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.
If only there was a thumbs up button!
