I could care less about Stone Roses, and I only want to hear from Blur "Song 2" "Boys and Girls" and "Coffee and TV" and I'll be good.
You should care about The Stone Roses. Their first record is a classic in every sense of the word. Every song on it is great.
Also, I'm pretty new to Blur (just started listening to them in the past year or so), and I'm consistently astounded by just how deep and consistent and chock-full of great songs their catalogue is. "Song 2" isn't even one of their best songs, just a song that randomly fits certain situations. There are no less than 15 Blur songs off the top of my head I'd be hoping for them to play at Coachella:
"Coffee & TV" "Boys and Girls" "Beetlebum" "Tender" "Parklife" "Tracy Jacks" "No Distance Left to Run" "To the End" "End of a Century" "Out of Time" "On Your Own" "M.O.R." "Movin' On" "Blue Jeans" "For Tomorrow"
I would actually choose this over Bonnaroo at this point if the locations were reversed.
Yea because at this point Roo's lineup isn't even out yet.
What i'm saying is I would jump into Coachella without knowing the Bonnaroo lineup right now. I mean, the undercard of Coachella is absolutely perfect for me, almost to a scary point. I'm kinda depressed right now that I simply can not afford to go to this instead of 'roo this year.

Definitely seems like people in general are much more excited about Blur than The Stone Roses. Again, I am surprised by this. I honestly just always assumed the self-titled debut was one of those cult classic records that every true music fan has heard and unanimously agrees on its status as a canonical record, like Daydream Nation or Loveless or something.
fuuuuuuuuck you Horn. I need to stop looking at this thread.
Such an amazing song. I've actually been listening to Nick Cave only since Lolla last summer. Divine Fits covered "Shivers" when I saw them at Schubas (ended up being on the album) and I immediately started googling lyrics, looking into Birthday Party, then looking into Nick Cave, then biznatching at my friends for letting me go almost 30 years without listening to him.
Divine Fits covered Tom Petty when I saw them, I say you win.
Nm they did cover it at the very end, my memory sucks sometimes. They also did a Rolling Stones and Frank Ocean cover. I forgot how quacking amazing that show was.

I dont think this is the part everyone is having trouble with Phoenix headlining, its the flip side where yes they are bigger then that tent opening for crystal castles but are they radiohead/dre snoop/tool/prince big?
No, but they're on the same level as Jack Johnson, Arcade Fire, the Black Keys, Kings of Leon, etc. I'd argue they're actually a way better band than those four save Arcade Fire.
If anyone seriously thinks Phoenix is a worse band than KoL, Keys, or JJ, I don't know what to say. I am beyond confident they will put on amazing show.
Can anyone help me with Dinosaur Jr. I really like the songs I know, but I only know a fraction of their catalog.
I got into them late, but I always loved the album Where You Been. The first few songs are so freaking amazing. Without a Sound is also a strong album. It's got the song that's likely their most popular, I Feel the Pain. Bug, for many people, is a classic album.

By the way, if The Stone Roses don't announce any more U.S. dates soon, I'm going to be in here bothering people about how to fly into Coachella. They are a must see for me. I never thought I'd get a chance to see them after the break up. If this is it, I'm going to lay down the cash to make it happen.

I think the biggest difference is that Blur is just so goddam deep. Like the thing I look for in a headliner is at least a somewhat deep catalogue. So for Blur, we know they'll pull from like six records and it'll be a greatest hits show. For Stone Roses, as much I love the first album, its not nearly as big of a history. Like they have ARGUABLY six great songs. The new stuff might be cool but its just not something that is gonna be worth the headlining set length.
Phoenix on the other hand is perfect for this bump. They have roughly ten great songs from before Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. That album plus their new stuff is gonna make it a hell of a set.
Solid point Jackson, but The Stone Roses' first album > any Blur album. IMO.
Anyway, I think the Roses will probably only get 50 minutes to an hour while Blur will get the full hour-and-a-half headlining set length because, like you said, Blur simply has more sh*t to play. Hopefully the Roses fill that time with stuff from their debut and not new songs or too much stuff from Second Coming.
Speaking of that, it's pretty insane that acts that are 2nd or 3rd on the Coach lineup routinely get 50-minute sets. That is not nearly long enough. For any of you who've been, does that take away from the shows much?

This is actually a big reason I stayed away from Coachella as long as I did. And surprisingly, it doesn't detract from the shows at all in my experience. If anything there is less filler and the shows are more intense more quickly.
It's also hard to be upset about a short set when you have at least a dozen others you're looking forward to in one day.
