I believe that the best Super Bowl halftime performance ever was ZZ Top.U2 in 2002. In the aftermath of 9/11, it was a very powerful performance.
The entire performance is excellent but fast forward to the 4:30 mark and find some onions to peel.

Marching bands should play.They used to. All the other networks loved it because everyone would change the channel and they could have their own halftime show.

Rock and Roll bands no longer play the Super Bowl because Rock music is no longer the culturally dominant genre of music among the vast majority of Super Bowl viewers.
Rap/Hip-Hop/R&B have taken over.

Ultimate Classic Rock is JUST NOW noticing? Garbage entertainment at the Super Bowl is now the norm.

Usher is the replacement for the first choice they were going to have. Lizzo.

Actually would prefer marching bands. And a rotation of singers belting out all the patriotic songs we knew and loved. Want to start a common culture again? Start here.
Nothing more boring than the caterwauling from a rock band or an overrated singer.

Are blacks the largest superbowl audience?

There are Orthodox Jewish SB halftime shows that aren’t pop star sluts. Not sure what is their point but hey, God bless Ammerica.

"Speaking of marching bands on football fields, "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac is very underrated." It's a very good song I'd remembered listening to as a kid, but had largely forgotten about for years, until it was used in the pilot episode of The Americans in 2013.
It really helped set the tone of the show as a late 70s/early 80s period piece, and was used to excellent effect to build the tension and the action. Now anytime I hear it, my mind associates it with that show.

Because there are no new rock bands anymore and the old ones are a bit past it.

Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys or FEAR would be a better option. You might just get an SNL-type moment with FEAR, lol.
My choice is Circle Jerks, they'd bring the house down.

They were good but I’d have to say Prince.
“Purple Rain “ in the rain gives chills.
