Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, interesting choice. I don't know much of their music, but I caught a little of their set at ACL and it was alright. They're worlds away from pre-headlining, though, which should make you happy. Less of a crowd!
Yeah, he is probably a lot better off in a club type atmosphere, but I have had a blast at the previous three shows that I have seen him at.
If you want to try out some Ted, start with either Tyranny of the Distance or Hearts of Oak. Both are great albums that rock out.

Not every artist I have listed below would be a "dream" for me but a lot of them are, some I just think is the direction Bonnaroo is heading:
CSNY Bob Dylan and The Band Bruce Springsteen Paul Simon America Tom Waits Willie Nelson Ryan Adams Lucinda Williams Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris Wilco The Old 97's Pink Floyd Roger Waters The Dead with Bruce Hornsby Steve Winwood Bob Weir and Ratdog Phil Lesh and Friends Dave Matthews and Friends Dave Matthews Band Phish Trey Anastasio String Cheese Incident Keller Williams Incident Eric Clapton Cream The Police The Stooges The Kinks Ray Davies Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic Smashing Pumpkins Pearl Jam Radiohead Oasis Coldplay Ben Harper Jack Johnson Counting Crows David Gray Travis Turin Brakes Tool Deftones
Funny, I was actually listening to Oasis today thinking about them at Bonnaroo. Both of those brothers are so annoying, but god they wrote some catchy songs. I saw them once at ACL at they were kinda flat, I think the 100 degree heat got to them. I think they're broken up(ish) right now anyways.
I'm also going amend my lineup, since it is a dream and all, and say that I'd make one of the nights:
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!

Yeah, they definitely aren't ready for that quite yet, but this is my dream line-up, right? Plus, he's been pretty amazing every time I've seen him. And the other thing is that TL/Rx would match up pretty well with The Police.
And good call on the TV, atl. I completely forgot about them, but that would be really tight.
My only concern with MMJ playing on a Friday is that they are one of the artists I look most forward to and to have their set so early is kind of a bummer. I'd love to see them as a festival closer. Their shows are so cathartic and celebratory I would actually stay through the end for the first time instead of retiring early to the tent on Sunday night.
