The 4 Bills Super Bowls I went to I got to see New Kids On The Block, Gloria Estefan with people skating on fake ice, Michael Jackson (probably the first of the huge halftime shows) and a country music thing sponsored by a pickup truck.
Some of the "big name" acts recently have just been tired-looking has-beens (The Who, The Stones). U2, Tom Petty, and Springsteen were some of the best ever. Aerosmith & Paul McCartney were OK. Not that I'm a fan of dance music but it seems the dance artists (Madonna & Janet Jackson) just don't translate well to the Super Bowl.
