They’re like Biden, they can’t remember the songs and how to exit the stage. My WAG. 😜

I believe that the best Super Bowl halftime performance ever was ZZ Top.

We turn the TV off during half-time.
When I got to see the Super Bowl in person, Diana Ross showed up in a helicopter. She was past her peak, but was still a recognized name. I am glad I didn’t go when Usher or Snoop Doggy Dogg or whoever was there. Bad enough I had to see the Cowboys and Steelers. (Neil O’Donnell in a Super Bowl? How very Rex Grossman of them.)
When I was a kid the Super Bowl had groups like “Up With People”, now they go with edgy.
I think the Michael Jackson half-time show was such a draw, the NFL was hooked.

Rock bands do not play the Super Bowl because the NFL does not need to attract more dudes to watch the game, they all watch no matter who plays.

Didn’t Kiss play one time?

Only Rap is approved. Woke planners. Imagine someone suggesting having the Eagles or America as a half time show. They would be run out of town on a rail.

It’s a thug game for a thug audience.
To: nickcarraway
Informative link, that it makes it quite clear, I think. Especially when you bear in mind the demographics (rock fans tend older these days and are more likely watch the game regardless).
Simply put: the half-time show courts R&B/ hip-hop / pop, because that's where the market share is.
It just is what it is / good marketing sense.
I'd prefer a good rock artist myself, but I'm not going to fault someone running a commercial venture for choosing the widest audience.

but plenty of worthy candidates remain. Among those who’ve never played are Guns N’ Roses, Billy Joel, Foo Fighters, Elton John, Eagles, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi and Metallica.

I'm old enough to remember when marching bands did halftime at the Super Bowl.
Speaking of marching bands on football fields, "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac is very underrated.
