I have enjoyed the Walkmen but no effing way I see them over the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
Drive-by-Truckers over Widespread is fine, but I've seen a lot of the former and havent seen the latter in years
I'd definitely see Bob Mould over the Decemberists

Definintely not Lucinda over Robert Earl. Lucinda never really deserved her reputation. Her music is bland, her lyrics are pretty trite, and her performances have been, on the whole, uninspired (in the sense of "wobbling-drunk and has to read her own lyrics off a stand next to her"). Robert Earl, on the other hand, is fun, tells stories, and seems like he's having a good time. And there's a decent chance that Lyle Lovett will drop by to join him for "The Front Porch Song."
Get up early Day One to catch Split Lip Rayfield: punk-bluegrass. The bass player's instrument is made from the gas tank of an old pickup truck.
She's actually favoring Oasis over Widespread, but I'd back you on the Panic. Unless you happen to fall into a hole and wind up back in 1998, in which case Oasis is the better bet.
I'd go see Dirty Dozen just because they're all homeless now and they deserve the support. (The fact that they put on a fun show doesn't even enter into it.) Ditto on Kermit Ruffins, but I know how you folks love your Wilco.
Blues Traveler? No way. You're heard one deedley-deedley-deedley harmonica solo, you've heard them all. Unless you fall in a hole and wind up back in 1988...
I'd like to back you on Bob Mould, but he's a long, long way from "Workbook," and even farther from the glory days of Husker Du. He should've stuck with writing storylines for the WWF.
ETA: my first STP. Yay!
