Possible soundtrack for TV's "Lost"

With the main cast and creators on board for another season of "Lost," it's time to think about what Year 3 may bring on the island.

One of the more distinctive things about the show is the music: The main theme is more of a blend of metallic tones and swooshes than an actual song. Perhaps it's time to bring in more popular music to the island, something the show has already done to some degree. Just think about the merchandising possibilities!

MAIN CHARACTERS

"The Joker," Steve Miller (Sawyer's theme)
"Calling Doctor Love," Kiss (Jack's theme)
"Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor Doctor)," Robert Palmer (Kate's island theme)
"Take the Money and Run," Steve Miller (Kate's flashback theme)
"Walk of Life" Dire Straits (Locke's theme)

SECONDARY CHARACTERS

"Cat's in the Cradle," Harry Chapin (Michael's theme)
"Mother Nature's Son," the Beatles (Walt's theme)
"Space Dog," Tori Amos (Vincent's theme)
"The Last Balloon," XTC (Henry Gale's theme)
