I need some Jazz and swing on my island too, to that end I'm taking Cab Calloway.
One of the great entertainers, Cab Calloway was a household name by 1932, and never really declined in fame. A talented jazz singer and a superior scatter, Calloway's gyrations and showmanship on-stage at the Cotton Club sometimes overshadowed the quality of his always excellent bands.

Yeah, definitely one of the biggest left and I've looked at him repeatedly, but ultimately decided that I probably wasn't going to take a token hip hop guy unless I seriously started running low of artists I like more. I do have a smattering of hip hop songs in my repertoire, but no great concentrations, and while Eminem might have more of them than anybody else, he's still nowehere near one of my favorite artists.

Seeing Eminem and Jay-Z already go, I knew I had to select my favorite rapper of all time here.
Dr. Dre
Pioneer of West Coast Rap which is my favorite kind of Hip Hop. Just one clip of one of his songs brings back loads of memories for me. Also one of the best producers in music today as well.
"Nuthin But a G Thang" is still one of the best songs ever IMO.
All videos are clean version for the sake of the message board..

Now I might be able to wait on them but they really are one of my all time favorites. 
It's about time to get some blues on my island, and there's no reason not to go straight to the best of the best: B.B. King
What is there to say about B.B. King? He's an absolute legend, and should already have been taken. I'm fixing that. And now I have about a billion (note: exaggeration) blues guitar solos on my island, along with that classic gravelly voice.
Years active: 1949-present
Catalog: 46 studio albums, 16 live albums, 138 singles
Landmark songs: 3 O'Clock Blues, Sweet Little Angel, Every Day I Have the Blues, Ain't Nobody Home, The Thrill Is Gone
I do believe that by the "duet" rules I get joint custody of this little ditty with U2 as well:

The Cars
Masters of the pop hook, and at the forefront of the New Wave/punk revolution against the worst excesses of classic rock, I wasn't sure how to assess the risk of these guys being taken and decided to make the pick while the picking was good. They were a huge band back in the day and cranked out a decade's worth of hits, and their music is just as fun today as when it first came out.
