out of these choices, Fatboy Slim. overall, Swell Season

Pendulum, especially if they do a band performance. Looking forward to some hard bass

01-23-2008, 11:40 PM

swell season for sure
and animal collective

01-23-2008, 11:44 PM

The National
NBujZr20O6M

Animal Collective

Looking forward to Mum, The National, and Fatboy Slim, but I went with Raconteurs. I thought they stole the show at Lolla '06, especially when they covered "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)." And with an iffy Friday lineup so far imo, Raconteurs will be even more impressive I think.

The National reminds me of The Frames from Coachella '07

no doubt.

Pendulum will either be totally sick or totally boring...cause that's generally how Drum & Bass is. Either deep, intense melodies, or just the same beat for hours with some idiot on a microphone.

Madness is the best band playing at Coachella this year. Period.

Battles are pretty high on my priorities list as well.

Actually, Friday kicks ass this year. Its definately my favorite day. I also really hope Fatboy Slim conflict with Jack Johnson. That would be perfect. I would be so choked if Fatboy conflicted with Madness though....

This poll needs Swell Season, The National, or Stars added to it

01-24-2008, 12:41 AM

i'm looking forward to Modeselektor myself. i just found out about them and now i'm hooked.

paulb

01-24-2008, 12:50 AM

Verve and Battles....hell yeah!

paulb

01-24-2008, 12:50 AM

oh wait, where is the Jack Johnson choice?

Truta

01-24-2008, 02:17 AM

There's only 10 spots available for the Poll, maybe if there was 20 he would be there....

01-24-2008, 02:27 AM

The Breeders.

01-24-2008, 02:29 AM

I'll be on a gm. of some realy nice Heroin. Just Like the Breeders!!! Oh, I mean like, Kelly Deal.

01-24-2008, 02:36 AM

So, Battles is pretty awesome. Should I let my ethnic friends know to stay away from the Madness show? I don't want anyone being attacked by skinheads on Friday, I wouldn't want them missing Portishead.

I didn't see a Pendulum video in your list btw. Here's one with a fat dancing guy.

Those are the three bands I've never heard of before today. I'm open to seeing any/all of them now.

01-24-2008, 07:47 AM

I think you left out the National and Animal Collective, being my two choices.

musicfan66

01-24-2008, 08:01 AM

Definitely The Verve, though The Breeders are a close second.

Ill be so pissed if Raconteurs conflict with Fatboy Slim, hopefully he headlines Sahara that way Ill have something to watch while JJ is playing.

this is the reality. i just hope its not TOOO packed. Fatboy will def be the highlight for that night. A LOT of people are gonna want to check him out.

That new Madness song kind of blows, but they look pretty good as far as rockin-the-house ability. As long as they stick to the classics, should be pretty sweet.

01-24-2008, 01:18 PM

Fatboy Slim, Battles, Mum

At the Slightly Stoopid New Years show they lit probably 10 Joints and kept passing them into the audience and when a guy spilled his beer Kyle(guitar/Bass player) Gave him a sack right in the middle of a song. They will be the most moked out band of coachella

Yes, I also really like Slightly Stooopid. I'm impressed by the amount of people which don't like or don't even know them.

It reminds me a lot Sublime, which is awesome.

Hey, when did Animal Collective get switched to Saturday? I just noticed that. Saturday has become the day with the most bands I want to see.

sames44

01-24-2008, 02:56 PM

Fatboy! Friday's the best day, going to be conflicts for sure

01-24-2008, 05:26 PM

HOW THE FUCK IS THE VERVE IN SECOND?

quicksand

01-24-2008, 05:27 PM

Wait, more importantly, HOW THE FUCK DID SLIGHTLY STOOPID GET 4 VOTES?

hypervera

01-24-2008, 05:31 PM

HOW THE FUCK IS THE VERVE IN SECOND?

because the verve is a great band!! youre only 17 years old they were huge in 1997 you were a little child at that time and their music still sounds great :thu

HEADSTRUCK

01-24-2008, 05:41 PM

i vote jack white and crew. i seen them at lolla year b4 last and they were the best band all weekend....put on a great live set

Madness were pretty fun to watch, but I think seeing them once was good enough for me. It was awesome just hearing the intro to One Step Beyond live. I think I'm most looking forward to The Swell Season and Stars on Friday. Mum also.

1OJ_xAAGG2o

Yeah, I think that's kind of the problem. They need to stop trying to replace Sublime. Sublime did it well, others can't pull it off (yet). Slightly Stoopid is a lot better than Pepper though, thank God Coachella didn't go there.

This white boy reggae rock talk has just made me realize how much cooler it would be to see 311 headline Coachella than Jack Johnson. I don't think 311 is headliner material either, but it'd be a lot more satisfying than Jack. It'd be a lot more satisfying than jack too.

The National and Jens Lekman, clearly.

01-25-2008, 10:46 PM

at one time I did like sublime, when I was really into ska

for some reason I never got into reggae, and that's when it clicked that I didn't really like sublime--just because date rape was a great song doesn't mean I like the whole band

Memorial_07

01-26-2008, 09:09 AM

I always liked that song by Fatboy Slim... "Rockafeller Skank"
I'm defintley going to see him now.

Out of these, Fatboy Slim is the one I want to see the most.

The Verve
Pendulum (with no MC)
Modeselektor
The Bees
Les Savy Fav

I think Madness is the most historically epic band (apart from Roger Waters)

anyone who hasn't heard and loved "Our House" probably doesn't speak English

and anyone who's ever liked Ska will go nuts especially if they play one step beyond haha omg that'll be amazing

omg 311 would destroy jack johnson

and ya if fatboy slim played during jack johnson, we would officially win

I have to disagree with you about Slightly Stoopid, they are not any new band trying to replace Sublime!?!? They simply play the same music style as Sublime, and they are actually from the same decade, Slightly Stoopid started in 1995.

I have seen them live, and they are great fun.

311 would be awesome.
