Check out 10 of our favorite songs from the ABC series and stay tuned weekly here at Ology for a look back and a look forward to some of the best soundtracks that some of the greatest television shows have featured. Some of our collection will of course include One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, Friday Night Lights and even current series like Gleeand The Newsroom.
