Best R/L Line-Up Of The Past 10 Years?

[Desmond 48]

Just browsing through the past Line-Ups on the Leeds homepage, going back to '99/'00.

There has been a fair few brilliant Line-Ups, just curious as to which one's been your favorite.

Obviously if you actually went it would be nice to know what it was like, whatever year you choose.

But I've only been going since 2007 and I think, by the looks of it, 2002 and 2003 are very impressive Line-Ups.

Also, how do they compare to the 2010 Line-Up, or what we have of it anyway.

Thoughts?

2003 was the best line-up for me even with Good Charlotte and Primal Scream f**king up the otherwise awesome run of bands on the mainstage Sunday.

2009 was the worst mainstage line-up. But was saved by FNM, AFI and the lock-up bands

08/05/02 all had fantastic lineups, i think 08 wins overall though.

09 was easily the worst.

Best lineup of all time has to be 1992.

Of the ones I've been to, based purely on line-up not performances:

2008

2005

2007

2006

2004

2009

2010, if the lock up is as good as the rest of the line-up could well slot into second place.

2002 by a long way for me.

Is this from best to worst? Cause 2002 and 2003 so close to the bottom is a bit unexpected.

2000 looks like it would be the most incredible festival ever imo. Headliners Oasis, Pulp and Ian Brown closing off the festival would be too perfect for words, not to mention Doves, Foos, Limp Bizkit, Primal Scream, Deftones, Graham Coxon, Super Furry Animals, Trail of Dead, A, Blink, RATM, Eminem and Slipknot!

But there's the problem imo, it's too easy to look back at past lineups as epic (that year Foos were 3rd on main, Muse headlined the tent and QOTSA were on the FR stage!), just cos a lot of the bands weren't as big back then.

Silly boy.

[scottt]

What? You're allowed to constantly belittle Blink 182 but when someone points out how "Prml scrm" are a load of "wnk" you lash out with vicious name calling?!

not to mention calling someone silly, then giving an answer to "Best line up of the past 10 years" with a lineup from 15 years ago.

Absolutely amazing year.
