Zombies are very popular now in movies and pop culture, so it was only a matter of time before we got a zombie TV series. As it happens, AMC's "The Walking Dead" is pretty dam good. I've enjoyed it immensely, and the quality is better than many big budget movies. Thus we needed to put together a good rock song soundtrack for the powerful series: songs that would liven up to the show itself. So we've found the best songs about zombies and the living dead for a Walking Dead play list.
Here are the Top 40 zombie songs for the Walking Dead:
1 - Zombie by the Cranberries, an obvious topper.
2 - Death on Two Legs by Queen from A Night At the Opera
3 - All you Zombies by the Hooters
4 - City of the Dead by the Clash
5 - We Are the Dead by David Bowie
6 - Alive Again by Chicago
7 - Wake the Dead by Alice Cooper
8 - Cool Zombie by Adam Ant
9 - Super Freak by Rick James
10 - Dead Girls of London by Frank Zappa
11 - Better Off Dead by Elton John
12 - Wake Up Dead Man by U2
13 - Shake The Disease by Depeche Mode (1985)
14 - Raise the Dead by Phantom Planet
15 - Astro Zombies by the Misfits
16 - Dead Boy's Poem by Nightwish
17 - I love the Dead by Alice Cooper, and also Sick Things from the same LP Billion Dollar Babies.
18 - Walking After You by Foo Fighters, except sometimes they're running after you!
19 - Wake Up Dead by Megadeth
20 - Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) by David Bowie
