Lol, this thread is hilarious to me...but not because of anything any of you have said.
This last year, we were camping in a good-sized group, and we had this couple with us that were just.......well... He was ok, she was horrible, but they were both kinda weird (and coming from me, that's saying something). Anyway, Sat morning, me and a couple others were coming down from what I can only describe as the most intense trip of our entire lives (from now on, guaranteed, and I've dosed a LOT), and we were very mentally fragile. We got a hold of some pieces of paper that were from Mars or Alpha Centauri or something....anyway, we're trying to relax while rehabbing our trench feet (from the monsoon Fri night), so we suggest to this dude that he get his MP3 player/bag/whatever and put some music on.
Well, he proceeds to put on the most grating, tinny turdmusic we could imagine...it was NOT what we were looking for. I was like "dude...what IS this?" and he says "Iron & Wine."
Hm....ok............not who I'd have thought it would have been, but ok...maybe you should try one of your other albums. So then he puts on a Claypool solo album. Mind you, I had just come out of the most dramatic experience I may have ever had when nothing was actually really wrong....so it was like "dude....come on."
I finally was like "look man, there are people around us trying to sleep, you're gonna have to do something about this...change it or turn it off or anything, but we can't just be blasting this stuff right now..." and then his girlfriend came out and started talking so ridiculously loud about NOTHING... Like, just yelling. Hollering about Umphreys.
We eventually just went into my lady friend's tent and had some whipped cream propellant, while listening to some grateful dead on said MP3 player/thing. Which was so nice. People were walking by the tent (we called it the Xbox tent because of its color scheme) hearing the "PPPSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!" and laughing, and hey, we didn't care. Blue lips and all.
It was just nice to be away from that awful early-morn wakeup clamor. So that's my story.
Yeah, as stupid as it made us feel, it made us feel just as good.
Which is strange. Cos like, you feel so retarded, but you're so ok with that it doesn't even matter. We missed everything before Levon Helm. Bummer that our Sat was partially-wasted, but oh well!! Friday was epic.

If it's wakeing up that is desired than some RATM should proove usefull. I could go for my favorite Rage song (Wake Up) to get me going. Otherwise I would like any Marley, the Wailers, or Jimmy Cliff

I enjoyed The Wood Brothers last year on one of the days. This year I wouldn't mind some James Taylor, or like someone else mentioned, reggae is never a bad wake up option.
lol i thought this thread was about what song do you sometimes wake up to when you get up everday at your own home. in that sense... its Exit Music by Radiohead. i love waking up to Thom's voice , "wake from your sleep". its a gentle song so it doesnt scare the shit out of you when it comes on either.
but in terms of roo.... the hot sun always wakes me up before any music gets going.
Yeah, as stupid as it made us feel, it made us feel just as good.

Yeah its so good feeling but so weird (in a good sense) I like listening to The FLips in the morning or some Michael Franti!

At Bonnaroo, CCR's tolerable in the morning for me. Any slow-tempo bluegrass or whatever's fine too. Just nothing too upbeat early on. We usually don't play any music anyway, just listen to whatever our neighbors are playing.
MMMM I love waking up to Radiohead or Rodrigo Y Gabriela. Something about a Spanish guitar just gets me.
Last year at camp, I remember waking up, putting on some RYG and making the most amazing tempeh scrambles, yogurt with my homemade granola, ice cold watermelon and some effen crucial Bloody Marys!
Mogwai would be awesome. Bill Frisell was pretty good a few years ago. But his show didn't really fit the 'roo crowd too well. Orquestra Baobab was pretty hot last year. But the #1 Sunday opener would be:
