OT Best Super Bowl Halftime Show Ever?

[wizenheimer]

I'd imagine there are online polls every year for the best SB halftime show, but S2 needs to speak before anything is settled

my vote, and granted my memory could be foggy as it gets more foggy every year, and also I don't think I've watched one since Janet Jackson't boob...

1997...and this is how I remember it: the performers were The Blues Brothers, with Ackroyd and Belushi; James Brown; and ZZ top. And for the grand finale, they had all the 'bands' and stars performing on-stage together. meanwhile, a pack of about 300 gals in cheerleader bikinis were circling the stage in one direction, shaking their...pom poms, while a big posse of hairy guys on chrome covered Harley's circled the whole shitshiree in the other direction. Overhead there was fireworks, and that's while strobe lights were blasting reflections from the chrome. I couldn't believe my eyes

I remember talking about the show the next day with a guy at work and saying "no wonder why terrorists want to saw out heads off"

prince is up there for me but, without looking aT the list and not remembering some, i think Paul McCartney is a Dark horse to top my list.

Prince is number 1

Then you got Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, U2, MoTown's 40th, Blues Bros, Aerosmith, Kiss...

Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction will always be remembered

And Beyonce causing a blackout and a delay of the second half with all the players chilling on the field

I enjoyed Aerosmith.
I also like the MoTown with Smokey and others

Prince in the pouring rain. Truly epic performance.

@HomerLovesKoolAid has all of the Up With People halftime performances record on betamax. He's probably watching them right now.

Yes, Prince singing Purple Rain in the rain...it doesn't get better than that

Bruno Mars was surprisingly fun. Prince of course too.

Mars was fun, but not one of the best

Not sure why Metallica has never been selected to do a Super Bowl halftime show? Seems like they could be a pretty easy choice. Same might be said for GNR.
