Top Bands I Want to Watch at Bonnaroo 2009: 31-19

bonnaroo2009:

JosonofJo’s countdown list of the top 31 bands that I want to watch at Bonnaroo 2009…

This list is fluid (like “The River” by David Byrne & Brian Eno”) and not static, so I thought that I would demonstrate how my list of my rankings of the top 31 bands that I want to watch at Bonnaroo 2009 changes over time. Keep in mind that the actual Bonnaroo schedule affects the rankings of the bands (for instance my love for Nine Inch Nails has greatly affected the ranking of Ben Harper, moe., MGMT & my love for David Byrne significantly affected the ranking of Beastie Boys). So, here goes the demonstration of the fluidity of my countdown of top 31 bands I want to watch at Bonnaroo 2009… and, yes, this list will continue to change. I’m very excited that we are only 19 days away from Bonnaroo!

O.K. That gets everybody up to date on my rankings of the top 31 bands that I want to see at Bonnaroo up to this point. My boss told me that I should not reveal my progressions of the rankings because it will just make me look “too psychotic.” Hey, I think it makes me look like I’m having a blast figuring out who I’m going to watch at Bonnaroo!

 This list rocks because I have had the pleasure of listening to bands I normally would have over looked. It’s great with JosonofJo playing the mix for each day. Each day it is fun to come in and figure out which band has been moved, who’s been dropped and who’s been added.  Keep the remix of the list going until Bonnaroo.
