Mine are, in no particular order of preference:

1- X (really like that rockabilly edge they have). So happy to see them again this year.
2- Buzzcocks (catchy pop punk).
3- Johnny Marr & The Healears (I just love the way Johnny plays guitar).

And you?.

    I didn't get to see the Keys open but that would be one.
    Maybe MMJ. But honestly I don't usually care for the openers.
    Band of horses was decent but I wouldn't pay to see them.

    PJ20 was different QOTSA was good and the strokes were surprisingly good.

    Idlewild, Steve Earle and early Kings Of Leon.

    Please never Ben Harper again...hes opened for them at 16 shows ive been too...

    And seriously the worst ever opener...for those in Dublin 2006...Paddy Fucking Casey, it still seems like a horrible nightmare....HORRIFIC

    Favorite opener I've seen would be the night in Toronto when Ted Leo could not make it across the border. We got Ed solo, Mike solo, Stone solo, Ed and Jeff, plus Ed and Mike with the Pharmacists. So good.

    I liked Band of Horses as an opener and their lead singer dueting with Ed on All Along The Watchtower to close out Hartford in 2010.

    Not a fan of Mudhoney.

    When did The Black Keys open for Pearl Jam?

    Were there only 2 guys on stage or do they have backing musicians?

    ...I swear I never took it for granted. Just thought of it now.

    1. Black Keys (did this only happen that one show on 5-20-10? I feel very fortunate)
    2. Death Cab for Cutie
    3. Queens of the Stone Age

    Queens barely beat out Mudhoney, but I like more of their stuff
