Two years in a row this thread has made me realize how deep Bonnaroo's lineup always is. I think it's an easy task, but then I have to exclude so many acts that I would be so excited to see normally!

[MattyDZLX]

I'll leave the headliners out of my top-10, because I could easily put them as my top-3 as I've never seen any of them and really want to. Also the Joy Formidable and Delta Spirit would also be in my top-10 but I'm seeing them locally next month so I might skip them if there's a major conflict.
