I'm sure there is already a thread for this somewhere, but what the heck...
I saw:
The Entrance Band Local Natives Miike Snow JB Smoove Temper Trap Dieselboy Mayer Hawthorne Wale Jay Electronica Nas & Damian The Flaming Lips Crystal Method B.o.B. Dead Weather Jeff Beck Stevie Wonder Jay-Z Thievery Corp. Disco Biscuits Against Me Ween Medeski Martin and Wood Dave Matthews Les Claypool
I caught a little of Dropkick Murphys, Deadmau5, and Gwar, but no more than a song at each I don't think
Dave wasn't that great, it had its moments, but too much new stuff.
Notable acts I saw: The National The Gaslight Anthem Norah Jones Avett Brothers Julia Nunes x2 Umphrees McGee (solar stage) KOL Stevie Wonder Fogerty DMB and 5 or so others
I hated missing GWAR and Flaming Lips
Of what I saw, Stevie Wonder was the best, followed by the Avett Brothers, The National, and The Gaslight Anthem
Needtobreathe (half set) Damian Marley/Nas (couple songs) Tenacious D Michael Franti (half set) KOL Flaming Lips B.O.B. (half set) Avett Brothers (couple songs) Mumford and Sons (half set) Weezer Stevie Wonder Jay-Z (experience of a lifetime) Deadmau5 (mainly sat at the fountain but could hear it) Dave Matthews
Jay-Z totally blew me away and i'll never forget that concert. KOL also surprised me and I became a fan after that show. Flaming Lips were disappointing...too much talking and stalling. DMB disappointed as well...couldn't even play some classics like "Crash into Me".
Great first Bonnaroo experience...but the music was hardly the highlight of it

Stevie Wonder-I was 20 rows from the stage. Kings of Leon-I was 20 rows from the stage. Tenacious D-20 rows from the stage. The Flaming Lips-very close Jimmy Cliff-3 rows from the stage Ween-front row Tori Amos-3 rows from the stage Dropkick Murpheys-3 rows from the stage The Melvins-3 rows from the stage Miike Snow-3 rows from stage Ok Go-3 rows from stage Mexican Institute of Sound-front row

I really enjoyed The Flaming Lips, it could've been my mind state, but I thought they sounded pretty good, especially the DSOTM stuff. Wayne did talk a lot, but you have to expect that, I didn't really mind it gave be a break every now and then and I had a good spot with most of my friends that wasn't cramped at all.
Jay-Z was awesome, one of the best shows I saw all weekend.
DMB Kings of Leon Jay Z (had the most fun at this one) Dead Weather Damian Marly and Nas Regina Spektor The Avett Brothers (loved the energy!! Not only from the band, but the crowd too) The Black Keys (Ugh so mad I only stayed for two songs cause I couldn't handle my shit) Deadmau5 The Gossip Miranda Lambert Jay Electronic (had to leave early cause he was just so annoying)

All are full sets unless otherwise noted.
Thursday: Fanfarlo Here We Go Magic (Or Here We Go Again if you believe the word of some coked out announcer lunatic) (only stayed for about three songs) J.B. Smoove comedy Local Natives Neon Indian Blitzen Trapper (fell asleep a little bit for this) The xx
Friday: Tokyo Police Club Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Dr. Dog (about five songs) She & Him Tenacious D Children's Hospital with Rob Corddry there Kings of Leon (saw about 45 minutes of it) The Flaming Lips (saw the regular set, skipped all but a song or two of Dark Side) LCD Soundsystem
Saturday: Conan (got in line over three hours early and the girl I was dating and I got two of the last five tickets) Jeffrey Ross The Dead Weather (probably about twenty five minutes of this) Weezer Dan Deacon Gwar Deadmau5 (after Gwar got over, saw about thirty minutes)
Sunday: Ingrid Michaelson (about fifteen minutes, then I left the girl I was dating there because it was so bad) Japandroids Regina Spektor They Might Be Giants Aziz Ansari
So the people who only saw like ten things all weekend, do you normally see that little? Just party and hang out the rest of the time or what? Some of your guys' lists seem surprisingly short to me, but maybe that's just how some people do it. An older guy in a tent by me seemed to never leave camp as far as I could tell. I sat down when I needed a rest and certain shows I sat out of the tent for so I could relax, but I guess other than that I tried to see as much good stuff as I could.
I saw: Dave Matthews Band (some) Kings of Leon Stevie Wonder (fell asleep) Jay-Z Weezer (one song, beverly hills)) The Dead Weather (discovered) Damian Marley and Nas Phoenix (i was painting) Norah Jones Michael Franti and Spearhead (half show) Ween (i was painting) The Avett Brothers (i was painting) Tori Amos (half show)) The Black Keys (discovered) Deadmau5 (some & disovered) She & Him (the band that sold me) Kid Cudi John Butler Trio (discovered and saw twice!) Gwar (half show, discovered) Wale (discovered) Big Sam's Funky Nation Trombone Shorty & New Orleans Avenue Carolina Chocolate Drops Langhorn Slim The Devil Makes Three (discovered)
most of my bonaroo 2010 experience was discovering new music which is honestly what i think is the best part.
Stevie Wonder Michael Franti and Spearhead Flaming Lips LCD Soundsystem Avett Brothers Thievery Corporation Margaret Cho Ozomatli Dr. Dog Miike Snow Carolina Chocolate Drops Dawwes Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Umphrey's (partial) Disco Biscuits (partial)

2009 my general strategy was "get everywhere way early to get close". But there were more people I really really really wanted to see, and less conflicts.
2010 there were a shit-ton of artists I kinda wanted to see, lots of conflicts, and I wasn't as concerned about getting really close. So my strategy last year was to see as much as humanly possible. Keep in mind most of these are half sets
Thur Miike Snow (only a few songs) JB Smoove (full- I wanted to leave early but it seems so rude in a comedy show) The XX (full) Lotus (A few songs before resting up for a busy friday)
Fri Diane Birch (Sonic set full) Tokyo Police Club (a few songs) Jay Electronica (about 40 min) Umphrees (40-50 min) Damian Marley + Nas (a few songs) Disco Biscuits Sonic Stage Set (Full) Tenacious D (almost entire set) Les Claypool (part) *naptime* (awesome part about not caring about headliners) Black Keys (about an hour) Then something like: Flaming Lips>Bassnectar> Lips>Bassnectar Crystal Method (a song or 2) LCD Soundsystem (full)
Sat Circa Survive (on tv in the chase freedom lounge.. does that count?) Poetix Vanguard on the solar stage.. very impressive Jeffrey Ross (full) Dead Weather(full) Weezer>Jeff Beck>Weezer>Back to Jeff Beck *nap time* Jay-Z (about 50 min) Dan Deacon Ensemble (full) Deadmau5 (full) Disco Biscuits (from when Deadmau5 ended til sunrise)
Sunday Day got a little messed up because I didn't get into the early Aziz show I planned Japandroids (few songs) Can't remember where I was for the next few hours...maybe some Against me!? I know I saw some of John Fogerty Then a few Dropkick Murphys songs Aziz Ansari Phoenix
The end
Goddamn that took forever to type out.... 33 shows, not too shabby
