If I had a radio station

So I was flipping through an independent newspaper today called "The Oregon Commentator" (website here http://www.oregoncommentator.com/) Anyway, inside the paper there was a faux application for the local campus radio station. One of the questions on the application was "What 100 artists would you play if you were in charge of the radio station?". It got me thinking...what would my ideal radio station would be? I've put together a list of artists I would play if I was a DJ (my mom always said I'd make a good DJ). I've searched my iTunes and I'm aiming for 100, but we'll see how I do. I don't think I have what the radio station would be looking for but, hey, it's my radio station, so they can suck it.
