Last year fans were all over the soundtrack for The Vampire Diaries Season 1, so I figured that with the Season 2 DVD and Blu-ray release date announced that CW would also share some info on the Season 2 soundtrack, but sadly, there’s no news yet.

If CW does make a Season 2 soundtrack, what songs from the list above should be on it?
– Moonlight
The Birthday Massacre – “I Think We’re Alone Now”
That’s already an iconic song moment for the series. And The Birthday Massacre song Happy Birthday from Season 1’s 162 Candles (episode 8) should have been on the first soundtrack.
I admit it: The Birthday Massacre is one of my favorite bands. Regardless, they are a great fit with The Vampire Diaries.
