As E said, Man in the Wilderness by Styx is so perfect for Dean.   I remember going \O/ when it started playing in 8x01 as it showed Dean returning from Purgatory.  So perfect.   I have always loved this song.  Styx' Grand Illusion was/is one of my all time favorite albums.  The whole album is gold.  When it first came out I wore the grooves deeper in the album from all the times I played that album.  It's one of the albums I upgrade to new medium with each evolution of music platforms.   In fact, I had to go pull up the album on my iPhone and the album is playing now.  Brings back such memories of my college days.   :)

In curiosity I looked up the album on Wikipedia, and found this description of the album by Dennis DeYoung of Styx:

the album's theme was the struggle to overcome self-deluding superficiality in order to affirm one's genuine value. This theme was reflected in the lyrics of the album's title track:

So if you think your life is complete confusion
  'cause your neighbor's got it made
  just remember that it's a grand illusion
  and deep inside we're all the same

This is cool (if likely only to me)

I worked with Rich Halley for years (decades?) at my previous workplace.   For years we sat next to each other and we worked on teams/projects together for many years.   Rich's passion is playing sax.   He used to give me his CDs when he first started producing them many years ago.

Via LinkedIn this morning I learned from him that he now has a page on Wikipedia!  How cool is that?
