The Ultimate Reading And Leeds Line-Up

[VCK]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_and_Leeds_Festivals_line-ups

OK, so I thought I'd do something to keep us occupied whilst we're waiting for rumours and other things.

Basically, there's 22 line-ups on that page. You post two line-ups from there. You give the one you think is best 3 points, and the one you think is second best 1 point, kind of like how the football table works.

You can only post once every two hours. In two days the top 16 in the table will go into a knockout elimination round, where a draw will be made to decide which line-ups face each other.

I'll set the ball rolling:

1995: +3 pts

2000: +1 pt

Another note - If years are level on points, it is based upon chronological order.

Hmm I was going to say 95 as well, amazing headliners, (Neil Young with Pearl Jam, are you kidding me?) and a great main stage. I came to the conclusion that 94 is probably my favourite as well as the fact I think it has been overlooked (Jeff Buckley in the tent anyone?) By the way I believe Soundgarden played between the Chillis, and Therapy? on the Sunday but it wasn't listed on the Wikipedia link. Honorable mentions to 02, 92 and 00 which were up there as well.

Final: 1994 3 pts, 1995 1 pt

2002 (3 pts): The Strokes, Muse, Foo Fighters, Weezer, The Prodigy, Slipknot, The White Stripes, Sum 41 and Andrew W.K in one line-up. What more could a man want?!

2008 (1 pt): All in all...a really strong line-up in my opinion. Plus it was my very first Reading festival.
