Music plays a large part in the show.

Most of the main or recurring characters on the show

have had their musical tastes revealed at one time or another.

Lorelai famously likes '80s music including

The Bangles, XTC, The Go-Go's, David Bowie, Metallica, U2, and Brian Eno,

and her old bedroom at her parents' home has

Duran Duran posters on the walls.

Lane is a music enthusiast, and her band,

Hep Alien (which is an anagram of producer Helen Pai's name),

plays rock with different influences,

and Sebastian Bach, formerly of Skid Row, plays Gil, the band's guitarist.

In 2002, a soundtrack to the show was released

by Rhino Records, entitled

Our Little Corner of the World: Music from Gilmore Girls.

The CD booklet features anecdotes from show producers

Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino
