what are your rankings for roo artists this year? the pwer rankings are to be used in a time of great conflicts to make the decision easier. ranked 1-10, if two artists are conflicting, you would go see the higher ranked artist. (for example, #3 over #4). this list is of course very fluid up until you get there in june, and will undoubtedly be changes with additions, more research on artists, etc..
mine at the moment (3/3/08):
1. Pearl Jam 2. Sigur Ros 3. Broken Social Scene 4. MMJ 5. State Radio 6. Vampire Weekend 7. Against Me! (rising fast, though) 8. Iron & Wine 9. Plant/Krauss 10. Two Gallants
(wow..after putting that together..its really amazing just how deep this lineup is. Allmans, BB king, Jack, Phil, etc..dont even currently crack my top ten.)
1. Pearl Jam 2. The Racontuers 3. Kanye West (really excited to see what this glow in the dark is all about) 4. Jack Johnson 5. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss 6. Lupe Fiasco 7. Against Me! 8. Willie Nelson 9. Sigur Ros 10. Talib Kweli 11. Metallica 12. B.B. King 13. The Allman Bros. 14. The Disco Biscuits 15. Phil Lesh 16. Death Cab for Cutie 17. My Morning Jacket 18. Robert Randolph 19. The Sword 20. Levon Helm
Thats 20 for you, Im hoping we get another major add like Modest Mouse or something on that level but if we dont there are still over 20 bands that I want to see and I would also like to see Chris Rock. Even if noone is added from now on I doubt I will see all the band I hope to see and im sure I will see bands I adent really listend to that much also. Im excited!!!
1. My Morning Jacket 2. Sigur Ros 3. Pearl Jam 4. Robert Plant & Allison Krauss 5. Kanye West (leave me alone, I'm curious) 6. Broken Social Scene 7. Gogol Bordello 8. BB King 9. The Swell Season 10. Ghostland Observatory

interesting list..Minus the Bear, huh?. i havent really done much homework on them..maybe i should. they are touring with Potugal.The.Man...so im sure ill dig.
Its funny the amount of people saying how Kanye doesnt bring the right vibe for Roo and that he wnt have a big enough crowd, then people saing they were curious. You cant deny the fact the he is going to entertain thats why hes going to Bonnaroo because in this present day and age he is one of the best/most popular performers of his time. I cant wait to see Kanye rock the hell out of Roo beacuse thats what he will do, then the people that are to stubborn to see him because they dont feel like he belongs at Roo will miss out. The thing that im learning more and more about roo is that everyone can belong, if you like music you belong it doesnt really matter what kind of music you like because there will be something there for you. I wish "experienced Roo vets" would realize this and not be mad at the fact that they have become diverse and have now put out one of the most impressive lineups ever.

So many bands I haven't seen on the lineup this year, so those are who I'm going for. Not including the headliners since it doesn't sound like they ever conflict with anyone, but Pearl Jam would be the top of my list and the other two somewhere in the middle. Left off Against Me! and State Radio since I've seen them both a buncha times, but I LOVE them and really hope I can catch both sets.

headliners are not on my list because they will not conflict with anyone but Metallica and Kanye are off because I will do whatever I can do NOT hear their music. I'm not saying they are bad I'm just saying I really really REALLY do not like their music.
1. My Morning Jacket (cause I hear they are amazing live) 2. Allman Brothers Band 3. Phil Lesh & Friends 4. Dark Star Orchestra 5. Gogol Bordello 6. Back Door Slam 7. Umphrey's Mcgee 8. M.I.A. 9. Willie Nelson 10. B.B. King
My list might change if I warm up to Sigur Ros but so far I'm not into their stuff all that much, but I might check them out if there is nothing else going on.

Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.
