I, unfortunately, have never been able to attend Coachella so I'm excited to see what all you guys say! I anticipate Drake's 2015 set will be the #1 spot on a lot of your lists

Not in order .. but what I remember
1) The Arcade Fire 2011 2) Jay-Z 2010 3) Major Lazer 2013 4) Justice (short set) 2012 5) Beach House 2010 6) Tame Impala 2019 7) Kanye West 2011 8) Toro y Moi 2015 9) J Balvin 2019 10) The Ramones cover band at Campsites
No real order here. But I re-confirmed my trending suspicion that Outdoor Sunset/just after sunset is the place to be pretty much every day.
David Byrne 2018 (Talking Heads songs. Enough said. And, it happened to be the most beautiful sunset of all time W2 right during Once in a Lifetime)
Kendrick 2017 (Debut of a banger album, a special moment. Weekend 2 the crowd knew all the words to every song on DAMN. That was special)
The War on Drugs 2018 (Such a good set. Hearing Red Eyes at the Outdoor was damn special)
Underworld 2016 (Totally turned my opinion around for what the Sahara could be. Incredibly visceral. True bucket list act)
Soulwax 2018 (Best example of live music dance you could experience in my opinion. So damn exhilarating. 3 drummers, and they all actually contribute to the overall sound)
Arcade Fire 2014 (One of my favorite bands closing out my first big festival. I loved Reflektor, loved the setlist. Dream come true)
Jamiroquai 2018 (Probably the most fun pure dance party you could ask for. Everyone was on the exact same wavelength: pure groove)
Sia 2016 (Best performance art I've personally seen at Coachella. Sia is one of the best singers in the world, what a voice)
Radiohead 2017 (It's Radiohead. W2 they played songs I never thought I'd hear in My Iron Lung, I Might Be Wrong, Fake Plastic Trees etc. Such a good setlist)
Nas 2014 (20th anniversary of Illmatic, played in full. Legendary show. Helped to throw in Jay-Z and Diddy too)
Honorable Mentions:
Neutral Milk Hotel 2014 (A dream come true; Lana's 2014 fans ruined this from being a perfect sunset show though)
Roisin Murphy 2017 (absolutely tripping watching her make more costume changes than Beyonce; House of Glass is such a good song
Moderat 2017 (Would absolutely be on the top 10 but left early since I saw them the year before. Dumb decision even if ScHoolboy Q was great)
the Knife 2014 (So much fun, so weird, so unique. And now one of the rarest shows I've seen I think)
Ed Sharpe 2016 (Emotional sunset outdoor set. Can't beat Home being played on the fields)
Ice Cube 2016 (That was a pure party, he sounded great, brought out NWA complete with Eazy E's son, plus Kendrick, etc.)
Tycho 2017 (About as dreamy of a Sunset Outdoor set as you can ask for. Helps if you're also on drugs)
David Byrne 2018 (Talking Heads songs. Enough said. And, it happened to be the most beautiful sunset of all time W2 right during Once in a Lifetime)
Underworld 2016 (Totally turned my opinion around for what the Sahara could be. Incredibly visceral. True bucket list act)
Soulwax 2018 (Best example of live music dance you could experience in my opinion. So damn exhilarating. 3 drummers, and they all actually contribute to the overall sound)
Jamiroquai 2018 (Probably the most fun pure dance party you could ask for. Everyone was on the exact same wavelength: pure groove)
Some of my most egregious failures-to-attend in there. Made up for a couple of 'em since, but you're right, nothing like sunset at Outdoor.
I can’t always remember the years so here we go in no particular order. Paul McCartney Leonard cohen Aphex Twin The Specials The Bloody Beetroots Death Grips Sia AC/DC The Postal Service Arcade Fire 2011
Special mention Molotov, groove armada, crookers, Greta van fleet, tags sultana, lcd soundsystem

Arcade Fire 2011-2014 St Vincent 2012 Paul McCartney Tame Impala all years but the interpol-Tame-ACDC at the main stage in 2015 was unbelievable. Beastie Boys Pulp Roger Waters The Good the bad and the queen Dre and Snoop David Byrne
Top 15 - No Order Matt & Kim (2016 W2) Joseph (2017 W1) Two Door Cinema Club (2017 W1) Chicano Batman (2017 W1) Denzel Curry (2017 W1) Moses Sumney (2018 W1) BROCKHAMPTON (2018 W1) Flatbush Zombies (2018 W1) Otoboke Beaver (2018 W1) Yung Bae (2019 W1) Maggie Rodgers (2019 W1) Perfume (2019 W1) YG (2019 W1) Janelle Monae (2019 W1) Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals (2019 W1)
thread asked for 10, coward
But keep Matt & Kim
Hey, it was very hard to not extend it to 20! Lol I left off Chloe x Halle and Kacey Musgraves to name a couple =(
But yeah that Matt and Kim set was loads of fun, my first time crowd surfing. Saw them again at the Novo in 2019 and it was just as fun. Top 5 live act I've ever seen, and weirdly enough I only actually listen to 2 of their songs. But you don't need to know all their stuff to get into their shows.

Welp I've only been to two so far so this should be easy...

Radiohead 2017 (W1 - Simply because this was my first and only time seeing Radiohead. Probably wouldn't be on the list otherwise because of those sound issues.)
Dep gets bonus points for clearing up a nasty head cold I had coming into that weekend. Plus taking out some frustrations over losing my phone the day before when I went to see Atoms for Peace up in Oakland.
