So lets say you can have either Radiohead or Daft Punk at Bonnaroo 2012. Of could most of us would gladly take either. But which would you prefer if you could only have one?

I'll go on and vote Daft as I've seen Radiohead a few times. I'd be ecstatic about either though.

You have to be kidding me.

Radiohead, of course.

I feel like the legend of Daft Punk has been inflated to a point where it doesn't quite resemble reality anymore.

After completely analyzing the choices in several nanoseconds of thought, Radiohead.

I can't believe this was TIED before I voted  ???

To each their own I guess.

I went with Daft Punk because unless they ever play Lolla again, I really doubt they'd ever come to the Upper Midwest. At least there's a better shot Radiohead would play Alpine or Chicago or somewhere decently close.

I've seen both and would rather have Radiohead.

Let Radiohead go to Pitchfork Fest and/or Coachella to be worshiped by the hipster hordes.

To me they have always been one of those bands that everyone claims to like to up their cool status.

Way overrated in my opinion.

Yeah, because you become the biggest band in the world for 15 years by only having hipsters making up your fan base.

Sorry to sound glib but I was being serious.

I have tried and tried since '93 to get into Radiohead. Just can't do it.


They can make their big Roo comeback and I am sure plenty will love every minute.

I will be napping. Seriously

^I say this from experience, admitting you don't like Radiohead on here is like admitting you're Taylor Swift's #1 fan or something. I don't understand the vitriol reactions, not everyone can like the same bands.

I didn't kill anyones puppy, I'm just not the biggest fan omg ever of Radiohead.

To each their own. If you don't like Radiohead, that's cool. But people other than hipsters like Radiohead. And Pitchfork only has like 15-20k people, so Radiohead wouldn't play there. Even if you don't like Radiohead, there are surely bands that have headlined Bonnaroo that you like less.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I refuse to vote in this. I like Radiohead far more than Daft Punk, but having seen both I will say that a Daft Punk show is something unlike any other show- including Radiohead. I'd be so happy with either that I could never decide between the two.

The "fair" option would be Daft Punk seeing as they still need their first set on the farm.

But I missed 2006, and I'm selfish. So I voted Radiohead.

Echoed. Out of all the Bonnaroos I've attended (7), I've only watched the entire HL set of any band 4 times total - Neil Young, Dave Matthews & Friends, Radiohead and Bruce Springsteen.

As far as the actual question, Daft Punk. Daft Punk has never played Bonnaroo before, and I think that a festival set would be the ultimate way to see them.

Meanwhile, I will go to Radiohead whenever they next tour and enjoy them just as much as if I had seem them at Bonnaroo.

Except you kind of pulled the "people only like this band to look cool" card which is almost always obnoxious.

I mean, if you don't like Radiohead, that's fine, not everyone has to like the same thing. But don't pretend like you were just saying that, you were kind of slyly sticking in there that you somehow think that millions of Radiohead fans are only liking them to be "cool."

Oh, and I vote Radiohead, obviously.

Headliner nappers unite & take over! I'm always swimming upstream back to camp at that time.

I voted for MMJ.

RADIO-MF'IN-HEAD!

Their 06 show was the most amazing concert I can ever hope to see in my life. So let's do it again!  :-[
