My Thoughts: Yes kids, this is kind of like classical music, but that doesn't mean it sucks. Michael Giacchino has made the soundtrack to so many video games, TV shows and movies and LOST is just one of the many. He followed JJ Abrams from Alias and in LOST's pilot episode he collected actual plane wreckage and made it in to percussion instruments. So alot of the sounds you hear is actual metal from the plane they used in the pilot episode. I have watched parts of the show where they showed it without the music, and I love the show and the actors, but it truly is not the same without the music. The scenes do not hit you the same way. Sometimes it scares the heck out of you, other times it gives you chills, other times it makes you cry. Michael Giacchino is an exemplary example of the power of music. The music is like another character in LOST.
Also - there is a soundtrack for every season, this is only an example of one.

Reminds me of: obviously the show, but I get chills every time I listen to certain songs. It is so beautiful and makes you feel in a way that only classical instrumental music can.

Random Fact:
The music of Lost is so popular that they held a special concert featuring the music from the show. Terry O'Quinn (John Locke) came to narrate the performance. It completely sold out the Hollywood Bowl which is a huge venue in LA. Giacchino won an emmy for his LOST score. ~ (Lost DVD's)

If you watch lost, and everyone should, give this 1 minute and you will know which one it is:
