    2. The Jesus and Mary Chain
    3. The Velvet Underground (& Nico)
    4. Bob Dylan
    5. Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, Stevie Nicks)

    Not necessarily in this order, and they're not necessarily my favourite bands either, but this would make for a more... interesting... festival:

    1. Iron Maiden
    2. Bruce Dickinson solo :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    3. Dream Theater
    4. Queensryche (Mindcrime-era)
    5. Queen
    6. Rhapsode of Fire
    7. Metallica pre-Black Album (they were so much better back then)
    8. Johnny Cash
    9. Ska-P
    10. Sonata Arctica
    11. Meatloaf
    12. Edguy

    1. Iron Maiden (first song: Iron Maiden)
    2. Lamb of God
    3. Children of Bodom
    4. Bob Dylan

    9. Amon Amarth
    10. Joe Satriani
    11. R.E.M

    There must also be an open bar, mescaline and endless caffeine.
