Let's start off by comparing headliners: Kanye West/Drake/Iggy & The Stooges/Atoms For Peace vs. The White Stripes/Florence & The Machine/Kacey Musgraves/Sufjan Stevens - I'll say the White Stripes are probably the best headliner in this bunch because of the reunion aspect, but that's the only strong headliner I see on Bing's side. Florence is a weak headliner or sub and Kacey and Suf aren't even close to headliners (I say this as massive fans of both). I do have a question, do people actually care about Florence? I feel like the idea of Florence and the Machine sounds nice and then you realize you can't remember the last time they released interesting music.
Subs: Grace Jones/Charli xcx/Chris Stapleton/ASAP Rocky/Nicolas Jaar/Fleet Foxes vs The 1975/FKA Twigs/Queens Of The Stone Age/Wu Tang/AVICCI/Skrillex - I think the comparison here is really close. Bing has very big subs (a couple of them should probably be headlining) but I think he has more filler than my side, while the better subs on both side (Grace/Charli/Nicolas Jaar/Fleet Foxes vs FKA Twigs/QOTSA/Wutang) are relatively equal objectively. Also anyone remember Josh Homme kicking that lady in the face?
I'm going to ignore the undercard filler and just focus on the really interesting stuff on both of our lineups (although I believe Bing has more filler than I do) Me: Bicep, The Rapture, The Streets, Woodkid, WU LYF, Owen Pallett, Grizzly Bear, Antony & The Johnsons, The Whitest Boy Alive, SOPHIE, Divine Fits, Lush, Ezra Furman, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, TEED, Playboi Carti, Sly Stone, Neko Case, Deerhunter, The Last Shadow Puppets, Dead Can Dance, Stromae, Swans, Floorplan, Nickel Creek, Jens Lekman, Omar S, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann (If anyone has any questions about my lineup or these specific acts please ask away!) Bing: Feist, Warpaint, Tallest Man On EArth, Noname, US Girls, Nathy Peluso, Kamasi Washington, Caifanes, Savages, The Blaze, Jambinai, Courtney Barnett, Regina Spektor, Carly Rae Jepsen, Roni Size, Derrick May, DESPACIO
Obviously I prefer my own lineup, but to me the undercard really sets up apart here.

Here is my matchup analysis...
If this game was about who has the best 7 names on their lineup, Tranter would prob win the full thing for me. But I'm happy that my Headliners and subs compete with his in addition to my undercard being vastly superior.
Roger Waters, OutKast, Billie Eilish vs Gorillaz, Beastie Boys, Lizzo
Honestly these are two great headlining trios. I think he nudges me out, but mine are fire in their own right.
Subs Highlights
Tranter: Thom York, David Byrne, James Blake, Grimes, Death Grips, Vince Staples Jortles: Phoenix, St. Vincent, Jamie xx, Yaeji, Danny Brown, The Roots
Again... I'd give Tranter a small edge here due to Thom and Byrne being much better than Phoenix and St Vincent. Jamie >>>> James. Yaeji < Grimes (not by much), Danny = Grips, Roots >>>>> Vince.
Unique Undercard Acts that I would pay $40 to see here in Jacksonville Florida if they came to town:
Tranter: !!!, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, black midi
Jortles: Four Tet / Daphni / Floating Points, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jon Hopkins, DJ Shadow, Laura Marling, Two Fingers, Company Flow, Little Dragon, Kim Petras, Channel Tres, Ross From Friends, The Pharcyde, Charlotte Gainsbourg
I mean I guess this is just my personal tastes, but I can't even tell who Tranter drafted and who is a free agent below his subs. Whereas I have a bunch of treats sprinkled throughout each day.
I also have to mention that my lineup is much more "Coachella" with more DJs and quality electronic influence throughout.
I don't think many people care outside of Sang, but I'm right there with Sang and Jaz for best hip hop lineup.
So while I understand why his main 7 acts are tough to vote against, I think I have a pretty good case here. My best 8 headliners / subs are still right there with his even if his have the edge, but the rest of my lineup is john blaze and his gets a little bland imo after the subs. I'm still admitting that I'm going up against a great lineup here, but I feel like people should look a little closer before voting based on a handful of acts.
