With this, I wouldn't mind if REM was the Pre-Headliner for Radiohead on Saturday. They get an extended set and Radiohead plays later (like Stevie and Jay-Z) this year. Then Arcade Fire on Friday and Neil closes it out on Sunday.
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

I don't know if you would have to. Radiohead is appealing enough to everyone that I think they could get away without having a jam band headline, especially if you also have someone like Neil Young closing it out on Sunday. But they'd definitely have to have a jam band on the first line, though, like Furthur fifth or sixth on the lineup and have them play late night Which. I think jam fans would be OK with that.

I'm a huge fan of both bands but I'd be pretty offended if Arcade Fire got to headline before MMJ got the nod... It just wouldn't seem right. My Morning Jacket has melted entirely too many faces on the farm to not get considered before a band of nearly equal popularity that has never even played the festival before.
I dont really consider Dave Matthews a jam headliner.
Dave Matthews is a jam headliner. Although I find him a bit poppish for my own tastes, he did still perform ten minute songs throughout his closing set, albeit it not being his best. Dave is part of the jam scene and he helped create Bonnaroo, so don't underestimate him.
That being said, I think it would be great if they got the four best jam bands outside of DMB for next year:

Furthur SCI WSP Phish.
That would be insane.
I think it's a safe bet that we will see at least two of those bands in '11. WSP is a slam dunk. I just hope Further and Phish also play.
Hrmmmm... debatable, what are we factoring in here? Personally IMO i feel aracade fire's music is more interesting and alot of it is better then the few Phish songs i can still stand to listen to, But... i agree as musicians i would have to go with Trey Anastasio Mike Gordon, Jon Fishman, and Page McConnell but thats not to say that i think there music is "undeniably" better

It is hard to quantify better when discussing music. Phish certainly is more popular though especially as a live act.
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
Like I pointed out pages ago, it seems they are sticking with a pretty simple formula for Headliners: One Rock (Contemporary or Classic), One Big Draw (Alternative, hip-hop, metal, electronic, large, diverse fan base), One Jam Band (WSP, Phish, DMB). If they stick to it, like they have since about '06, lineup might be easy to figure out:
Rock - The Rolling Stones/Paul McCartney/Neil Young (Buffalo Springfield)/U2/Radiohead Big Draw - Quite a few could fit here Jam - Phish/Further/The Dead/Widespread Panic
Obviously Phish are fantastic musicians. There's just not much like an Arcade Fire show. Phish show had it's moments like jam band shows do, but Arcade Fire was just non-stop greatness for 90 minutes.

That is a opinion for sure, but still Phish is much more popular live act.

Let's see Phish are better musicians, songwriters(i know it must be bad then), performers, and a bigger draw to a crowd that Bonnaroo is dedicated to. Hmmm which band should Bonnaroo get....

I like Radiohead.... Seriously I think Phish would be the single best band they could get for Sunday. Unless AC/S considers Neil for Sunday. And to suggest that they should remove Phish for Arcade Fire is anti-Bonnaroo, but what else can you expect from kids these days.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
