A lot of really great music has come out in the past 40 years. It's stupid to criticize anyone for focusing on those artists.
Plus you have to remember that the Beatles catalog isn't very accessible to a lot of people. It wasn't available on iTunes for a long, most of it isn't on Spotify.
this is a good point I just can't imagine growing up without hearing Beatles albums....it seems wrong
I was born in '80 and I didnt hear a Beatles record growing up. My parents were 18 and 17 when they had me and I grew up watching MTV and listening to 80s pop music. I went to live with my grandparents when I was 7 and all they listened to was country. When I was in middle school I started discovering music on my own and I really didnt start really exploring past what was on the radio until I was in high school and the internet made it much easier. I probably didnt listen to a full Beatles album until I was 15 or so.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

Has Mumford and Sons ever headlined other "big" festivals? Like Coachella or Lolla or things like that? Is Bonnaroo their first major festival headline booking?
They've headlined Rockness and will headline T in the Park and Sasquatch this year.
Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't headline Glastobury too.

I can probably name every beatles album and tons of beatles & wings songs. My guess is so can most of the people you run into during your daily life (and I was born several years after the Beatles split).
My guess is the average person cant name more than 1 Bjork song if any and can definitely not name any of her albums unless she has a self-titled one.
In conclusion, Bjork belongs on the bottom 3 lines, not the top one.
Who cares how they are billed? I could probably go through the line-up and say so and so should be billed before so and so but I dont really care because they are on the line-up and that is all that matters. If it were up to me, Bjork would be billed second but it doesnt really matter because she is there and that is all I care about.

Like the moderator said, being on the top line is a big deal for bands who arent at their pinnacle yet. Being at the top brought more hype to Mumford than there already is.
Not to mention the Band itself can use it to up their booking prices. Lots of business can also be involved w/ where you are placed on the lineup

This is, without a doubt, the single dumbest comment in this thread. And that's like winning an 80's-era dunk contest with Jordan and Wilkins throwing down hellacious foul-line-windmill-dunks and sh*t.

I think you are wrong. That may be your experience and you cannot be faulted for that but you need to realize that other people have different experiences. Among my circles of friends and when I was in school, Bjork has already been pretty popular. I recall a conversation at a dinner party about a year ago where we discussed Bjork's music and recalled her music videos. Even if you arent a fan, she had some of the most memorable music videos in the 90s that were constantly played so that alone would make her more memorable than you think, at least among people who were part of the late 80s and 90s MTV generation. I can name all her albums except for maybe all of them from the last few years and I could probably name a good 20 songs off the top of my head fairly quickly. On top of that, she is an international superstar who is known very well across the world.

Mumford is already selling out arenas across the world. I believe they soldout back-to-back shows at the Barclay Center in NY. The demand already exist for them to have high tickets prices.

Why should she be in the bottom 3 lines, can the average person name multiple albums/singles by other 3rd last line bands such as seawolf and jd mcphearson? Congrats on winning though, its always a sweet victory when its self proclaimed

they were third on their day at coachella (ostensibly 7-9 on the bonnaroo poster. no one in the top tier plays thursday) in 2011 with one album.
My inside source just told me not to expect George Harrison to take the stage with Tom Petty for a mini Wilbury's reunion.
Tom Petty is probably the weakest link in the Traveling Wilbury's.
....Probably?
He wasn't even going to be in the band until George wanted to use a guitar he left at Petty's place.
Harrison (yes, I'm a Beatles homer and George is one of my favorite human beings ever, not just musicians, so I'm biased....sue me) Dylan Orbison Lynne

Petty
The band did have a drummer, that's the only way Petty isn't the weakest link. One might say the drummer wasn't actually "in the band," but I don't subscribe to that logic.
Wow Tom Petty really gets no love on this board. While I'm not particularly jazzed about being an apologist, he has sold quite a few records and he's in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

And he is fucking great. BTW I think you got the whole Wilbuy's story wrong. Orbison was the last to join.

Well you got the last two right. I will fight you.

Which would make him better than everyone else at Bonnaroo save Sir Paul.
