Talking Heads. Two of them have been playing together and Byrne's voice has actually gotten better since they broke up. Plus, it's big enough to be exciting, but not so big that it overshadows the festival.
Of those, I'd say it's between Pink Floyd, CSNY, Talking Heads, and Led Zepellin. Really, really hard to say who...
The cons of Zep have been discussed, Floyd is an obvious yes, and so is CSNY. But the Talking Heads have the potential to put on the best show of all those.
I'm gonna go with other, and say Can (with Damo Suzuki)... I can dream, can't I?

Why do people think that Floyd will not bring the same size crowd as Zeppelin? Both bands are known as the greatest and broke up for different reasons a while ago. I think if Floyd were to play we would have the same type of ticket problems as Zeppelin had when the O2 concert was announced

I don't think the ticket problems will be (assuming Zeppelin is on, of course) Nearly as bad as some thing.
That being said, I will never, under any circumstances, turn down the idea of a Floyd reunion. I'm the kind of guy who would pay just about anything to see it.
I'm not quite the same, but close to that with Led Zeppelin too.
I was torn between Floyd and Zep. I had to go with Zep. I've seen Floyd, and of course would see them again, but I want the chance to see Plant, Page and JPJ together.

I had to go with the talking Heads, I love Byrne and loved his show in 05. I even started another thread about it last night. Zeppelin would be next choice. If you want to see Floyd check out the Aussie Floyd show, I saw them here in phoenix earlier this year and it was AMAZING. Sounded just like Floyd.

If you mean this year, than
1. too early for a Phish reunion 2. Pink Floyd won't happen anytime soon, if it does will most likely be in London or anywhere else in Europe 3. Talking Heads will most likely never ever happen ever again
Reunions that are most likely (from greatest chance to least chance):
1. Eagles (already happening) 2. CSNY (happened in 2006) 3. Blind Faith (with Steve Winwood touring with Petty this year, those 3 shows in NY with Clapton & Winwood will probably be the only ones this year)
I had to narrow it down to these:
1. Led Zeppelin 2. CSNY (never seen any of these members) 3. Other - my pick would be the Dead (i was too young to see original Grateful Dead, but have seen Ratdog & Phil and Friends)
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.

Pink Floyd
Agreed! I was saying this last year that Roo would need to pull out a huge reunion headliner to top some recent Roos... however it is Led Zeppelin and not Floyd. I still can't complain though, getting to see my dad's favorite band 30 some years after the last time he saw them can't be bad either!
