U2
Then I’d make sure that they wouldn’t play anything released past 1991. I’d ask “Can you play the stuff you played when you were a rock band?” 
Tom Waits and John Prine and I’d get them to do covers of each others’ songs.
Believe it or not, my first thought was Andrew Bird, and only then did it occur to me that it would be my husband.
Am I missing something?
Gwar. GWAR - Let Us Slay (OFFICIAL VIDEO) - YouTube
(Goddamn hyperlink isn’t working)
If it is a Christmas party, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Full cast, full stage show.
Any other time, Rush.
I’d get Dave Edmunds to get Rockpile back together, followed by Dr. John.
Pissed that I can’t get the Beastie Boys 
Pearl Jam would be a rockin’ good time (and I’d limit them to No Code and earlier) but I’ve never seen Belle & Sebastian live and they never come around these parts, so I might hire them instead.
This was my first reaction.
Only if you didn’t realize Derek Trucks is my husband.
I did not realize that. I tip my hat to the both of you and back away in awe…
Either Loudon Wainwright III or Lyle Lovett.
Emmy Rossum. She’s so pretty, I don’t even care if she sings.
Depends on the occasion and the hall.
Big venue: Cirque de Soleil
Medium venue: Barry Manilow
Small venue: Jonathan Coulton
ETA: No, scratch all that - I’m getting Gogol Bordello in. And a lot of beer.
The most obvious and natural choice would of course be the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
You get free stuff for sucking up to the mods right…?
Marisa Monte.
I would have a FESTIVAL…headlined of course by
Sarah Fimm. Or The Decemberists.
Tegan and Sara?
Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefers.
Made me giggle so I vote no 
Actually having Poison play and announcing that this was the only poison allowed might be entertaining given the right crowd.
Really though it would have to be a hell of a lottery win cause I’d want The Who.
