The first iteration of Lilith Fair really made me love live music. I remember that Sinead O'Connor and Natalie Merchant -- two artists I wasn't totally into at first, but came away loving -- were particularly incredible. For this return, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see (deep breath): MIA, Ladyhawke, Neko Case, Santogold, Emily Haines, Kasey Chambers, Kristen Hersh (pleasepleaseplease), Martha Wainwright, Ladytron, Tanya Donnely (reunited with her stepsis K. Hersh, as Belly, for maximum awesomeness), Rilo Kiley, reunited Sleater-Kinney, and, as a wild card, reunited Luscious Jackson. Oh and Erin McKeown; I miss her.

@bigred: you literally just named every act I was going to name. (though you have a few extras - Sugarland? Ouch. But the rest - hell yes! Plus Neko Case and Grace Potter.)

Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera. But it would be a dream if they had a duet with each other!

Okay, just going to toss in Janelle Monae just to see how the regular Lilith Fans react to the bobby-socked/bowtied android girl. She's a singer-songwriter, too, dagnabbit.

With the release of the new (not quite my style) Yeah Yeah Yeahs album, I miss Karen O from about "Fever to Tell Days". I'd love more women in the new line-up with more of that rawness in contrast to Sarah and her ilk.

No diss to Sarah Mc, I've seen her in concert multiple times. But gotta have some acts that bring the rock, or the funky. Like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott? Why the hell not? These are strong women who have a cross-cultural following, and have tracks in their discography that would fit in a more-inclusive Lilith Line-up.

Also, they could try those cross-genre collaborations that sometimes work well (Adele/That chic from Sugarland at this year's Grammys). MIA/Sarah McLachlan/Adele/Jill Scott collabo? What would that sound like?

Also, this concert needs something more, shall we say, rockin.' Joan Jett, for example.

Extra bonus points if they can get Lita and the rest of the girls (well, not all the rest, RIP Sandy) back for a Runaways reunion.

talking of the Runaways. Wikipedia says there's a movie in the works starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie.

That's a joke, right? Please?

@That_little_attention_whore: DAKOTA FANNING?

Why? Why? Isn't there another young actress that could play her? WHY? It's like Beyonce playing Etta James: just plain wrong.

@kick_out_the_iambs: well, kristen stewart must have a hell of a range if she can play that feeble-minded twit from "twighlight" and Joan Jett. Dakota Fanning...I don't even know what to say to that. I am afraid to find out who they are casting as Lita...

I'd like to see rock music, and not only singer-songwriter stuff. I vote for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Donnas, Sahara Hotnights, and The Sounds. I also like a Swedish band called Those Dancing Days:

Jezzies have excellent taste in music. I like most of the above, and would like to add Martha Wainwright. Because she's AWESOME!

BRANDI CARLILE! I mean, she did get her start playing Lilith Fair side stage when it came to the Gorge when we were in high school. She's true to her roots.

Also (I'm going with more likely as opposed to "in a magical fantasy land"): Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap, Robyn, Lily Allen, Indigo Girls, Sarah McLachlan, Nellie McKay, Jewel, maybe a Belly reunion (please?), Emiliana Torrini, Martina Topley-Bird, Jill Sobule, and what the hell, I'll say Tiny Vipers.

April 27th: LF2010 sells out, declares best one-day sales ever, adds Sarah Haskins to lineup.

Brandi Carlile? How about the Be-Good Tanyas...but did they break up? I love Emily Barker and the Red Clay Halo - does anyone else know who that is? Or maybe Alice Smith? Leela James? or Freakwater as themselves or any of their solo incarnations? Or how about Edith Frost, or Jolie Holland? I'm going crazy thinking of this dream lineup.
