Hi! Long time ago i came with the idea of making a Post with grouping all the musical references of JoJo. I know many  of the band and song refered by the manga. Another references just caugth my attention and got me searching for them. I will paste videos of each song refered and in case of Bands, one or two popular songs by that band. Let's Begin! Will be cool if you listen the song while you read the post.
