Must See/Definitely Maybe/Quite Possibly/No Way 2013 Edition
I did this thread last year (yes, with the same corny thread name). It's a good way of figuring out what bands are more important on the schedule than others.
Must See - Don't pick too many because these are your cannot miss shows Definitely Maybe - You don't plan on missing these shows unless paired up against a Must See Quite Possibly - You like or are intrigued by these artists and def. will go if the schedule allows, but you won't lose sleep if missed. No Way - You're friend couldn't bribe you to go to these shows

What do you have against Frank Turner? Just curious.
Nothing against him personally, but every time a song of his comes on, I seem to tune out the 1st half of the song, and then for 2nd half of the song, I get a "i need to change who every this is" feeling.
Esp. that friends and countrymen song he's famous for

Fair enough. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't that he was godawful live or something of that sort.

I may be biased, but Frank has always been a fantastic live act to catch if you like his music.
(The song you're referring to is I Still Believe, and I can understand why people'd get sick of that, but I definitely wouldn't say that's what he's famous for. Try Photosynthesis or The Road.)

Noted, for now he stays in No Way. I'll let some time pass and I'll give him another shot. If anyone was going to crawl out of the bottom list, it'll be him. The rest I def. don't care for.

Must see:
Paul McCartney Wilco Jim James Jim James Superjam David Byrne/St Vincent Kendrick Lamar Edward Sharpe Local Natives Billy Idol Father John Misty Preservation Hall Jazz Band Wu Tang Clan Gov't Mule
Quite Possibly: Mumford and Sons Tom Petty Bjork Earl Sweatshirt The Lumineers Portugal. The Man Trombone Shorty A$AP Rocky
Haha I was expecting this kind of response. Death Grips is too abrasive for me, all reviews have called The xx's live stuff boring, I'm not really into the metal of Baroness, and I tried really hard to get into Japandroids but they just weren't doing it for me. I suppose if there's nothing else going on I'd wander over to Japandroids but I'll probably be using that time to discover new music in the other tents.
This is my perspective, there are a lot of artists on this years lineup that I will probably never get to see again, so even if I may not be a huge R Kelly fan, you bet your ass I am seeing him. Bands like Mumford which tour a lot and will be around for awhile, they arent my biggest priority. Keeping that in mind...
Must See: Paul McCartney Bjork Wu Tang Clan R Kelly The National* Death Grips Swans Four Tet
Definitely Maybe: Baroness* Grizzly Bear The XX Cat Power Tom Petty David Byrne & St Vincent* Jim James Jim James Superjam Ed Helms Superjam Earl Sweatshirt Holy Ghost!
Quite Possibly: Pretty much the rest of the lineup falls under this category, such a great lineup this year.
No Way: Matt & Kim ZZ Top I have nothing against these two bands but neither of them are my cup of tea. Im sure both will put on good shows though
