"Let's Get Lost": A Playlist for Island-bound Lost Fans

Posted: 02/02/10 08:15 PM ET

I really love "Lost." I am also quite fond of my children, and no longer do I have to choose between the two on a weekly basis. Tonight, my boys -- recent young and dedicated converts to the cult -- and I will be gleefully attending an intimate "Lost" premiere viewing party complete with our own "Apollo Bars" provided by my lovely wife. As our shared excitement builds, here are some TV Island Discs to celebrate our time on the Island.

LET'S GET LOST - Chet Baker
LOST CAUSE - Beck
HIT THE ROAD JACK - Ray Charles
ISLAND OF LOST SOULS - Blondie
LOST IN THE FLOOD - Bruce Springsteen
ISLAND GIRL - Elton John
KATE - Ben Folds Five
LOST! - Coldplay

LOST AND FOUND - The Kinks
I'M ON A BOAT - The Lonely Island

Now please make your own kind of music, and add your own island favorites here. And yes, Drive Shaft counts!

No. Long story - things happen, but I banged my head against the wall when I realized he had been on. I would have at least taped it if I had known. My bad for not paying attention.

For James and Juliet:

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come?
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

When the Others looked up, they saw "Something in the Air" (Thunderclap Newman) that was flight 815. When Walt's Pet, Vincent, came out of the ocean, he was "A Salty Dog" (Procol Harum). When they went to the barge, Frank Lapidus was their "Sky Pilot" (The Animals). He had to remind everyone "I'm Your Captain" (Grand Funk Railroad) And the entire island could proclaim "I am a Rock" (Simon & Garfunkel).

Getting everyone back to the island was Locke's "Obsession" (Animotion), even though they were actually "Closer to Home" (GFR, again)

"It's A Heartache" to inform you I never even heard of that Bonnie Tyler song. I feel shame, but thanks.

I'm surprised. It was a big hit... in Norway.

C'mon , No Geronimo Jackson ?

Lost Menu ( food ) is sushi and mangos.

And How about something a little less obvious from Coldplay ? " Lights will guide you Home."
