I could never relate to the GotG soundtracks - the films emphasize really hard how Peter left Earth in the late 1980s, and then they stuff the soundtrack full of 70s songs. And as strong as my love for the 80s has always been, it glows even brighter in contrast to my distaste for most things 70s.

I get why they did it (Peter's mom gave him the tape of her favorite songs, so it makes sense she'd be hopelessly out of touch with popular music). But it still results in a soundtrack I have almost no nostalgia for, and which I'm likely never going to see as much more than somewhat mediocre (at best).

I was hoping they might eventually move out of the 70s and into the 80s (especially when he got his mom's second tape), but I have a sneaking suspicion when they eventually do GotG3, they're going to skip over the 80s entirely. Kraglin gave Peter a Zune, which means it had to come from the late 2000s, which means they can justify filling it with late 90s and early 2000s songs. Or conversely, they'll just use mostly 70s songs again.

Though after seeing how Captain Marvel hamfisted its music into the film (I think I shouted "IT'S THE 1990'S, GET IT?! DO YOU GET IT?!?!" at least a half-dozen times watching that movie), I almost kind of hope they scale back on the GotG music a bit, and make it less of a presence in the film (ie, keep it more as background, and not trying to build entire scenes around it like with Ego and "Brandy", which was kind of cringy to me).

Or maybe it just annoys me because I'm actually a few years older than Quill was supposed to be in the movies, and I spent the entirety of the 80s listening to New Wave, Brit Pop, Synthpop, 80s club, and Glam Metal. My space adventures would sound totally different, damn it!
