey's Anatomy that night and then I go to iTunes and I download them. Lot's of my favorite CD's have come from me first hearing about them on Grey's Anatomy.

Rilo Kiley, Corinne Bailey Rae, Snow Patrol, James Blunt, Iron & Wine, The Fray, Tegan and Sarah, and much more have all been featured on Grey's Anatomy. It's incredible, really. Creator Shonda Rhimes is a ridiculously huge music buff (every episode is title after a famous pop song) and it shows on Grey's Anatomy.

It is also beneficial to artists looking for publicity. In today's world it's harder for great bands to shine through, with the plethora of available bands out there who are saturating the market. Weeding out the bad from the good is a difficult task. When something like Grey's Anatomy can do the heavy lifting for you, its a huge weight off the shoulders of any music fan.

Grey's Anatomy is a great show and would be regardless of the music being used. However, there is no other show out there that uses music as well or with as much intelligence as Grey's Anatomy does. If you haven;t already you should buy the soundtracks or at least check out the great new bands that have their music showcased on Grey's Anatomy every week.
