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.
agreed!!!! that was put nicely. Karma to you as soon as Im able to give it to you!
Pearl Jam Chris Rock My Morning Jacket Levon & Co. Allman Brothers Band Gogol Bordello Robert Randolph and Co. Vampire Weekend Bluegrass All Stars Metallica Plant & Krauss
So, someone needs to take everyone's rankings and combine them into a poll. Rank it giving a #1 = 10 points #2 = 9 points ... #10= 1 point. That should be fun.

I was gonna try ad figure this out, but I will be abiding by whats playing at the time this year. Other than Metallica and Pearl Jam I think Sigur Ros and Gogol Bordello are the top 2. After that I want to see way too many artists equally. Others include Battles, Willie, BB King, Ghostland, and !!!. We have alot of good artists this year.
This man came up to me just the other day, asked me I'd been born again. I told him, "I didn't think I had." That I had been rejected. But I think, Hell's got all the good bands anyway. And Bonnaroo.

Just as a thought....
If these are power rankings to be used to decide conflicts, then there really shouldn't be headliners on anyone's list, since they don't conflict with anyone.
yea, thats true..i was kind of asking what peoples rankings were in general. so the rule of thumb i was kinda using was what if they were all playing the same time, who would i go see?
i may have to revise my rankings already, btw. that lasted about a day. also, im gonna use 20 this time, ya'll cheated. my head god damn near exploded trying to whittle it down to 10.
I have taken the opportunity to pass a few hours at work this morning and combine all of the power rankings into a top 25 list. I simply took the ranking and gave a #1 ranking 10 points, #2=9 points all the way down do #10= 1. First place votes are in ( ) If you gave more than 10, anything below 10 didn't count. I think one person didn't give a specific band for their #1 so I moved all the other bands up 1 spot. Hopefully, this can give us a rough scientific idea how crowded each show might be. Obviously, this only measures the Inforoo crowd, so I wouldn't put too much stock into this. So, these are the results through Post #57. I have the spreadsheet and may update it every few weeks or so if this thread stays up top. Sorry, it doesn't line up perfectly.
