Your Top 3 Exclusion Letdowns

[breakjaw]

Forget all the Led Zeppelin,Radiohead,Boards of Canada,The Knife,Bowie & Prince pipe dreams.Who are the 3 acts that you feel could've been on the lineup,and weren't?
Mine are The Pogues,Band Of Horses & Magnetic Fields.

[Courtney]

Magnetic Fields.

Me too. And maybe Okkervil River and PJ Harvey. And MBV unless that counts as a pipe dream, which would be fair.

[Poguish]

Me too. And maybe Okkervil River and PJ Harvey.

Yeh dude, PJ...


*weeps a little*

[JSam67]

Band of Horses
Underworld
Sea Wolf

Coldplay, too. Had lost my Radiohead hope but maintained a bit for Talking Heads and Coldplay. No dice.


Yet.

My bloody Valentine
UNKLE
Blonde Redhead

[BettySpaghetti]

My Bloody Valentine
Aphex Twin
The Kinks

Any of those would have been an instant go for me, cut Jack Johnson and Roger Waters and get these people you idiots!

[breakjaw]

A lot of people seem to feel this was the year for Underworld.

[KungFuJoe]

i still have hope for Underworld. Sunday definately has some room for a major Sahara addition. As well as a half dozen other adds.

I think we'll get a couple of more suprises.

Right now my biggest letdowns are:

Underworld
Goldfrapp
the Presets

[Trudeau]

Boards of Canada
Goldfrapp
more hip-hop in general

[Sci-Fi]

portishead, Jack Johnson, slightly stoopid

[microcuts]

^Are you retarded?

[NicoDread]

Deltron
Aphex Twin
Ghostland Observatory

[breakjaw]

Ghostland Observatory

Yes!I've grown more interested in seeing them with every festival they've played.This was disappointing...

The Faint

Bat for Lashes

I'm still kicking myself for missing The Faint in'05 and Bat For Lashes seemed like a lock this year...

[gmoneyak]

Ghostland Observatory

I would think that they would be a really high candidate for a late add. They have a new album release concert in Feb., where they will announce an upcoming tour schedule.

[ttboy80]

Deltron
Aphex Twin
Ghostland Observatory

Check one, two, three... thanks for writing this for me

[noisemachine]

[luckyface]

Are we being realistic here?

Mogwai, M83, Sigur Ros (throw in Underworld and Groove Armada for good measure).

[mandelbaum]

Are we being realistic here?

Mogwai, M83, Sigur Ros (throw in Underworld and Groove Armada for good measure).

100% agree on Mogwai, M83, and Sigur Ros. I would also throw in Pearl Jam after seeing the Bonnaroo lineup. Would have been nice to have just one headliner that I would be marginally excited about. At this point, I'm just hoping that Sigur Ros tours.

[bludevil007]

Pearl Jam
Sigur Ros
Radiohead
Beirut
Okkervil River

i can't count.
