One of the reasons to pick Floyd would be the diversity in their music. Its a huge library as well.

Worth the list just for Wish You Were Here. Brilliant song.

Metallica would be 6th and maybe 5th some other day over Pac or Outkast. I need music for different moods and days.

1) Beatles
2) Rolling Stones
3) TP & The Heartbreakers
4) The Band
5) Elvis... before you laugh, listen to how good the man's voice was through near about 1974. He had the greatest rock n roll voice of all time... period.

Ha!
I’ve pondered my choices multiple times as I read through the thread.
Elton John, Dylan, Buffet, etc.

I think I might sub in Blue Rodeo for Fleetwood Mac.
