Reading all of the negativity surrounding the lineup, I can't believe that there are so many people that are ignorant to different styles of music. I'm curious to see how many of you can really appreciate other genres. Post all the shows you've seen in the past two years.
Coldplay/Fiona Apple etc.
I'm confused-- is this a thread in which to promote positive attitudes and appreciate diversity for what it is, or is it a pissing contest to see who has the best taste in music based solely on the concerts they've seen recently? Your post was a little unclear on this. Diversity is absolutely a great thing, but I don't understand why so often people attempt to identify themselves as such without realizing how self-aggrandizing it is. A thread praising diversity is great. A thread where people compete to see who is the most "diverse" is a truly asinine idea.
i'm not going to list all the shows I've seen in the past year. I'll only say that going to Bonnaroo every year, and being a member of oink for several years, allowed me to expand my musical tastes so much that I have completely different musical tastes than just 7 years ago, before Bonnaroo had ever even been announced.
I *LOVE* the diversity I've seen them bring over the course of 7 festivals, and I hope they continue to diversify the lineup for 7 more festivals. If that happens, and it stays within the realm of what I find to genuinely be good music, I'll be at each and every one of them.
As others have said, I have historically been too poor to go to all of the shows I'd like, but on the iPod right now: A3, Adrian Belew, Billie Holliday, King Crimson, Marillion, Wilco, Cake, Flaming Lips, New Pornographers, Neko Case, Bjork, Radiohead, TV on the Radio (please, please be at Roo 08), White Stripes, The Strokes, The Shins, Tool, The Cure, Wilco, Ben Folds, Beck, LCD, Crystal Method, Hot Chip, Postal Service, The Cult . . . Not a comprehensive list, but it's what I'm in to right now

Thank you Dr. Phil, but I didn't ask for your council. You're the only one that has said anything about it being a competition. You need to get a life.

Duly noted; I'll add that to my wish list. I'm sorry you felt so personally offended, but your original post really skirted the issue. Again, if you want to talk about how good and important diversity is I'm all for that. In fact, I doubt anyone around here would say they don't like diversity. But with a thread title like "How Diverse Are You?", and the goading to post all the shows you've seen in the last two years to prove that you have diverse musical tastes, well, if it's not a competition it at least has an elitist, self-serving pretense. For the record I appreciate your list and do think it's pretty diverse, plus it's got some kickass artists. But again, that shouldn't be what celebrating diversity is all about, right? I'll also say that I appreciate you responding to me verbally (even with heavy sarcasm and name-calling), as opposed to just smiting me. It's always better to have discourse.
Last two years huh....there's probably more...and after looking at this, I'd probably have more cash if I stopped going to the same damn shows over and over again....
Allmans (x6), Guns N Roses, Bullet for my Valentine, Arctic Monkeys, Oversol, Rodrigo y Gabriella (plus Roo), Mule (x2 plus Roo), Gogol (x2 plus Roo), Flogging Molly (x2), Bedouin Soundclash, The Pogues (x2), Towers of London, The Tossers, Phil & Friends, G.R.A.B., Tom Petty, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Foo Fighters, Wu-Tang (x2), Rage Against the Machine (x2), Public Enemy, Sage Francis, Cypress Hill (x2), Rancid (x2), H2O, Fearless Vampire Killers, Van Halen, and Whichever Marley kid opened for Van Halen
Edit: Oh and stop fighting...who doesn't like to brag about what they've done? It's human nature...this is what I've done, therefore it's who I am...love me.

Wow, sorry if I offended. It was my intention only to answer the question "How Diverse Are You?" which I interpeted to mean musically. As the bands that play a fest are not always of one's own choosing, I thought the folks that I choose to have sign my guitar were more indicative of my taste in music.
That's cool dudezer47, I'm slow to catch on sometimes!
Thanks for the Karma sammy o. You and I both live in Indiana, if you make it down to Bloomington, I'll buy you a drink.
man i used to go b-town in college when i was goin' to vincennes...brings back memories!!! i'm up a halfhour out of chicago...so you're about 3hours away...but i'll certainly keep that in mind...i'd love to see that axe if you don't have it in a museum by then.
