We're going to go year by year...
2010
I have to put Dirty Projectors from this year because they were so good live and they played before The Black Keys which is a tough act to precede.
Also from the first year, MuteMath because this is where a drugged or drunk man tried puking on Emily. Lollapalooza always provides amazing people watching.
2011
Bright Eyes were definitely the underdog this year. I don't really listen to them much but Emily and I went to listen and we had an interesting experience. During this song I'm about to post, a girl started crying at one point. I didn't realize how emotional it was but this song later became an obsession.
Next, I also have to go Fitz & the Tantrums. They were pretty low on the radar at this point, but another amazing performance. It was hard to pick one song from their set, so I picked their cover of The Raconteurs (Jack White for life, right Emily?)
2012
These two picks are so obvious. Of Monsters and Men are so amazing live and I just want them to produce another album, even though I will never get sick of My Head is an Animal. I just want some more music from them.
My other pick is Miike Snow, hands down the best performance of Sunday (sorry Jack White). I love his music so much and it may have been the beautiful weather and the beers, but his performance was so enjoyable.
Ugh... this is making me so excited for Lolla 2013, but it's so far away!
Until August...
