If you're gonna mention Brighton Port Authority, you've gotta include the video for Toe Jam (featuring David Byrne and UNDRAFTED RAPPER)

The first DJ selected, if I'm not mistaken.

Praise you is one of those songs i totally forgot about, and then i heard it like a month ago and got chills. It's so awesome.

Also, Spike Jonze in the haus.

Man I loved Fatboy Slim when I was younger.

The Housemartins had some anthems too. Caravan Of Love!

Posting half asleep will writeup mine much later but go listen to Glenn Gould rock the piano dude was incredible. Oh and Bernstien did music to West Side Story and wrote symphonies, operas, concertos, you name it along with being the greatest conductor and educator of his era

I freakin' love it when I find a goddamn gem and check the SS but it's clear.

Quick catchup on picks:

Will Smith - wat?

Julio Iglesias - thank god he finally goes. i didn't want him on my label but $$$$$$$.

Gwen Stefani - is awesome

Rivers Cuomo - he wasn't even on my radar but I'm a Weezer fan so I like it.

Peter Gabriel great pick. Seger also good.

I personally can't stand Stefani, but I suppose she's a reasonable pick here.

Diddy obv sick value.

If I drafted Diddy (and I tried to talk TSC into going along with this to no avail), I would have just said, drafting Diddy means I can retire to a Caribbean island and count my money while Diddy runs the entire label. Without ever recording a song, he's really valuable in this. Throw in that he can make a hit song once in a while (even if it sucks), and he's a monster and should have been drafted higher by one of the rap labels.

I'm not sure how Ray Charles would have felt about walking to Brooklyn to get him cheesecake though.

ITD we have been specifically instructed not to consider a musician's business acumen as part of his/her value.

It's not really business acumen as much as overall boss status. If he's in charge, he's most likely going to make everyone better. He has value as a producer even if he does nothing but sit there and tell people what to do/fix.

He's probably a better overall pick than Phil Specter given where they both went and that Diddy can actually perform too.

Also, he's too much of a pussy to murder any of your other artists.
