I nominate the suggestions keep coming as U2 has only been mentioned two or three times and he still hasn't found what he's looking for.
Sometimes mixes that people won't expect and will throw them for a loop are the answer.
U2 is fine, as long as its stuff they recorded after they learned how to play their instruments. So, anything in the last five years or so.
Sometimes an amazing mix that works brilliantly, but also doesn't fit a party vibe works. Coldplay and System of a Down. Sure.
I have a mashup of Slim Shady and Focus. It's excellent for the sheer incongruity of it.

If they wouldn't sing they'd be a lot better. Reminds kind of the sneaker pimps.

With enough Motown he could have them rocking out to Sabbath
90s was just a suggestion, not a requirement, right?
All YMCA all the time!
I think you're looking at this incorrectly. They're probably asking you to do it ironically. You have a chance to motherberkeleying influence them.
Play music that was likely insanely influential on their hipster bands. Like the band The The, for example. But play The The vs. Hank- essentially, The The's love song to Hank Williams. Or take a note from Peter, Bjorn and John, who cite Jamaican music as a big influence. Play some of that. Or Dark, Dark, Dark, who cite New Orleans Jazz. Some of THAT shouldn't be too hard to find.
Play Bury My Lovely by October Project.
Play Daniel Johnston.
Play Tones on Tail.
Play The Winstons - Amen, Brother, so they get to hear the Amen Break from the original song.
Give them an EDUCATION.

Bro. I suggested limp bizkit. Dont throw me in with these guys.
Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy
Stone Sour - Through the Glass
Brooks and Dunn - Neon Moon*
*The only song that actually elicits a horrible reaction from me.
I'd just play DragonForce and Immortal Technique until they asked me to leave.
This thread has much going for it. My wife and I had a ball, me calling out the titles and both of us going"oooo yeah, that one was BAAAAD" and then laughing like idiots. So, thx for that. Reminds me of Dave Barry's Bad Song contest, which was an absolute laugh riot.
PS, Horse with No Name.

Hey, you might be the first person to read and understand my first post. Now, imagine my frustration.

In reply to Brett_Murphy :
You are on to something there. I would love to educate these folks in the ways of music that possesses: soul, ingenuity, creativity, hard work, nothing about social media, love, rock and roll, real instruments, real singing, talented band members, people that received an education, determination, a good back story, long lasting friendships, a message worth dying for, a message worth telling, a message of emotion other than the feeling of numbness they get after getting wasted.

When I'm eventually forced to reckon with my search history I'm going to have some trouble explaining this one.
Mumble rap.
Personally? NuMetal.
Sting, especially anything recorded with The Police.
U2
Blues Traveler
Holiday music sung by anyone other than Burl Ives

FTFY
I'd stab an ice pick in my ear, if you played Burl Ives.
Oh oh I know! Hootie and the blowfish and Dave Matthews. Not offemsive, but so unbelievably grating on the soul....
Oh look, another one of those threads where we all pat each other on the back for not liking anything main stream or popular.
