I love Criminal Minds so much. It is my favorite show and I love the characters with all my heart. I also love music so combining the two things I love just seemed natural. So here are playlists for 10 of the characters from Criminal Minds. Yes, I know some of them aren't still on the show and haven't been for. . .seasons.
But they're meaningful to me.
