Thanks!
The reaction was not favorable. I usually had two or three "joke" albums in the mix, to see how long until someone said "WTF, dude?"

Who says obscure means un-fun? I bet The New Mastersounds are obscure for you. Are you telling me this isn't fun:

Or maybe this track from The Budos Band:

I usually skip the Phish in the early part of the night, but late at night few object to a southern-fried jam:

Why can't it be both? The reason I started hosting games was because I felt I could put something together that I enjoyed but couldn't find anywhere else, and that would also be popular and well-received. That goes for my music mixes as well.
You might not get what you expect at my game, but chances are you're going to like it. That goes for structure, procedures, and music.

So Hosts bring the weird not hugely popular stuff and be flexible enough to adjust if your players vote down your selections
Pretty much, yeah. I've gotten more new music through poker games than anywhere else. It was also a nice challenge for me to keep up with new and upcoming artists, so that my playlists didn't get stale. Now that I'm not hosting games any more, I don't seek out music as much. There's no audience for my mixes.
