The Who will perform at the Super Bowl This makes 6 straight tired old bands/performers dug up by Don Mischer Productions to play the halftime show since Boob-Gate.

Paul McCartney

The Rolling Stones

Prince

Tom Petty

Bruce Springsteen

The Who

There hasn't been a good halftime show since U2 performed in 2002 with their 9/11 tribute. I might be more entertained if they went back to the day when the Disney Band and Dancers performed "Up With People" (4 times).

Hopefully the game will be good.

I was annoyed by this last year when I had to watch Springsteen's fossilized crotch sliding across the stage into the camera.

Thinking it over, though, it isn't the easiest thing in the world to come up with a modern band with enough clean songs and potential broad appeal that fits the halftime show better. The best idea I could come up with was The Strokes, because they were supposed to have an album due this winter that it would make sense to promote.

As much as I hate the Denny's Early Bird Special Geriatric Halftime Show... I can see why they keep scheduling it that way. Also, this year's game is on CBS, and half their shows use songs by The Who as their theme music.

I can let it slide for one more year if the entire band puts on or takes off sunglasses when they start playing "Won't Get Fooled Again".

If you want to go old school, why not Journey? At least some of their music is recently relevant with the youth of today. When I saw The Who advertised today, I almost spit pumpkin pie up my nose. Sponsored by Viagra, Ensure, Depends??

[UNTflyer]

Another thing about Don Mischer's halftime shows... none of the performers finish a song. You get 30 second clips of 15 different songs. It's like being in the passenger seat while my wife if driving.

[greenminer]

I liked Tom Petty's.

Can't wait to see The Who. I prefer them taking gambles on these older bands than watch through the newer crap that is swinging through the Idol shows.

[Rudy]

Journey would be good. They dont have Steve Perry, but the replacement is really good. I would love to see 3 Doors Down perform.

Prince wasn't too bad regarding his performance. Still, there hasn't been a good half time performance for the Superbowl in a long, long time.

[Cerebus]

I'm going to think outside the box, let me throw a name out there:

Slayer.

Talk amongst yourselves.

[LongJim]

The Prince show was one of the best shows ever.

If you're going to have Slayer, then you need to have Motorhead, as well.

[SUMG]

I vote for REM.

Hey, who the hell is Daughtry? Are they some new popular group? They performed at the half of the Cowboys game. I wasn't impressed.

I wouldn't call them new as they just put out a second album this past summer. They are an alternative rock band.

I third the vote for R.E.M. Heck, they can throw the B-52's out there as well...but I'd hate to see what Kate Pierson's face looks like now.

Please, no heavy metal. What percent of America goes for that?

[Green Mean]

R.E.M, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Pearl Jam would be great choices for the halftime show I think. It would be a bold choice but why not consider Metallica? I think Jay Z and Beyonce have would both be good halftime performers and cater to a wide audience.

[eulessismore]

Willie Nelson and whoever shows up to sing a duet with him. Loved by rednecks, hippies, and gen x.

[KRAM1]

Willie Nelson and some of his friends (young and old)...that would be a great show!

[Censored by Laurie]

White Stripes and the Black Keys.

I'd actually prefer they play the game at halftime and let those 2 bands go at it for four quarters.

[UNT_playmaker]

I think REM, Willie Nelson, and Jay-Z and Alicia Keys all sound nice.

The best performance ever by an entertainer at a Super Bowl Halftime Show will forever belong to this person

The overarching theme of this thread, "I'm so sick and tired of these safe/old bands playing the Halftime Show. Lets replace them with some different tired/safe bands that I've got on my Ipod!!" Great Ideas!

I'm actually perfectly content with a halftime set of Teenage Wastland, Fooled Again, Wizzard, and a Happy Jack finale. Look... halftime shows suck, its what they do. Get up, drink a couple beers, eat something, go to the restroom, or smoke a cigarette if you're so inclined.... Why are you people watching halftime shows?!!??

Good Question, I have never watched one yet. Only what is shown as highlights on the news.

They were at ACL this year.

Sounded great, looked... not so great.

I'm mainly suggesting it so it drives away the hippies.

Hippies hate Slayer.
