There is the famous Woodstock music festival from 1969: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock I did not attend this but I have seen documentaries about it. As far as why this might have been a great music festival here is Janis Joplin singing "Piece of My Heart": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vThD7ot9oII

Chicago also has an annual music festival called Lollapalooza which I have also never attended, but I hear is very good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lollapalooza

I can't disagree with YesNo, and others near the top include Monterrey Pop in 1967 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterey_Pop_Festival_%28set_list%29
This is a list of the top ten, but I disagree with much of the placement http://www.watchmojo.com/video/id/11914/
Then there was Newport in 1965; the Isle of Wight in 1969; and Big Sur that same year
This is another list.

After Monterrey Pop 1967 and Wood stock the rest are insignificant.

Are we talking about ones we've attended or just seen/heard?
