Finn Wolfhard's Candid Playlist: Unpacking His Soundtrack of Life

The track that captured my heart
One autumn afternoon, I was home sick when I was six years old. My mom asked, "Have you really not listened to the Beatles? She started Help! the film, and then I played it repeatedly on her iPod throughout the day.

The track I perform at sing-alongs
David Bowie songs is really fun, including Fame and Queen Bitch. No one sounds like Bowie, yet I adore the vibe. Recently I performed Save Me from Aimee Mann, which didn't engage the crowd, though I loved it.

The first CD I bought
Kids my age liked Paradise by the band Coldplay, thus I purchased Mylo Xyloto at the bookstore. It was during my first LA visit. I thought to purchase records. I bought Coldplay and Thriller on the same day.

The music with all words in my head
My sibling had Incredibad from the comedy group as a compact disc. He listened to it repeatedly during drives. As a youth listening to material considered off-limits felt exciting.

The ideal party track
The Emotions' Best of My Love because it sounds happy. The rhythm is ideal. It's accessible music, trendy but intricate, thus appealing to all.

The music I skip these days
During my rock introduction, I loved Guns N' Roses. The first time I heard that famous track, I got hooked, yet currently I avoid it.

The ideal track to perform
Currently, our group play the Only Ones classic. I enjoy that piece.

The life-altering track
I'm featured in the visual for that punk track. I portrayed the younger self of the singer. This marked my video debut. It revealed heavier sounds, pushing me into the alt scene.

The tear-jerking melody
Alvvays' Belinda Says.

The song I'd like played at my funeral
We share a private humor concerning this idea. I'm not sure if I want it, but Half Gate by Grizzly Bear.
