Tommy Steele, the British Elvis...
Although you can never go wrong with Max Bygraves championing "froffy beer" over "froffy coffee"
Seriously, what would they change the music to? Just looking over three pages of this thread and everyone's choice is different. It seems the only answer is to turn the current tripe off, or give us the power to turn down the music alone.
I agree that we need more music in Pocket D.
It must be the only night club I know, that has the one track on loop.
Perhaps even making it possible for players to have their own music on their computer play in pocket d.
It wouldnt require uploading any music, and would not infringe on any copyright laws at all.
1. The Music 'should' be playing from pre-determined 3 dimensional locations in the level. Eg - From a sound speaker in Pocket D.
2. The Music on your computer would be assumed to be legal, or media usage rights would be verified. Either way, if the music is on your computer, you have the music anyhow, all city of heroes would be doing, is playing it.
All you would be doing, would be feeding music from your pc, into city of heroes client, and it gets played from the 3d locations in the pocket d area. The End result is the illusion of your own music playing throughout pocket d.
Azmodan - 50 - Storm/Energy Blast Defender
Baaleos - 50 - Gravity/Power Blast Dominator
Orici - 50 - Fortunata
Psi'on - 44 - Kinetics/Psionic Defender
Azazeel - 40 - Warshade
Bloody-Ice - 31 - Ice/Cold Domination Corruptor

Something like that would be nice, dunno how hard to pull off, but something either more varied or more player driven.
They could always make DJ Zero an actual played character, by some people who looked after PD (its a job) or something -shrug-

Get them to hire a real DJ.
Hey isnt there a radio channel devoted to city of heroes or somthing?
Paragon Radio?
Why not give them control over the music in pocket d.
However, the problem there is bandwidth.
Music streamed to that zone, would cause lag, and plenty of it.
The only way to reduce this, is to reduce the sound quality, and therefore, you get grainy music, and no one likes that.
Unless there was a pre-set selection of music/sounds downloaded to players pc in each patch, and the dj just controls which ones plays.
Imagine being able to make requests to the dj. Lol
The idea behind playing your own music isnt entirely original, Black and White the game did something similar, you could put a music cd in th drive, and your creature would dance to the music.
There is nothing peventing the developers letting the players do something similar, I mean, we can already alt-tab and run an mp3 in the background, I just think the idea behind integrating this into pocket d would be more benficial to the city of heroes/villains franchise, it makes the zone nicer, more interesting, and players might actually go there, to listen to their music.
Other ideas spring to mind, however they might not be legally sound copyright wise.
You could have a friend with you in pocket d, and let them listen to your music. But that might be classed as music/file sharing, or the broadcasting of music - which is sometimes mentioned on music discs and dvds as being prohibited.
eg "This dvd/cd is not for resale, rental, or public broadcast".
Still.. the listening to your own music, would be a quick and dirty way to give pocket d a much needed revitalization.

Reminds me of Bioshock... perhaps in an alternate present in the vein of Brazil, this would be a viable nightclub playlist. Mission Architect is on it's way!

@MidnightGuard - on Union you may know me as:
Mr. Vile - Electroman X - Zenodorus - Battler
Naga Knight - Stinkspitter
Pffft! 80s Soft Rock Power Ballads ftw!
And cheesy 'Chippendale' posters on the walls. Well, they did do a CoH comic called 'Ladies' Night'...
