So i was bored in class and just read through the whole headliner thread from last year for shits and giggles. Two of the headliners were suggested at least a few days before the line up dropped MMJ (by me, hold your applause) and Massive Attack (by funnygrrl who also has the distinction of flat out dismissing MMJ so it's kind of a wash).
It's kind of comical how much the conversation this year and last year is the exact same shit. Last year there was a shit ton of talk about jack johnson (some people saying he didn't fit, some saying he was too expensive, others saying he was inevitable), Arcade Fire, Strokes, and of course soundgarden was inevitable (2 days before the line up people were still quoting sources saying they were on there)
anyway overall significantly more productive year this year. Just for a laugh here is the strangers guess at the lineup last year:
Pavement, Soundgarden, Flaming Lips, Them Crooked Vultures, Faith No More, MGMT, The Black Keys, Band of Horses, Jamie Liddel, Phoenix, Chromeo, The Dead Weather, LCD Soundsystem, Peter, Bjorn and John, Vampire Weekend, The National, She and Him, Broken Bells, Japandroids, Nada Surf, The Thermals, Local Natives, Girls, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, The XX, The Temper Trap, Neon Indian, Vetiver, Wale, Morning Teleportation, Miike Snow, Why?, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Owen Pallet, Laura Veirs, Fresh Espresso, As Tall As Lions, Macklemore, Portugal. the Man, Frightened Rabbit, Bassnectar, Mew, Dirty Projectors, The Moondoggies and a bunch of bands I have not heard of yet...

It was actually a horrible guess at last years lineup. That lineup would probably have about the same amount right from this years line up as it did last year also this made me crack up pretty hard: sasquatchfest.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=music&action=display&thread=457

It all depends when the guess was posted. And Horned Gramma, Hypnotoad simply has you under his control.

Can't help but notice that 90% of the people bitching about last year's lineup in that thread are no longer on the board. Can't help but hope they don't come back.

i meant to say "if HG doesn't like them, that means I'll probably like them", but I'm clearly too stupid to be witty today.

I guess they can't all be jems just ignore it. If the band has a sizable alternative audience they fit the bill for sasquatch. We aren't going to see britney spears but RATM or Jack Johnson would both fit in just fine

I stand by that statement though. I spent most of that thread explaining to people why JJ wouldn't be there (cost) but disagreed with people that said he wouldn't fit
