    That's always the situation with Super Bowls, they're trying to appeal to a huge range of ages and backgrounds. They usually end up picking someone that's pretty acceptable to all parties... I think Tom Petty pretty much nailed the job description. Well-known, songs are upbeat but not too crazy while not too boring.

    yeah i didnt really think about that but i guess im just not to big of a tom petty fan . so for someone who would fit that description that i think would have been better would be , well hell now that i though about it i cant reall think of anyone in the old school rock category but i would have minded seeing kenny chesney up there .

    The TS is obviously a fuccking idiot. Pantera?
    I'm not even a big fan of his but it's not suprising they picked him.
    Not tooooo bad either.
    Pantera, I can't get over that suggestion.
    Maybe it's because you're a 08?

    Rush would be good, but i dont think most people would agree.

    I'm thinkin of led zeppelin, but their stubborn asses would never play for halftime.

    Agreed.... most people these days who watch the super bowl:

    A.) Don't watch it for the football.

    B.) Think "souljer boy"(or whatever the f*ck it's called) is good music.

    p.s.- Rush would never do it anyway. They're not "that" kind of band.

    Why Pantera? Why not a band like Nirvana? Or maybe Elvis? Or Frank Sinatra?

    shiiiit, last yeasrs Prince Half Time show blew Tom Petty away. The Tom Petty show wasn't bad, but wasn't great either, but Prince... He's that dude..... C'mon now, Purple Rain.... performed while it was raining, you couldnt have scripted that any better!

    He was Tom Petty.

    but it didnt drive me enough for a half time "show"

    i would have needed to see someone younger with a bit more pep. it made the game seem to drag out

    Some people just don't know good music when they hear it. Just like YellowTibby said, the main people that don't like this think Soulja Boi is the best. Later, QD.
