NiN - Saw about half-a-set at Lollapalooza in 2008. Wasn't really my cup of tea, but on the farm, I'll give em a second chance Wilco - 2 shows, Roo '07 and Lolla '08 Ben Harper - Saw him with the Innocent Criminals at Roo '07 MGMT - 2 shows, Roo '08 and Lolla '08 Girl Talk - Lolla '08, partial show of Montreal - 2 shows, Coachella '07 (not good, almost made them want to stop playing festivals) and at House of Blues Dallas late last year (an awesome show) Coheed and Cambria - Sometime in 2004. They sucked Grizzly Bear - Once at Lolla '08. They were great. They'll be better in a tent, I think Yeasayer - Once at Lolla '08. One of the best shows of the fest for me
I haven't seen hardly any of the big names at this year's Roo. I'm extremely pumped.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band* Beastie Boys Nine Inch Nails Ben Harper & Relentless 7 (have seen Ben Harper) David Byrne* Wilco* Elvis Costello* Erykah Badu The Mars Volta TV on the Radio* Gov't Mule Band of Horses* The Decemberists Rodrigo y Gabriela Galactic of Montreal Allen Toussaint* Booker T & the DBTs Lucinda Williams* Neko Case* Jenny Lewis Robert Earl Keen Citizen Cope Grace Potter and the Nocturnals Okkervil River St. Vincent Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Yeasayer A.A.

Bruce Springsteen 2X Great show not missising Phish 20x cant wait to see again Beastie Boys fun show not missing NIN 2x Great not missing Ben Harper mgmt moe 5x RyG Booker T DBT Jenny Lewis Elvis Perkins
Grace Potter & the Nocs- WILL NOT MISS. I've seen this band a dozen times and it's never enough. Yeah Yeah Yeahs- hope to catch again, it's been a few years Andrew Bird- dug it, but unless no conflicts I'll miss Band of Horses- same show as YYYs, now they're famous and I want to check 'em out again MGMT- gonna try them again, last year's show was good but I didn't love it. Decemberists- LOVE LOVE LOVE can't wait. Rod y Gab- going to be epiccccc. Absolutely will be there. Galactic- another one I can't wait for.
I thought I had seen more of these bands, which actually makes me that much more excited to know HOW many shows I'm gonna be a total noob for.
note: I've seen Rilo Kiley x2, but not Jenny solo.

I saw Bruce Springsteen play a few songs in support of John Kerry in Madison, October 2004, but have not yet seen the full Band.
Saw Beasties last November on the GOaV tour. Awesome. Same goes for Relentless7, and the same opinion.
Saw NIN at Summerfest, 2006. Incredible show and it only speaks highly for 2006 that they were the third best show I saw that year.
Saw a bit of Wilco at Roo2004 and liked. I was less impressed at Sasquatch2005, but I was admittedly awaiting my second win while they were playing.
I saw a couple hours of the epic TMV show in 2005 from the first row, after seeing Saul Williams. I couldnt make it the whole way, though. Also saw them when they were opening for RHCP.
Seen Govt Mule several times and they've always delivered.
