The other thing about Adele is that her music is a mix of blues and ballads....some of which, while great stuff, is depressing. And she does just basically sing.
That would have been like Bruce Springsteen doing a Super Bowl and playing only songs from Nebraska. They want more upbeat, energetic music/performances.
Bruno Mars was an almost perfect guy for the job.

Agree on Bruno... brought an energy even Coldplay could not kill...
Re: Your other reply... looks like you and I clicked the same google hit. I needed a little thought stimulation... ended up with a bunch of "Who?"
Which in retrospect should have made me think of The Who...
-
An 80's hair band tribute.
Poison
Motley Crüe
Ratt
Guns and Roses
-
1. Mack because Erving is the weakest link in the line.
2. Around 26th or so
3. Winning cures all
4. Don't watch the halftime show
5. Never gave away my soul to the dark side despite multiple opportunities (thank goodness my college roommate's murderer was just denied parole last month for another 5 years minimum).
-
The Who did the show a while back otherwise yeah, obviously.

Do you want to flesh that one out for us....or will the remembrance bring you closer to the darkside Anikan?

Yea, I am assuming that the SB committee would want someone who has not already done the show.
Of course, it they want to go back to doing aging Rock and Roll Hall of Famers who put on a great show, then, yes, they should get Alice Cooper up there. (but I still think he intimidates some people even after 45 or more years....and the SB team is likely a timid group that would not want his brand of theatrics)
How about Alice Cooper AND KISS together?
-
How about opening it up to bands of all time? Queen would probably be about as good as it gets.

Well, lets face, while Queen is in like my Top 5 favorite bands ever, since the death of Freddie Mercury, they have really just been a tribute band to themselves, bring in replacements like Paul Rogers, Adam Lambert, etc. So, I guess the powers that be see them no more relevant than bringing back some other "Classic" bands.
They could bring in Elton John and Billy Joel for a piano duel. those two have never performed.
Or do those Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd reunions.
And FYI, the next Super Bowl will be in Houston....so maybe a country theme would be in order. Garth Brooks, George Strait (is he still alive), Kenny Rogers, Reba
-
Well that's while I was going for all time. In the theme of these days' vanilla mainstream music, the beatles would be pretty great.

Please... not another McCartney-Starr "reunion"...

As Canton Mike can attest, Vietnam provided multiple opportunities for what I called "crossing the line". Some gave in to the stress of ongoing fear/anger and made some poor choices, e.g. My Lai. That kind of thing can steal your soul IMO. And the sociopath who murdered my roommate has never shown any remorse and should have been given the death penalty for premeditated murder. Instead he will get out at age 70 in 2025 unless paroled in 2021 which is his next hearing. For 8 years I chose not to employ old skills while I waited for cold case detectives to finally prove the obvious. Markings on a .45 reload that fit the die used by his later ex father in law finally got a plea bargain. The original detectives never followed up with that since he was killed with a .25 cal. The unfired reload was found under Mike's body when it inadvertently fell out of the killer's pocket.

So, when did this happen? And are you saying that your friend was killed by his father in law?

Kind of a whole new level of darkside there...
Glad you won, Ag, so you could eventually wind your way to us...

Gip-I did not properly word that. When the guy came under suspicion for murdering my friend Mike in 2000, his wife divorced him within a year or two. The cold case guys picked up on the evidence box and found the .45 reload which eventually led them back to the murderer's now ex-father in law who told the police he had given his son in law .45 reloads as a present well prior to the murder. That ex father in law still had the original reloading die which marks reload shells just as accurately as a rifle barrel marks a bullet. That led to the killer's plea bargain and imprisonment that started in 2007 and was finalized as 17 to life in 2008 with one year credit in the county jail before the plea deal was accepted. Good behavior led to his first parole hearing last month and he was denied with no more hearings until July 2021.
Tour-thanks for the kind words-believe me it was tempting to go after him, but I just remembered how easy it is to give away your soul if you don't guard it carefully. We all knew he did it, but we just could not prove it until the cold case guys figured it all out.

OK, so it was the killer's ex father in law who provided the evidence.....He was not the victim's ex in law. Right?
(well....a certain justice may prevail. A guy like that is a likely candidate to be shivved while in prison)

Right, not the victims ex in law. And once he got old enough they transferred him to an older inmates prison unit in east Texas so he is now less likely to be harmed. He was beaten a couple of times pretty badly in county jail while awaiting trial.

One Post From the Truth said:
No shit. Fuck the Beatles. Move on already.
One can never move on from the greatest of all time. That does not mean they should do the SB halftime show. McCartney already did the gig post the deaths of both John and George.

I still think that Cuntry music show would be a good one for this year's Houston Super Bowl. Unless you have a SB in Nashville there is probably no better venue for such a thing. After all, this was set in Houston:
But let me ask this: Is the NFL opposed to having a top country act for its halftime show, because a high percent of the players are young and black....who are not down with country, believing it is more of a white genre of music?

lol... remember seeing Urban Cowboy in the Parma theatre during a visit to my folks with my then wife.
Probably annoyed the other attendees with comments like, "There's the Deer Park, Shell refinery on 225", and other local knowledge comments.
Side story: A couple employees of Diamond Shamrock's Deer Park Works, where I worked, moonlighted as extras on the movie and can be seen in "Sissy's" mechanical bull scene. One of them, Ben something, who I knew from Rec Association sports, can be heard saying, "Look her nipples are hard," as she rolled around on Gilley's bull. Ben also had a couple "screen moments" in the dance scenes.
Anyway Ben struck up in a kind of friendship with Travolta, who told him to "come to Hollywood," which he did. Never heard of him again. But Ben was a real life, urban cowboy.
