EDIT
Also, if you look in The Mars Volta thread, someone posted at NY Times article saying that The Mars Volta will be playing at Bonnaroo. So I guess they will be an addition. So add The Mars Volta to the list.

My Bonnaroo top ten must-sees, in descending order:
10) Gogol Bordello 9) Death Cab for Cutie 8) Ozomatli 7) Kanye West 6) My Morning Jacket 5) Talib Kweli 4) Rilo Kiley 3) Pearl Jam 2) Ben Folds 1) BATTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That said, I have a lot of homework to do, because I don't recognize a lot of bands on the lineup, AND because I have a lot of friends who are crazy about Iron & Wine, Sigur Ros, etc., and I've not heard a note.
If you would stop and notice that we number every day But allow the many moments left uncounted slip away You don't have to count them, just enjoy them one by one Then things would take a different hue and sparkle in the sun - Phish
where is the ozomatli love ?? don't act like you guys don't know about ozo shows.....be there!! i will give you your money back if you do not have a good time. *
also, i'm not seeing Cat Power on the lists? Huh??
and I must pump up The Avett Brothers. They are all levels of awesome live...so much energy and hybrids of music....great, great stuff. i promise!
i am really enjoying seeing artists that I am not familiar with and then checking them out, so thanks everyone!

The release of the Raconteurs has increased my excitement for their show. I was pumped before, but now I'm PUMPED!!!!!!! This stuff will play incredibly well live.

Yeah, these new tunes are gonna rock. I wasn't too thrilled about The Raconteurs before, but after hearing this new album, I'm definitely gonna catch this set.
Why is it that I have only seen MSTRKRFT posted once? To the people unfamiliar with them, give them a chance. They will make you want to dance your asses off.
I am also looking forward to all the great dance parties that are gonna go down.
But Also Metallica!!!! BB King Pearl Jam MIA MSTRKRFT Tiesto!!!! !!! Death Cab Gogol Bordello Willie Fucking Nelson people!!!!
-minus the bear -allman brothers band -Sigur Ros -my morning jacket -Tiesto (love his stuff. i hope he plays some of his tracks off parade of the athletes) -Death cab -Iron and Wine
I've divided my '08 roo schedule into 4 categories:
Can't Miss Would Like to See If no conflicts Ew No
On my Cant Miss list:
Pearl Jam Metallica Kanye West Chris Rock Robert Plant & Allison Krauss My Morning Jacket Sigur Ros The Swell Season Vampire Weekend Broken Social Scene Gogol Bordello
If any of those conflict, I'll die a little inside. These are bands I've never seen, and in some cases, most likely will never get an opportunity to see outside of Roo
