1. Dry The River 2. Feed Me 3. Tycho 4. Pretty Lights 5. Beirut 6. James Murphy 6. Shearwater 7. Deer Tick 8. Trampled By Turtles 10. Of Monsters and Men
I don't think I've ever had this hard of an undercard focused top 10 list ever (And this is based on what I've found so far!)

10. Howlin Rain 9. Portlandia 8. Pretty Lights 7. Tenacious D 6. St. Vincent 5. Beck 4. Spiritualized 3. Bon Iver 2. The Shins- Despite the Shins only being a fraction of what they once were, Oh, Inverted World was my first real introduction to indie rock, and I cannot wait to see tracks like "Caring Is Creepy," "One By One All Day," "New Slang," and "Sphagnum Esplanade" performed live by the man who wrote them with the sun setting over the Gorge as their backdrop. Plus, Joe Plummer is great in any form. 1. Jack White

1. Girl Talk 2. EITS 3. Beck 4. The Shins 5. Metric 6. Beirut 7. Bon Iver 8. The Head and the Heart 9. The Joy Formidable 10. Pretty Lights (based soley on hype) HM: Jack White could end up anywhere within this llist by end of festival.. really no idea what to expect. New top 10: 1. Jack White 2. Girl Talk 3. Beck 4. The Shins 5. Beirut 6. Of Monsters and Men 7. Bon Iver 8. Metric 9. Pretty Lights 10. The Joy Formidable EITS dropped due to seemingly inevitable conflict. Jack White setlist has me rediculously excited. Of Monsters and Men intriguing me.

Original (With no order):
Bon Iver Mogwai Pretty Lights Metric Beardyman Tycho Kurt Vile The War on Drugs Jack White
Updated (In order! With explanations too!):
1) Jack White - It's The White Stripes, with a band instead of Meg. Not a chance I will miss any of his show 2) Silversun Pickups - An Alt. rock band I heavily overlooked until seeing them on the lineup. 3) Pretty Lights - Can't wait to see what he has in store for us with a headlining slot 4) Metric - This band is catchy as hell 5) Bon Iver - They will be an amazing set to relax too on sunday evening 6) Beardyman - It will be bonkers. 7) Gary Clarke Jr. - He pretty much makes up for the absence of The Black Keys 8) Mogwai - They will layer progressive melodies upon each other in such a fashion that minds will be blown. FACT. 9)Shabazz Palaces/The Roots (if late night) - I need my hip hop fix. These folks will suffice plenty. 10) Feed Me - An artist that fits the time slot he'll be playing perfectly.

1. BECK! 2. Bon Iver 3. Jack White 4. Mark Lanegan Band 5. Howlin' Rain 6. St. Vincent 7. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists 8. Explosions In The Sky 9. Shearwater 10. The Joy Formidable 11. Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires 12. Spiritualized 13. The Civil Wars After taking the time to research and think things through: 1. BECK! 2. Jack White - After the SNL performance I have faith that this will be one of the greatest set of the weekend, next to Beck anyways. 3. Mark Lanegan Band - The new album blows my mind everytime I listen to it. Should be a riveting set for sure. 4. Explosions in the Sky 5. Bon Iver 6. St. Vincent 7. Howlin' Rain 8. Blitzen Trapper - New discovery and I can't get enough of them. 9. Spiritualized 10. Jamey Johnson Also want to have Pretty Lights on my list. Not generally a fan of this style of music, but that light show looks too incredible to pass up.

1. Pretty Lights (favorite EDM artist + Glowpocalypse + main stage at the Gorge = speechless) 2. Little Dragon (never heard of 'em till the lineup was dropped, holy shit they are amazing) 3. Metric (one of my favorite bands from when I was in high school) 4. Silversun Pickups (same as above) 5. Beats Antique (get my gypsy dance moves on) 6. Feed Me (hyperspace mode is in effect) 7. Jack White (always liked the White Stipes) 8. Tycho (perfect warm weather music) 9. Wolfgang Gartner (fist pump my way through the tent) 10. Nero/James Murphy ((tie)also both I'm sure will be a blast)
I could put 10 totally different artists (Starfucker, SBTRKT, Spiritualized, The Joy Formidable, Bon Iver, Explosions in the Sky, Beck, Com Truise, Star Slinger, Tenacious D) on this list and be happy. Is it Memorial Day weekend yet?

