Differing from the norm of creating a soundtrack of recent artists, with songs that barely (if ever) feature in the movie the album is promoting, the Guardians soundtrack tapped into that warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia, while helping you get to know Star Lord a little better.
Not only was “Awesome Mix Vol. 1” a Billboard chart topper in the Soundtrack realm, it also did so without releasing any new music whatsoever.
So again, it doesn’t need to happen, but we wouldn’t be opposed to seeing Stephen Strange’s musical tastes on display on Amazon anytime soon.
While he certainly isn’t required by any means to have his own “Mystical Mix Vol. 1,” it’s undeniable how popular the practice became when Guardians of the Galaxy used it back in 2014.
