We’ll have to wait for the next official lineup announcement from Fuji Rock promoter Smash to see if the rumours are true.  In the meantime, up your anticipation level by checking out Roxy Music’s inclusion in Rolling Stone’s 2004 list of “The Greatest Artists of All Time.”

The initial set of acts for Fuji 2010 have been announced. Any bets on who gets top billing?
