Guardians of the Galaxy has an original rock album based on Peter Quill's favourite '80s rock band, Star-Lord.
The album, called Space Rider, was written and performed by Eidos Montréal's senior audio director Steve Szczepkowski, sound designer Yohann Boudreault, and senior creative director Jean-Francois Dugas, and can be played in-game via the Milano's jukebox.
