I'm not sure I remember a time I was disappointed when the lineup was released. Sasquatch 2011, maybe?
Actually, I was seriously disappointed with the Bonnaroo 2010 and 2011 lineups. Fortunately that frustration was fairly short-lived - I sold those tickets as fast as I could and never looked back.

2011's headliners were boring, but the undercard was so good

I more meant that they weren't as flashy as Sas had been in the past. Coming off the LCD/Ween/Pavement year, all the headliners had played the festival previously, which left a lot of people feeling a little cold, I think.
Fucking DFA1979 though, what a show. Even if the dudes didn't look at each other or acknowledge each other's presence in any way.

I tried to get in there for that show but got way too drunk and left late. Wish I could have seen it.
Does anybody on here know anybody that is on that Coachella Cruise dealio?

This was a point of discussion in the past, but there was evidence to suggest that Arcade Fire was supposed to headline a night in 2011 but they bailed at the very last minute, which is why Death Cab for Cutie -- who are obviously NOT a headlining act -- had a headlining slot.
2011 headliners, yeah, total bullshit. If Wilco is your bag then cool for you, but personally I am just REALLY happy that Modest Mouse put on such a fucking incredible set that year.
I remember being legitimately furious when the 2011 lineup was announced. I was like, for fucking serious, is that it? I just kept thinking they were gonna get around to the really impressive stuff and it never happened. Still ended up being one of my favorite Sasquatch weekends ever, thanks to the fine people of this forum.

Fuck DFA in the nose, though. Everyone was so excited for that shit, but damn though because I sat and watched the whole fucking thing and I just wished to god that they would stop and go away.

Nah, Modest Mouse is fucking terrible now. That set was a fluke. An awesome, awesome fluke.

I speak of their entire work. As a whole, Modest Mouse IS rad. As of late, I agree, they may note be. I blame Johnny Marr for allowing the radness of Modest Mouse to be questioned.

Death Cab is bigger than both Modest Mouse and Wilco.
If anything, Wilco would have been the one they replaced Arcade Fire with.

Nooooo way, dude. Just no way to that. Both Death Cab and Modest Mouse played Sasquatch as subheadliners in the 2-3 years leading up to 2011. I'm sure wonk will punch this statement full of holes, but I'm pretty sure that Wilco is a headliner roughly on the same level as Ween.
And yeah, up to and including (arguably) Good News Modest Mouse had one of most impeccable discographies this side of R.E.M.

Your thing with Modest Mouse is weird. Obviously you have a thing where a band's shitty recent material colors the rest of their material brown for you, and I get that. But Modest Mouse has made two bad albums, that really aren't that bad, and aren't major departures from the style of the rest of their music. And they put on an absolutely incredible performance at Sasquatch. I would still consider them a really kick ass band. I bet if they make another album, it's going to be awesome. Like Wilco - they made Sky Blue Sky, and then they made a piece of shit - but during that piece of shit album, they were still an awesome live entity. Then their next album was really good. I don't think Modest Mouse has lost it like you think they've lost it, is what I'm saying.

Shit, I got my hole puncher out right before you edited your comment. Death Cab is bigger than Modest Mouse. They sold out Edgefield rather quickly, Modest Mouse didn't. Death Cab also had a show booked at the Memorial, which is where Arcade Fire and Bassnectar played the last time through.
Wilco is a tougher comparison because they played the Schnitz each of the last two times through, which is a little over half the size of Edgefield. They sold out in hours each time. Wilco is also much bigger outside of the Pacific NW. Wilco wasn't playing Sasquatch in 2011 without being a headliner. My money is on Modest Mouse opening for Death Cab before Arcade Fire pulled out.
Then again, it's tough to base the Wilco fan base off actual ticket sales because every Wilco fan has two or three children in tow.

Well of course Death Cab subheadlined the previous time they played, they were before the mutha fuckin Cure.
Regardless, Death Cab is a big name in the "indie kid" scene, which Sasquatch mainly caters to. They played the Key Arena and Memorial Coliseum after they played Sasquatch, while Wilco played the Paramount and Schnitz.
Also, last.fm listeners is usually a good way of determining how popular a band is.
Death Cab for Cutie: 2,411,728
Modest Mouse: 1,963,387
Wilco: 1,033,007
