Here are my top five in no particular order:
Broken Social Scene
Japandroids (The mosh pit was awesome)
My Morning Jacket
Vampire Weekend
LCD Soundsystem
They were all fantastic. I had a smile the whole time Broken Social Scene were playing. They are so much fun.

I'll decide later, but Cymbals Eat Guitars was a huge highlight; they were really good.

some comments...
I didn't see MMJ since my group were butts and wanted to head back to the campground because they were all cold, otherwise I'm sure MMJ would have been on my top 5.
LCD was absolutely incredible and should have had a longer set opening for Massive Attack instead of Pavement (christ Pavement was awful). There were at least 3 LCD songs that I wanted badly to hear live but they didn't have the time to play them.
I only stayed for about half of Massive Attack since, again, my group wanted to head back early (I need to go with some new people next year!). the end of 'Teardrop' with Martina Topley-Bird's voice echoing literally chilled me to the bone. From up on the hill it seemed as though her voice filled the entirety of the Gorge. Even watching the youtube video of it at home gave me the chills.
MGMT got the crowd going the most that I've seen in 3 years of attending Sasquatch. I think the crowd would have rioted had they not played 'Kids'. The whole crowd humming the chune of Kids to close out the song was one of the more memorable moments of the weekend.
BSS was great but didn't play at least a couple songs I desperately wanted to hear (Ibi Dreams of Pavement especially). I'm hoping when I see them again in October I'll be more satisfied.
VW wasn't a band I really planned on seeing but they were a nice surprise, I forgot how catchy some of their songs were.

I hate going it alone at Sasquatch (especially after sunset) and no one I was with cared to see them, they instead wanted to go back to the campground early and get trashed one last time. Also I think the rain turned away a lot of people.

Yes they were good, real good! But so were 30 or 40 other bands. Bravo, Sasquatch!
