The fun part about reading articles like this is it leaves the reader to play armchair Steve Jobs based more on their own opinion of what they think Steve Jobs was trying to say.

Did he say this because he wanted to see what sort of energy the team had?

An expensive yet utterly lackluster song from a famous director might signal a company that has no real vision.

An inexpensive cheap sound-tech song might signal a team willing to just follow directions and not think.

A comically bad song might indicate a team that isn't serious.

A song from one of Steve's favorite artists might signal a team too eager to please.

Personally, if it was me and I was given another chance I would have gone all out, win or die style and begged/pleaded/bribed someone of actual real world talent to come in and play _during_ the next presentation. Someone with a unique style and talent, real world fame would be absolutely immaterial since Steve has already met everyone famous. Someone like Kaki King (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UqV_5rVTNc).
