And I just did an informal survey of people when I ran next door to McDonald's for lunch.
Of 5 who ranged in age from their 20s to their 50s 4 heard of the Pretenders, 1 had not. 2 heard of Green Day, 3 had not. 3 of the people knew Chrissie Hynde. Not one person could name any members of Green Day.
For what that's worth.

Johnny Cash... too bad he's dead. that would have been an interesting half time show.
-
I caught you knocking on my cellar door, I love you baby can I have some more....
It's so noisy at the fair, but all your friends are there....
Man I haven't been listening to Neil Young much lately, but this topic has got me wanting to get back into his music.

I have to admit that this discussion has been interesting and entertaining... possibly more entertaining than Madonna's half-time show. I'm with Gipper on this one even though I'm older than he is AND I know and like Green Day.
The Super Bowl halftime show isn't really about music. It's about spectacle and making the people who paid an obscene amount for their tickets think they've gotten their money's worth.
I like Madonna and think she's a helluva gal for 53 years old. I think she's a helluva gal for any age. She put on a glitzy show and even threw in marching bands and cheerleaders. Just the ticket for football game entertainment. Since I have yet to hear from anyone who was actually AT the game, I'm assuming we all watched from the comfort of our chairs on televisions of varying quality and didn't pay more than our basic cable/satellite bills for the privilege. So what's the beef? Didn't have a good enough reason to avoid conversation with your party guests? Didn't have to hold it instead of making a trip to the facilities? Had to listen to a girl singer while you loped into the kitchen to retrieve a beverage? How silly.
I'm almost rooting for a Green Day halftime show just to hear the aftermath.

Where's a "like" button when you need one?

Well, they aren't "top hat" to you... and you are extrapolating that to all of America, which isn't true. I don't like Green Day that much, not my style of music (only "punk" I've ever listened to was my very first CD, Blink 182) but I know who they are.
Every time they try to gear a show to us young people though something goes wrong... so that's not a good sign.
whoa... Blink 182? Punk? huh?

Exactly

Thanks. The Needle and the Damage Done, to me, is haunting. Sugar Mountain is just a good song.

Yes. Coldplay is more well known and probably with bigger hits.
Give a little thanks to Gwyneth.
You know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.
You know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.
I wouldn't know anything about that. Why would liking Coldplay make me "gay"?
Like I said, yes, I am somewhat out of touch with current music for the most part. But I know if I like something if I hear it. And I have heard a couple or 3 songs by Coldplay that were catchy. I am by no means a devotee.
I am a devotee of Queen. Their lead singer was gay. Does that make me gay?
I like Elton John. He is gay. Does that make me gay?
I like Adam Lambert. He is gay. Does that make me gay?

every halftime show i've ever seen has sucked big time except the who. they actually played dead on and live unlike every little hip hop rap shite that lip syncs their live shows and these flippin gullible fans go to see them pose on stage with background music (including vocal tracks) and call it a concert. hey junior just cuz the guy has a live mic doesn't mean he's not singing along with and overtop his own vocals that he did in-studio. just cuz the guy can go yo yo let's hear some noise doesn't mean the whole thing is fake.
green day WAS punk before they turned soft and commercial.blink 182 punk? laughable. try the stooges, ramones, the voidoids, television and cleveland's own the electric eels and my fave the stranglers out of england besides obviously the clash and the sex pistols.
anyways back to this year's show. i don't know about you but i'd still frak the shart outta that MILF.

You shoulda stopped before Adam Lambert.
However there are only two things that make a guy gay:
1. Having sex with another man.
2. Liking soccer more than football
Zombo
agreed. except maybe liking soccer. If someone likes soccer 1/10 as much as football, they're gay.
