Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 finally blasts off in cinemas this week! The highly anticipated GOTG sequel features the world’s favorite band of intergalactic misfits and continues their action-packed, irreverent, and epic space adventures led by Peter Quill a.k.a Star-Lord as they patrol and protect the universe, doing mercenary work in the wake of the popularity and fame they garnered from saving Xandar.
In true GOTG fashion, this awesome news should be celebrated with an awesome music. We've got the full setlist for the upcoming movie and it's surely going to be a lot of fun tunes to rock out to in the movies. Peter Quill's first mixtape fueled their first series of rambunctious adventures in outer space, the first film filled with songs from the past played from an old-school walkman–classic! And for the young 'uns who don't have a clue of what said 'walkman' is, here's a refresher from Star-Lord himself:
Awesome music is in the heart of this superhero movie, and for volume two, the songs will be even more meaningful for Peter Quill because this new mixtape is his birthday gift from his mom after all those years it has been kept wrapped.
Listen now to 5 of the songs from the next mixtape, Awesome Mix Vol. 2, to get you revved up for the movie:
1. "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison
This 1970 release from the former Beatle was a chart-topper back in the day and has been re-released, reinvented, and covered by many artists.
