The Vampire Diaries Songs: Music From Season 4, Episode 17

Any Vampire Diaries episode with a Ramones song is OK with us! There was also a stellar performance by Dead Sara, who contributed an exclusive cover of a Patti Smith song, “As the Angels.” The show flashed back to the 1970s, when Damon (Ian Somerhalder) had no emotions and was “borderline evil,” according to Elena (Nina Dobrev). But while the elder Salvatore was cold as ice, the music was hot. Props as always to TVD’s song selector, Chris Mollere.
