I really doubt that they consciously follow a pattern where they have a classic rock headliner 2 years in a row and then take a year off. Also kind of hard to call Stevie Wonder "classic rock"
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
Very true, I didn't even think about them. And I think we need to take The Allman Brothers in to consideration for 2008. They would have been the classic rock headliner that year had they not cancelled.
i think most people probably look at classic acts as those from the 60s and the 70s. and eminem or metallica are certainly not classic acts. forgot buffalo springfield were there even though i was at that show. my brain is fried. i'd like to see them go with a what/which stage formula similar to last year or even 2009.
Ugh you just made me gag, if stuff like Eminem is my generations "classics" I don't even know what to say.
What's wrong with Eminem? He sucks anymore, I'll give you that, but every artist has their shitty period. Eminem up until 2004 was a true genius of an artist and to not see him as a "classic" in the big picture is just ignorant.

I would agree calling Em a classic today is crazy, but if he is consider a classic for our generation I will be disappointed. I'm pretty sure ever generation has much better classics than him

I believe Metallica would be the '08 classic headliner since they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pearl Jam will be there as soon as they are eligible which should be in about 5 or 6 years.
God all this conversation is really doing is making me feel old. We are calling all these bands that made all or a majority of their music since I was born Classic. And I'm only 22
"Oldies" are the pop singles your parents grew up with. Classic came out of AOR radio. The older we get the stuff we used to listen to can be classified as "Classic Rock".
