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.

1. LCD Soundsystem 2. Massive Attack 3. MGMT 4. Broken Social Scene 5. Vampire Weekend
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 tune 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.

did none of you see Ween? 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.

1. LCD Soundsystem 2. MGMT 3. The National 4. My Morning Jacket 5. Vampire Weekend/ Pavement some comments: LCD's set seemed extremely short, probably because they played Yeah for about 20 minutes. I was choked they didn't play New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down (although I doubted they would) but All My Friends was just: ammazzzinggg! I came into MGMT with low expectations and they totally blew me away. I think everyone who says they don't play well live or their sound doesn't translate have only listened to Time to Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids and go in expecting a dance party when really its a total rock show. The Handshake was fantastic live. Plus they played Kids! Take that Coachella! The National are the fucking shit. They played pretty much their best possible set (within expectations). For some reason everyone i talked to who saw them on the hill said they didn't sound good up there, but fuck em. If they weren't in the pit for that then they don't deserve to enjoy it I was on the hill for the first bit of MMJ but went down for rest and THEY FUCKING KILLED IT AT THE END. I absolutely need the see them again. I was surprised at how into the crowd was for BOH. I knew they were popular but for some reason i always thought they were a band not alot of people loved, so it was nice to hear everyone sing along. Also surprised at how fucking haggard Ben Bridwell looks, haha. the others: I wish I had seen more of Massive Attack, and I loved what I did see, but i was cold and tired and wanted to check out Booka Shade. Their light show was phenomenal. Cymbals Eat Guitar are extremely talented, disappointed that the crowd wasn't really into it. I don't care for Kid Cudi much, but that was THE party of the weekend. Guy puts on a pretty good show, plus i know they guy who he punched so that was cool. Deadmau5 was fucking terrible. Apparently his opening was good, but his second half that i saw was brutal. Booka Shade on the other hand was really sweet. Boys Noize was awesome. Choked I left before he broke the monitor though. so yeah, it was a pretty good weekend. edit: oh right. Pavement. Amazing. The middle of their set was only okay i thought, but the beginning and end were goddamn awesome. Edit again: Oh fuck, forgot about Vampire Weekend. Its all coming back to me now. Hell we even started the conga line on the hill haha. sorry BOH.

In terms of me having the best time at each set, not necessarily the best performances
1. LCD Soundsystem 2. tUnE-yArDs 3. Ween 4. My Morning Jacket 5. Caribou
props to Deadmau5 for the sickest and craziest light show I could ever imagine.
edit: ahaha I forgot about that, that was lol-worthy. What was the backstory on that?

1. My Morning Jacket - I cannot believe how many people watched Vampire Weekend and then left for MMJ. They were absolutely mindblowing. (And Vampire Weekend sucked.)
2. The New Pornographers - Dan Bejar, need I say more?
3. Massive Attack
4. Broken Social Scene - I only wish the set was longer.
5. Pavement - Bruised feet from dancing so hard.
