I have probably only seen half the Super Bowls since its inception. It does seem to have gotten to be more sizzle than steak over the years but there have been some very exciting games and decent halftime shows.
Wondering what folks were thinking for a best/worst halftime show ever?
Best:
Paul McCartney
Prince
Tom Petty
Worst:
Maddonna
The Who
Bruce Springsteen
How is Springsteen on the worst list?
I donāt know. I thought it was gratuitous at the time. Flame away if you need, but, I never got the hype about Bruce.
Nice guy/Excellent writter & musician. I just never appreciated his stage presence.
I would also include the Stones and the Who. Maybe Iām just constipated and crankyā¦
Are we talking favorite artist or best show? Because Iām not a Katy Perry or Bruno Mars fan but their half time shows were really good. On the flip side I like the Stones and Bruce Springsteen but their halftime shows both sucked.
Prince on the other hand, I like and his show was awesome, so Iām giving my vote to Prince as the best.
Prince is a nearly unanimous #1.
I guess high energy and creativity arenāt for everyone.
Trans slap gus? Transmission clap bust? Baby I was born not to run?
Springsteen sucks. Total non talent.
Ideas like this are a good litmus test to discern who doesnāt really understand music.
Some people think they like music, but it turns out they donāt even āgetā music. Itās like the guy who thinks he likes steak but always orders it medium well. That dude doesnāt even know what steak is.
I think all SB halftime shows have been barely ok at best, regardless as to who the entertainer is. Might as well have an attractive, half-dressed woman jump around and shake it, and then get back to the game.
McCartney on any ābestā list negates any following opinion. McCartney is a no talent assclown. He should be in prison.
How much time does one get for ass-clownery?
I think he has talent. But Iām not in the āBruce is Godā club. Coming from the East Coast, Iām aware of how unpopular it is to question anything about Bruce. Ever.
But I was a Yankees fan in Boston, soā¦
Whatās with that song-ending-for-an-hour-outro schtick though?
Not super creative
I entirely agree.
The half time show should be marching bands.
Thatās what it used to be.
I do like the modern approach more. I donāt have a problem with it all. I just thought Iād start a thread for fun to see what people are passionate about.
Yeah, USC Band plating Tusk!
Life.
Paul McCartneyās never going to die. His hair is all natural and itās fabulous.
There was a halftime show??? Wait!!! There was a game, too???
All I saw was a documentary on Amazon Prime. 
Ok, no Raidersā¦no watchie!!! I will say the buffalo wings turned out awesome, and the cheesy twice-baked potatoes hit the spot, too.
Who says you canāt at least have a great meal before watching something other than the game.
