Five More Lost Characters Who Should Be an Album Cover

Lost spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the whole show

According to Spinner, a photo of Jorge "Hurley" Garcia will grace the cover of the next Weezer album, sutiably titled Hurley. Though Weezer's recent output has been, with few exceptions, a shallow, inferior derivative of the band's early classics, Hurley's fun-loving, west-coast charm, nerdy affectations and easy-going sense of humor fairly accurately depict what Weezer's music used to represent with The Blue Album and songs like "El Scorcho" (and what frontman Rivers Cuomo apparently believes it still represents). This got me thinking: What other bands could use a character from Lost as an album cover to symbolize their sound?

Jack Shephard - Nickelback

Jack's breed of repetitive white-bread melodrama fits very nicely with Nickelback's brand of repetitive white-bread melodrama. The album could open with a contemplative number called "We Have to Go Back" and close with a power ballad entitled "Live Together, Die Alone." While everyone (at least everyone who takes music seriously) seems to hate Nickelback with a fiery passion, Nickelback consistently get top ten records and sell multi-platinum. Similarly, many Lost fans grew to hate Jack's "leadership" style and tendency to ALWAYS BE WRONG. However, while Jack's character enjoyed a redemption by the end of the series, it's unlikely that Nickelback will be embraced by the critical mass until they stop re-recording slightly different permutations of "How You Remind Me" (a terrible song in the first place) and attempting to pass it off as new material.

Charlie Pace - Oasis

This was an obvious one, since during one of the flashbacks on the show, Charlie played "Wonderwall" for change on the streets of London. However, the parallels between Charlie and the Northern English rockers do not end there: In Lost, Charlie started a band with his brother named Liam. Noel Gallagher formed Oasis with his brother Liam. Charlie's band, Drive Shaft, was clearly modeled after Oasis, or after the many Oasis imitators that followed that band's great success. Like Charlie and his brother Liam, the Gallaghers spent most of the 2000s in a booze and heroin induced haze, reminiscing about former glory and cursing each other out in international publications (ok, the latter may have been unique to Oasis). Unlike the Gallaghers, however, Charlie was able to get over his drug addiction and his career regrets and become a contributing member of society. Tracks would include "Not Penny's Boat," a seven-minute guitar jam with a sax solo; "Turniphead," a Britpunk anthem; and a cover of the Velvet Underground's "Heroin."

Desmond Hume - David Bowie

Assuming that Bowie would ever release an album without putting himself on the cover (this is a big assumption), he would be the perfect artist to depict Desmond's journey through time and space to find his true love. Ziggy Stardust could certainly do justice to Desmond's epic journey, adding a glam-rock stomp to the proceedings - perhaps by making the ultra-manly Desmond more androgynous. A Desmond album would be natural for Bowie - all he would have to do is replace all his references to Space and Aliens with Time and Polar Bears.
Tracks: "The Constant"; "Push the Button"; "You're Gonna Die, Charlie"

Ben Linus - Radiohead

Radiohead is a band that is obsessed with authority and paranoia. Ben Linus is a perfect picture of a paranoid authority figure. Radiohead's album such as Hail to the Thief, especially the song "The Boney King of Nowhere" could accurately describe the authoritarian regime Linus ran when he was the "leader" of the island. Also, Thom Yorke sorta looks like him.
Tracks: "Dead is Dead"; "The Shape of Things to Come"; "Henry Gale"; "We're the Good Guys"

John Locke - Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash's nickname was the Man in Black. Enough said.
Tracks: "Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do"; "Dharma Blues"; "Sweat Lodge"; "Mr. Clean"
