Westworld soundtrack: Complete guide to all songs featured in the show

Westworld (2016-2022) is a science fiction drama that dives into the world of technological sentience, told through the eyes of two "hosts," named Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) and Maeve Millay (Thandiwe Newton). These high-tech robots look just like humans at the Westworld theme park created by Delos Inc.

The show explores free will, control, and the illusion of an objective truth. So, the soundtrack matches the intensity of the premise and includes an original score by Iranian-German music composer and Grammy Award nominee Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones). He also covered popular songs by artists like Radiohead, The Cure, and The Rolling Stones to match the show's tone.
