Van Halen.

Lots of good ideas and good bands in this thread. No slight to any of them, but Van Halen is squarely in the middle of the NFL demo. The timing is perfect. The new album is fantastic.

You've got Eddie, the best guitarist of his generation, Alex, an underrated (unless you play music and know better) drummer. Oh, and he's Eddies brother...AND Eddie's kid on bass for kicks. And then, love him or hate him, you have probably the best front man in music who's name isn't Mick.

We all have our favorites. I would LOVE to see Huey Lewis get the call, for example. I would really dig Metallica. KISS would be fun no doubt. Hell, how about ZZ TOP?

Just like any of you, I can come up with 30 bands / artists that would work, that would put on a great show, and that deserve being able to place "Super Bowl" halftime on their resume.

But as a Van Halen fan I admit, I can't see anything else or anyone else as more appropriate for the next Super Bowl.

Is that dude the Lead singer from Loverboy's brother? First cousin maybe? LOL

I have a feeling it will be Katy Perry headlining and a cross-section of cameo performers. And at least she does look a bit like Zooey.

Blasphemer! But at least you said she looks like Zooey and not that Zooey looks like her. Katy Perry is a hack.

Sit Otto sit!!!

Calm down, he was probably just confused by soft focus lenses and/or odd lighting and probably a few cold ones into the evening.

No need to sick 'em, yet. Everyone gets at least one strike.

I know Danno, you're right. I apologize to the group. Sometimes I'm a little over-protective.
