S6E12 MUSICIAL NOTE

In the episode, Daniel Widmore party was to launch his attempt to combine "classical music with rock n roll."

I doubt if the LOST writers actually knew this: in the 1970s, there was an industry rumor that there was a patron who had the same idea. He/she secretly funded a British band to combine elements of classical music and rock to create a new genre. The band was called Supertramp.

The band have several successful FM singles, especially from the album "Breakfast in America."
