When Cameron Crowe released Vanilla Sky a few years ago, it was critically derided as an over-indulgent, confusing mess -- mostly because that's exactly what it was. The problems were myriad, but it was mostly derailed because it seemed as though Crowe was conscientiously attempting to make a "weird" movie.

As SPIN.com's army of college correspondents made clear over the weekend, the 2006 version of Lollapalooza was all kinds of fantastic, featuring one of the last performances of Sleater-Kinney, a rare all-hands-on-deck set from Broken Social Scene, and definitive shows care of Queens of the Stone Age, My Morning Jacket, and Panic!

There's no question that this weekend's Lollapalooza has a lineup full of studs, including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Queens of the Stone Age, Kanye West, and Wilco, but how will it stand up against the festival's storied and controversial history? We won't know until the dust settles on Sunday night, but can this year's line-up crack the all-time top 3?

As a white guy who shaves his head and occasionally breaks into embarrassing dance moves, there are a couple of guys who act as my inspirations. R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe is an obvious one (dig his spasms in the "Losing My Religion" video). Moby is another. Thom Yorke should really shave his head to join their ranks.
