This will be my first year at roo but I have watched and checked things out for the last 4 or 5 years. So for all you roo vets out there, how would you rank this years lineup so far? I mean size wise because from the previous years listed, it already seems just a tad larger than any other year. I counted 160 names yesterday so I was just curious. Thanks
Taste is so subjective. I'll just say that I've been every year since 2004 and have never found myself bored. There's always more to see and do than there is time.

I've been going since 2005 (missed last year though) and this is the best lineup for my tastes. So many amazing bands that Roo has helped me discover and a good variety of bands I haven't seen/been into but have been enjoying. This is a great lineup.
I think it's a pretty damn good line-up, with some things that I'm disappointed about. So far in my four years (startin' in '07) my favorite year was 2009. My judgement lacks balance though as I finally got to see David Byrne, and at Bonnaroo to boot! Last year I wasn't hugely impressed at first, but after the festival I walked away with a lot of great shows! So I'm hopin' that's kinda how it'll be fer me this year. Know a few bands I definitely wanna see, and catch some that I've never really heard of and be blown away!

Well, quantity is easy enough to compare, let's see...I count: 162 on the 2011 lineup so far 178 on the 2010 lineup (including Gary Chardonnay) 155 on the 2009 lineup, plus Phish played 2 sets
And then I got bored of counting, so I guess maybe that isn't enough information to really go by, but at least this year seems to be on par with last year. This year is 16 short of last year so far, but that could be a reasonable number of adds still coming. Especially since I'm thinking we don't have Silent Disco DJs on there yet? But I'm not sure about that.
Anyway, I don't think this lineup is anything too different in terms of quantity.
