What a joke of a ranking. Bonnaroo 2009 in the top ten GOAT? I was there, and I wouldn't even put it in the top half of the four Bonnaroos I've attended. In what universe does Bruce & Phish @ Roo '09 top Prince & Roger Waters @ Coach '08?

I always thought Roo 09 was considered one of the best. Hell, of the five years I went, it was pretty easily my favorite top to bottom.

That’s a popular opinion on the board, and I’m not trying to say I didn’t have a damn good time. But I don’t care for Bruce or Phish - and that’s the three highest billed sets right there, so it loses some appeal. In retrospect, it was the last of the middle years format of Roo, with longer set times and a bit less “poppy” of a lineup. So I’m glad that was there for that.
That said, I still saw some great shows. The one and only Beastie Boys show I ever saw turned out to be their last ever, and I’m very grateful to have caught them. They’re one of the bands I’ve consistenly loved the longest, since about age 10. Seeing Public Enemy in the front row, directly in front of Flava Flav as they played It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in full for only the second time ever, is one of my best concert memories of all time. They’re another band I’ve loved since my tweens - and I’d seen them years before, but Roo was on another level. Nine Inch Nails were fucking brilliant, even if their “last show ever” turned out to be their last show for like 6 weeks, a la MIA the year before. And I caught my first Wilco show, who I’ve now seen ~12-15 times (a couple Solid Sounds and all the sit-ins and side projects makes it iffy what constitutes Wilco). Plus the second half of David Byrne, TV on the Radio, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Al Green... I’m not hatin’ on Roo ‘09. But a top ten festival ever?!

Bonnaroo 2014 was so fucking good. I can see how Lolla 08 was super impresssive on the headliner level, (except you couldn't see both of RATM/Wilco or Kanye/NIN) but Roo 14 was just another level altogether.
Some other favorite I attended not in list: Coachella 2009, Virgin Mobile Festival 2008, Bonnaroo 2006, JazzFest 2010
There were 6 bonnaroos in the list. My personal top 6 lineups (though I was only actually there for 4/6) would be 2009>2013>2014>2006>2004>2003, leaving out the '07,'08,'12 they featured in top 100.
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.
