The Tuesday Top Ten: Top Ten Music Acts the Super Bowl Should’ve Had
February 9th, 2010
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Who. Back in the day, they were wild men and I love their music. But last Sunday’s Super Bowl Half Time show was not very Who-like. If you have 50% or less of your original bad members dead, I think it’s time to call yourself something else. Even Aerosmith and U2 at the Super Bowl were pretty played. Why can’t the geezers that run the Super Bowl pick someone like:
10: Lady Gaga
The only Lady Gaga I’ve heard is stuff they talked about on South Park. But she’s current and popular. Why not her? At least she’s hot.

9. Taylor Swift
Okay, so maybe Lady Gaga is a little too nuts and likely to flash more than her boob during the show, but Taylor Swift? You can’t get any more safe than her. Again, not my music, but she’s pretty cute.
8. T-Pain
T-pain was sort of in the Super Bowl anyway because of that Bud Light commercial. That right there shows you that marketing guys already know his appeal. Again, he’s very current, why not have him perform. It’s kinda slow for me, but who cares? It’s about the football anyway.
7. Britney Spears
Even Britney Spears is getting not so current, but again, think of the audience. It’s mostly guys. And Britney is back in shape.
6. Cage the Elephant
Now if you wanted to hire some guys to actually rock the house, you need young guys. Cage the Elephant fuckin’ rocks. They’ll probably ask these guys during the Super Bowl of 2048.
5. 50 Cent
They’ll probably never ask this guy to play the Super Bowl, but guess what? He is international in a big way.
4. Clutch
These guys rock and a Southern vibe doesn’t hurt either. Sounds like the music they’ll be playing during the commercial segs anyway.
3. Iggy and the Stooges
I saw Iggy and the Stooges on their last tour and let me tell you something, that old man can rock. This picture is from that recent tour. If you need someone who is old and still has it, Iggy is it. Amazing live show.
2. Rhianna
She’s smokin’ hot and she dates an athlete. C’mon.
1. T-Pain and Taylor Swift
Hey, there’s nothing safer than something that jumps the shark and gangsta rap is definitely there with this video. People would’ve laughed. Something for everyone. Think about it for next year Super Bowl.
