Why couldn't this be the half-time show in SB ?

You and ONLY the parents of the kids playing. The game itself is usually bad enough I am not watching a bunch of overweight kids wearing unnecessary gear play flag football

Honestly they could loop the clip of 6'3" 250 lb, 12 year old Andy Reid in the PPK competition and at least make it comical.

You're severely underrating those 4 classic bands. The only one I would add to that is that mainstream metal group with the female vocalist. You know the one, they had that song. Shit I can't think of it right now......

I'm not intentionally underrating them at all. Their singers can't perform live anymore, and I've paid to see Kiss and Def Lep recently (as well as DLR in Van Halen twice since their reunion). I'm thinking in terms of quality of the show; you'd need them to lip-sync basically, unless they could get their voices to hold out for a couple songs before blowing out.

Other than Poison of course. They flat out suck. :suds:

I kind of agree. I still like Zeppelin. They were my first concert. 1971. Sort of like Deep Purple for a spell.

But I was happier with Allman Brothers or Little Feat.

The late 70's and early 80's would have been dead to me but for New Wave/Punk. Clash, Costello, Talking Heads, etc

Disco, country and rap/hip hop are the no play zones for me.

That and screechy half stripper girlie shit. At least they haven't gone and gotten Taylor fucking Swift for halftime. That would put the doomsday clock to 1 second before midnight...

A band that hasn't gotten their just dues: Rival Sons. Highly recommended for classic rock fans (and not straight up imitators like Greta Van Fleet).

Actually, that would be cooler than the crap they roll out year after year. I can remember as a kid during minor hockey week up here, we got to go out and play a 5 minute game between periods of the local team's game. As a 7 or 8 year old, playing in front of a full arena, we thought we were awesome. A kid getting to play in front of a SB crowd would enjoy that memory for life.

Bad News Bears flashbacks, lol. LET THEM PLAY! LET THEM PLAY!

So you relate to Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga?

At least they were current. Shakira and JLo are were brief hits more than a decade ago, to the level of neither Swift or Gaga.

Hint:
The Superbowl is in Miami.

Any that are big enough to do SB halftime show?

As big as Travis Scott or Big Boi last year? Sure.

Jason DeRulo, Flo-Rida, Gloria Estefan (performed in '99), Pitbull, etc.

It hasn't been local acts (or even acts related to the style of the hosting city) very often though. Maroon 5 was the headliner last year in Atlanta (from LA). Timberlake (Tennessee) was the year prior in Minneaopolis. Gaga (NY) was two years ago in Houston.

Maybe it's best if we just don't give a shit.