Previously stated I would spend at least an hour in the Banana Shack listening/dancing to whomever. Upon further listening I have decided that I am going to the entire Tycho set. Hoping there are no major conflicts.

Hurts to drop them, but festival conflicts always hurt. Best to focus on who you get to see, not who you have to miss I guess.

Quit dropping Explosions in the Sky you fuckers. Instantly made me picture folks continually ripping huge farts in your general direction. Am still laughing at the thought. For the record, I am definitely not going to miss the Explosion!

I have updated the aggregate list. Without saying too much, Beck/Jack White is now contentious.

I love how people are factoring in conflicts on this list when there's not even anything set in stone yet.

Well this way if the conflict ends up being avoided it's a bonus!

top 10 must see 2012 1. St Vincent - anyone watch that Coachella webcast? holy crap. skipping as much of the Shins/Jack White as necessary to see all of her amazingness. 2. Joy Formidable - never seen them before, love the album 3. the D - let's float down the strawberry river! (btw, I fully expect John C. Reilly to make an appearance as sasquatch) 4. Spiritualized - the conflict between my #3 and #4 kills me every time I think about it. seriously disappointed they are not on the mainstage. 5. Bon Iver - I get chills when I think about Skinny Love echoing around the gorge 6. the Roots - put on a hell of a show, and I'm psyched there's something other than crappy music with flashy lights in the late-night set. 7. Tune-Yards - love her music, refuse to participate in annoying capitalization 8. Girl Talk - huge party every time 9. Beirut - should be a lovely sunset 10. Beck - a bit of a wild card. I've seen him a bunch, and every time has been different (and always great), so although he's not on top of my list, it could end up being the best set of the weekend. honorable mention: War on Drugs, Grouplove top 10 I hadn't listened to before lineup dropped, and now look forward to seeing 1. Here We Go Magic 2. Yellow Ostrich 3. Gardens & Villa 4. Of Monsters & Men 5. Unknown Mortal Orchestra 6. Walk the Moon 7. Hey Rosetta! 8. Kurt Vile 9. Active Child 10. Reptar (though I probably won't actually end up getting there early for this one) note: this was gonna be a top 5, but it just kept going… nice work by AZ this year (like every year). top 5 I wish I could see but will probably have to skip entirely 1. SBTRKT 2. James Murphy DJ 3. Beat Connection 4. Mogwai 5. Portlandia top 5 bad decisions made by sasquatch this year (because I love complaining) 1. Spiritualized not being on the mainstage 2. Silversun Pickups playing after Feist (she was billed higher, but is playing earlier) 3. Silversun Pickups being there at all 4. having Shabazz Palaces perform in daylight (again) 5. the overall weakness of the mainstage this year, especially compared with all the amazing bands on the second stage.

1. Jack White - Playing White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather, and solo material, HOLY SHIT. To be very honest, I would be happy if he just played Blunderbuss in its entirety.
2. Beck - I have never had an opportunity to see this man live yet. I hope is is not too acoustic.
3. Mark Lanegan Band - New album is a fucking classic in my opinion. It kills me to have to miss Starfucker again, but fuck it, I'll get my fill of "dance acts this year"
4. Bon Iver - Traveling from Wisconsin, so you know I can't miss Bon Iver. Saw them once live before years ago, and it was fantastic. I can only imagine how they'll sound at the Gorge.
5. Spiritualized - He should rely heavily on the Huh album, which is dope. Anything off of Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space will just be the cherry on top.
6. Purity Ring - Love the three songs they have released, and they're releasing a full lp this summer so I am really excited to hear some new material live.
7. Tycho/UMO/Kurt Ville - Good fucking music. I am stoked to experience tycho.
8. Pretty Lights - First night of Sasquatch energy + dancing + intoxicants = Yes please.
9. Santigold - Fun
10. Beirut - Missed him at Outside Lands. I wont make the same mistake this year!
