but I just don't see where the devotion comes from. Everyone raves about Angel Dust, but apart from Be Aggressive none of the songs are really that good, I don't even think Midlife Crisis deserves the ratings it gets.
I don't feel they have a sufficiently large catalogue of good songs that a large crowd would want to see, hence they shouldn't be headlining.

but there are many thousands of people who would disagree with me, just as there are thousands who would disagree with you about FNM. Saying that a band aren't good enough to headline is a redundant notion unless they haven't shifted any units, which FNM obviously did.
The Smashing Pumpkins headling Reading a few years back, that absolutely gobsmacked me. Up until that point I genuinely didn't realise they had such a following because they were so eye-wateringly awful. But then, the only time I went to Reading Suede were headlining.

Also, Smashing Pumpkins headling something falls into the FNM situation. They simply shouldn't have been headling.

You should be allowed to decide who headlines every festival according to your personal opinion, regardless of fan base or record sales?

I'd like a 'no shit music' policy at all festivals. Decided on by me.

when there's only one person in attendance, and he doesn't have any beer money?

I'm not subbing his beer consumption though.
