💬 if we could, who on this board is your go to for selecting music at BDS?

Skynyrd selection with 70s rock. Steppen Wolf….I would need to go through my CDs to put one together.
No freaking electro twerp crap. Nothing from this century. No rap…it’s not music. Closest rap comes to being music was Tom T. Hall.
 
I wouldn't want the job, but I'd be ok if they grabbed some from my playlist at least... everything from Metallica and Zepplin to Johnny Cash and Alabama. I would have the team come out of locker room and down the tunnel to the Peaky Blinders theme and at some point in every game would have Kashmir playing (probably between the 3rd and 4th quarter).

But, it ain't about me, it's about entertaining the recruits (and players), so I get it (though I think most they play don't even do that).
 
'Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne, ever a man of the people, took notice of the discussion and decided to take action. Byrne's first step was to listen to the playlist himself and axe songs that clearly don't belong.

The first song to get scratched, "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5.
"We're not going to play that one again and we're not going to play the Applebee's song, we figured those two things out," said Byrne at last week's Tuscaloosa Chamber of Commerce Luncheon.

Already clearing some song out.
 
The key thing to remember is to find songs that the crowd can participate in, not songs that are simply popular. Think about the music that people participate with: Sweet Caroline, Dixieland Delight, Bohemian Rhapsody, All I Do Is Win, Friends in Low Places, Jump Around.
