I'm gunna quote stormy on this one and say 53 people are wrong and 52 people are right.
Dont get me wrong, bassnectar was fun, but a top 5 performance? As far as more electro style music goes I would say Major Lazer was far better and even sleighbells (despite their short set) was more fun for me. And I didnt even see Glitch Mob or almost all of Ratatat (I know I know, Ratatat isnt electronic...)
If you are all saying bassnectar because you all had fun throwing glowing things in the air with each other then I guess thats different, but the show itself was nothing amazing IMO.
Oh and all those !!! votes really make me wish I saw them.

Bassnectar was the most fun. That's really all the analysis that went into that decision.

Bassnectar was just awesome because most of us were together and dancing and throwing glowsticks and monning the bass!

I'd be happy if the festival only used the Amphitheater, bigfoot, and a better dance tent.

I always love the Yeti Stage bands the most, and yet all 3 years I have been the sound on that stage has been god awful. Overall, that's my one major gripe about Sasquatch- even on the main stages the sound techs are often pretty shitty.

Okay phew, totally understandable. I was worried for a split second that you were saying fuck the BANDS on the Yeti stage.

additionally ---
regarding them being on the Yeti stage... WE ALL KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A CLUSTER FUCK. It was well documented around here (AND EVERYWHERE ELSE) long before the festival even started. how can people still be surprised by this?

I didn't think it was bad at all! From where I was they sounded great. I was pretty close to the front and still had room to move and put my bag on the ground. I didn't think it was crowded.. There were a lot of people there but it wasn't crowded.
