Maybe Lollapalooza isn't the best venue for the Chili Peppers but I saw them in '07 and they were awful.

If they are picking the best live acts RIGHT NOW, then someone over the age of 50 should not be on the list.

42. Skrillex

I surprised they didn't put the Boston bomber on the list.

This list is an arbitrary listing of big name acts !

You know what's fun? Look at that list again and imagine Meatpants Turner Overdrive becoming each of them.

I saw them in probably '03, and it was easily the worst and most boring concert I've ever been to. I have no doubt that they were once a great live band, but they probably haven't put on an exciting show since the mid 90's.

its funny because i'd say a good 1/2-2/3 of that list doesn't even actually play or sing anything "live"
