The question of which season's music stood out the most to fans was posed in the recent Reddit thread, "Favorite Season Music Wise?" in the r/AmericanHorrorStory subreddit. The OP, hermajestie, preferred the music of "AHS: Asylum," writing, "Both the soundtrack and the score really helped add to the ambiance of the season and make it just a tad scarier as well as period appropriate." But many fans that responded seemed to think the music of AHS: Hotel made the season really stand out.
For instance, Redditor MLGorilla2 said the best music belonged to "Hotel or Asylum" while dvasop wrote, "Hotel and 1984 did a great job with music." While in some instances "Hotel" shared the top spot, or it was a toss-up, some preferred its music outright. Redditor TransparentSal5 wrote, "Hotel is definitely my [favorite]. Tracks such as Valentino definitely make the [soundtrack]." User lls1462 said, "Hotel and my second is Freak Show!" Tartarium Billie Dean Howard added, "Hotel was the [most] unique."
