Which acts for superbowl half-time?

[sammyg2]

One of my favorite posters asked this question:

So who else could the NFL hire for half time? I cant think of anyone. The bands that I love that play live, would never fly on such a mainstream production....

So here's your chance. List of acts you'd like to see.
If they're dead it doesn't count cause they wouldn't show up. If the act has broken up but there's a reasonable chance they possibly could do a reunion thing, it counts (Bono's a duece but he counts if you want).
Maybe we can come up with a pelican list and fire it off to the dolts who employ Keith Olberman and pick next-year's performers?

Why do we need half time shows on TV? Just replace the show with more creative advertising, like they sprinkle in all game long.

I kind of think it needs to be an American band, but there are so few who would appeal to the several generations of folks who watch the game.

Maybe:

Aerosmith
Van Halen
Guns N Roses
Cheap Trick

How about Wayne Newton? I saw him in DC once and it was super.

Bon Jovi

or basically any good 80's rock...I think at this point that would have the broadest appeal

[targa911S]

I say none. It's always a bust.

Has Bob Seeger had a crack at it yet?

[sammyg2]

Oh yeah, Bob Seger. Good call. I've never seen him live but like his music.
George Thoroughgood's name just popped into my head. prolly not a big enough star ........

John Mayer playing SRV material with Double Trouble.

[rammstein]

Gwar

[VincentVega]

That's a good one

I'd rather see a contest, a marching band or have the cheerleaders do something. It's halftime, that's when I refill the beer, tend to the food and sneak to the John.

Do an X-Games style exhibition or something, the music always sucks.

[rammstein]

Ooooh- I have one- they could have a big contest where we guess which players will get arrested for what crimes in the coming year. Then the following year, the person with the most accurate arrest records wins the grand prize of a new Hybrid Escalade.
