Does anybody know who was responsible for picking the pop/rock music for each episode? 

Fred Lyle mainly.

Fred Lyle was an associate producer and he also worked as a producer on “Nash Bridges” early seasons. Mentioned here in this interview in questions lower down.

I think Michael Mann picked a few himself, he knew about "Shriekback" and "The Reds" personally. 

Right. He also used them in his “Band of the Hand” film. :thumbsup:

I think MM also liked Emilio Estefan (Gloria Estefan’s husband) he was featured extensively in the Miami Vice 2006 movie and a Miami native so a nice touch from Mann. Emilio and Gloria Estefan also attended the premiere.

Emilio Estefan (Gloria Estefan’s husband) also appears at the beginning of the movie The Specialist with Sly Stallone playing the piano at the Clevelander.

Great I’d forgotten all about Jim.

That's the movie with all the Vice vibe that filmed at 13 sites used by Vice including the Miami Shipbuilding Corp (OCB).
