All songs from BBC's Top Gear

Top Gear always use a good soundtrack for its program and it is always very hard to find out what the song they were playing was in a certain episode. Therefore, I thought I would list the two most useful sites that I have found in order to find the songs from Top Gear.

http://www.tv.com/top-gear-uk/show/27682/episode.html - This website can be used to find out which episode of Top Gear you were watching.

http://forums.finalgear.com/top-gear-episode-songs-season-6/06x04-june-19th-2005-a-5280/ - This website is a forum that lists every song that was played on an individual episode of Top Gear. It even has what minute the song was played at.

For Example: I was watching an episode of Top Gear and I wanted to know what song they were playing. All I knew was that
Richard Hammond tests 'Mondeo man's' new favourite car, the new BMW 3 Series. This is where I used tv.com http://www.tv.com/Top+Gear+(UK)/show/27682/episode.html?season=6&tag=paginator;6 to find which episode I was watching. It turns out that I was watching Season 6, Episode 4 – Aired: 6/19/2005. Once I found this I used this website/forum http://forums.finalgear.com/top-gear-episode-songs/ to find which song was playing. It turns out I was listening to the Kaiser Chiefs - Modern Way at 30:23 - 31:13.

I hope this helps you find the song you are looking for. Just use www.forums.finalgear.com & www.tv.com
