2004/2005 Thunderbird Music

A very special thanks to Lawndart, who took the time to compile this list, and is kind enough to let me post it here.

Note: The Thunderbirds also mix and loop certain parts of the songs to better fit the audio-visual of what the spectator sees during a show and don't necessarily play back exactly as you'll hear the originals.
