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]

My bloody Valentine
UNKLE
Blonde Redhead

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

The Chemical Brothers
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Basement Jaxx

[Poguish]

Me too. And maybe Okkervil River and PJ Harvey.

Yeh dude, PJ...


*weeps a little*

[gmoneyak]

Royskopp
Deltron
YYY's

[breakjaw]

UNKLE

Yeah,didn't the guy from the LA Times have them playing?

[Mr.Nipples]

My Bloody Valentine
Aphex Twin
The Kinks

[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.

[Astrid]

pj harvey, chemical brothers, and i cant help but say david bowie even though i always knew it was a lie.

[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

[noisemachine]

My Bloody Valentine
Magnetic Fields
Fiery Furnaces

But for the record, I am happy with the line-up as is.

[xbnmx]

Orbital
The Crystal Method
Groove Armada

[bleep]

british sea power, the walkmen, KYLIE

[seachanges]

PJ Harvey
Presets
Chemical Brothers

[Daft Fro]

The Faint
The Presets
Bat for Lashes

[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...

[Hannahrain]

The Kinks, Heartless Bastards, and any incarnation of Jason Molina.

[luckyface]

Are we being realistic here?

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

[mvanwinkle]

the beatles
nirvana
bob marley

[bleep]

groove armada was so cool in '03. 'twas hoping they'd be back.

[Changoloco]

I'm almost with Ben on this one. I was absolutely convinced that we'd get a Groove Armada return. Ulrich Schnauss and Boards Of Canada. Seriously, when are we going to get Boards? Haven't we been talking about them coming for at least 6 years? I personally love the line-up though. I don't know if I will have the energy to dance to all the great electronic acts that we have!!!!!

[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.

We can talk about them every year, but it won't change anything. They don't play live shows, so it is pretty unrealistic to expect them.

[SurLaCarte]

Can't say there are specific acts that I'm sad are missing (aside from the pipe dreams)...just not enough of those pleasant surprises. Here's three that haven't been mentioned that would have gotten me excited:

Burial
Chromatics
Yeasayer
