10 Episodes with Outstanding Background Music (In Memory of Mark Snow)
The X-Files would not have been as great without the mastery of Mark Snow. The composer – who passed away on July 4 – crafted a distinctive and rich sonic tapestry that pretty much functions as another character in the show.

These are ten The X-Files episodes that feature outstanding background music.
