The O.C. this week marks its 10th anniversary. On August 5, 2003, Fox aired the pilot for what would become a television obsession for many. The nighttime soap brought to life likable characters and shocking plot lines, but it also played a key role in what has now become commonplace on TV: taste-making soundtracks.

In honor of the now-defunct show's benchmark, Myspace writer Luke Winkie has put together a compilation of the show's most memorable tracks, which include Franz Ferdinand, Damien Rice, EELS, Bob Seger, Death Cab for Cutie and more.

Listen to some of the highlights below and head over to Myspace for more.
