Smiley Dear Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 How about the Eagles? Since hell had already frozen over, maybe the Bills will win it too!
Beebe's Kid Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I am glad that the posters here are about as far away from this decision as possible. That is purely based out of my personal dislike for the Foo-Fighters and the Goo-Goo-Dolls. The Who were a terrible pick. It was way past their bed times. I am a Who fan. It was almost sad to see that. I agree with the proposition of shortening the half-time.
billfan63 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 The Who sounded good for the Who but lets face it most young people probably didn't remember any of the songs they did unless they watch CSI. They weren't the primier supergroups of the time (Beatles, Stones, LZ, Hendrix) but indeed had a following because of the success of Tommy the rock opera.So why not dredge up Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd or the Police. Some one that actually kicked some butt back in the day. Some suggestions for next year. Frankie Avalon Bobby Rydell Freddie and the Dreamers The Zombies Hermans Hermits Tommy James and the Shondells 1910 Fruitgum Company The Grass Roots or last but not least the Dave Clark 5, 4, 3 ,2 , or 1 Where in the hell is Tiny Tim when you need him. Just get Rod Stewart to do a cover of each one of your stellar lineup
Just Jack Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Who gets the broadcast next year? Cause if it's Fox, I'm betting an American Idol group.
Peter Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I love the Who. FWIW - a friend of mine who was at the game told me that the sound was much better at the stadium than we he played it on his DVR when he got home.
nobody Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I thought Carrie Underwood was having an audition for next year by singing the national anthem.
Chandler#81 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I love the Who. FWIW - a friend of mine who was at the game told me that the sound was much better at the stadium than we he played it on his DVR when he got home. Sounded much better in headphones as well. As for next year, since we're on the advent of 3D and holographics, I say we keep with the codger aspect and bring dead singers back. Elvis, Lennon, Morrison, Sinatra all do a number, then Jimmy finishing it with the Star Spangled Banner.
BB2004 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Remaining members of the Dead - book it I am all for this and would love for it to happen. I would go if that were the case, even if Buffalo was not in the super bowl.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 Some good suggestions here. The Eagles would fit the "legend" requirement. Plus they crossover to country fans, and they aren't too old to play. The suggestion about Fox & American Idol is scary yet possible. As popular as Lady Gaga is she probably scares the crap out of the NFL. While were are talking about the Foo Fighters, how about Them Crooked Vultures too? PTR
Mike in Syracuse Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I find it hysterical that people have a problem with The Who because they're fossils and no longer relevant. Yet, if you dare blast the absurdly outdated "Shout" the Bills geezers go nuts!

DrFishfinder Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 How about we do away with the half time sham. I don't want to listen to ANY band do a loop of 30 second sound bites of their "Greatest Hits". For crying out loud....what a complete shill.
May Day 10 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Pearl Jam Neil Young AC/DC was a good suggestion.
jcbuck3 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Creedance Clearwater Revival w/ special guest appearance by Tina Turner
CodeMonkey Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 My wife and I thought their voices sounded horrible, and my wife also commented on how old they looked. My only answer to that was ... they are! I wonder if the reason they keep getting these fossil bands is because the NFL audience in general is more older than younger? Even most of the commercials seemed to be aimed at an older (i.e. > 30) audience.
Ice Cold Bruschi Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I think the White Stripes would be a great halftime show, they're modern, popular, and have a classic rock sound
Marv's Neighbor Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 It's all about demographics. WHO has the money? WHO can afford to attend a Super Bowl Game? If the Stadium was not packed, what kind of message would that send regarding the popularity of the game? Until that changes we're stuck with the WHO etc. I though the Half Time Show was a joke. The sets were superior but the WHO???? Better they had performed behind a wall or curtain because looking at them was absolutely laughable. The only thing that was missing was a "wardrobe" failure!
Heels20X6 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 AC/DC would be a great choice for the show. They're old and somewhat non-threatening, so they fit the NFL criteria and having just seem them last November, those geezers still rock out with their roosters out. Would actually make for a very, very HIGH energy half-time show. Except Hells Bells would be off the set list...and maybe Whole Lotta Rosie.
