Half Time II

 Given the fact that the last few half time shows have skewed in the same direction, how about a list of other performers in other genres who should get a shot.  I'm open to suggestions.  FYI. I'm biased toward people who actually sing and play instruments.    This is my list of worthy performers, many of whom I don't particularly like, but still think could be good. 

Earth Wind and Fire

Garth Brooks

Brad Paisley

Taylor Swift

Bon Jovi

Def Leppard

Queen/Lambert

Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown

Gary Clark Jr

Styx

Sammy Hagar

The Eagles

Chris Stapleton

Foo Fighters

Green Day

Lionel Richie/Commodores

Cheap Trick

Little Big Town

Miranda Lambert

Carrie Underwood

Shania Twain

Kieth Urban

Some combination of Run/DMC, Sugarhill gang, and Grandmaster Flash.  

No Doubt/Gwen Stefani

Muse

Coldplay

Indeed. I share the same bias.

I read somewhere of desire that they go back to using local college or high school marching bands. I don't know if I'm prepared to endure that, though I've seen some really good ones over the years, but I get it.

Personally, I'd be fine with that. I suspect that the NFL's desire to monetize everything would pose a problem for that.

There's a chance that they'll pick a local band from the Bay Area to play next years halftime show.

I think they should have some bagpipe and drum bands!

To each their own. Probably not much in the way of ratings.

That could work if they do "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)

As long as there are SG's and Marshalls.
