Music plays an important role on the FX television drama The Shield. Stylistically, the music ranged from hip hop (Master P) to mainstream pop (Duran Duran) to rock (Kid Rock) to country music (Johnny Cash), often within a single episode. Each continuing season had promotional music as well.
Soundtrack compilation
As of 2012, one official soundtrack compilation had been released. The Shield: Music from the Streets was released in 2005, and contains selections from the first four seasons.
