This is pretty well done.

You said it. Great way to check out all the artists at roo this year.

[RadioSpirit]

Agreed. I'm still going through it. 200% improvement from last year.

[klimfactor]

Also agree. Easier than searching youtube videos.

[king]

wow. this was implemented MUCH better this year. I love even just being able to see all the artists' photos, rather than just the name. It makes me realize how amazing the lineup is. I spend enough time researching that I can make my own choices anyway, but it would be cool if you could prioritize them and it would give you a schedule based on that

[Dave Maynar]

Is anyone else surprised that the Black Keys is the most popular band so far?

No. Everyone loves them right now, and their appeal crosses genres.
Also, while I found their high placement (particularly above Buffalo Springfield, SCI, and Wayne) surprising, I'm beginning to think it was more justified and I think AC/Superfly knew exactly what they were doing.

[fearofpride]

The Black Box Revelation isn't on there, odd

[nthfr]

I was more surprised to learn that there are people who like Neon Trees.

[nthfr]

Black Joe isn't on there either. I hope this isn't a bad sign.

He's still on the Bonnaroo website, so it could just be an oversight.

[delby]

I think they're still working the kinks out of it. Gregg Allman's song doesn't play.

Probably

[desertcinema]

Shocked at how low Widespread Panic is on the popularity. Lower than Matt and Kim and Sleigh Bells? That shocks me.

[quacker]

That's because WSP has been there so often that other less familiar bands are generating more interest.

seems to me there are right where they should be

[Tom]

WSP is big with people who live in the south and like generic southern rock.

Matt & Kim and Sleigh Bells are big with people who live everywhere else and like better music.

I didn't go last year so I didn't pay that much attention to it, but this seems to be a big improvement over last year's Zoltaroo setup. I'll have to spend some serious time with this later familiarizing myself with all the acts I only kind of know.

Hopefully Superfly can take a hint

[bluehanddan]

The fans speak. Mumford and Sons and The Black Keys should not conflict. Both are in the top three of popularity.

Both of these statements almost made me want to say something in defense of WSP. Then I thought about it. I've seen WSP close out Roo 2 of 5 times I've been to Roo, and they haven't put out decent music since before 2001.

[JR]

I'm surprised at Florence and the Machine's showing. I'm gonna have to keep on looking for where they put out anything I like.

[mc]

I didn't think they were that big either but apparently they are playing a show at my school and it sold out? Weird.

[nodepression]

Florence is huge, I loved when people posted earlier about her playing a Thursday tent.

[Airline]

Yea, her billing and popularity is absolutely no surprise to me.

[Funky Munky]

I know it sounds like everybody is blowing these guys over this site but I just need to join in. It's really good. I haven't seen anything close from an ease of use and quality of production stand point (involving music festivals).

So profound. I''l shoot you this quote back in five years when neither of your two buzz picks longer exist.

I won't disagree with that. My main point was that WSP makes boring music for drunken idiots. And not the fun drunken idiots.

That must be A.C.'s secret target audience all these boring, drunken years.
