When Guardians of the Galaxy hit theaters in 2014, one element that many people loved was the film’s excellent ‘Awesome Mix Vol. 1’ soundtrack – a collection of classic songs Peter Quill listened to with his dying mother. As we approach the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in just a couple weeks, fans have been wondering which songs director James Gunn has assembled for the second Awesome Mix. Well, you need wonder no longer now as Marvel has released the 14-song track list for the film.
