U2
SI.com ranked U2's 2002 performance as the best halftime show in Super Bowl history.

In 2005, McCartney was considered a "safe" choice the year after Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction."

Most critics loved Bruce’s 2009 performance, saying he delivered on his promise of a "12-minute party."
-
Tom Petty
Some critics said Petty's 2008 performance was a little "soft," but you can't deny his "American" appeal.

The NFL and Madonna have yet to confirm the report, but the timing makes sense. Madge has an album slated to come out early next year, and she is currently auditioning dancers for a world tour, USA Today reports.
The Super Bowl could use such a reliable entertainer. Last year, The Black Eyed Peas were slammed for their less than stellar performance, including the much-mocked Slash-Fergie duet on "Sweet Child O' Mine." And Janet Jackson's 2004 wardrobe malfunction is still lingering in everyone's collective memory (let's hope Madonna's wearing a nipple shield).
But there have been some amazing Super Bowl performances in recent years from the most legendary musicians of our time, including the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, The Who and even Michael Jackson way back in 1993. Click through our slideshow and let us know: Who is the most awesome Super Bowl performer ever?

Madonna's a great choice & I can't wait to see her.
they are both getting stronger the world need to know them (1 999 0) reagan lived through movies 32 tree of life lennon died through music 23 tree of death someone out of chicago and Illinois will get to tell the truth In 2012.
You will see
One side "ANGELS" AND other side "DEMONS OF THE ABYSS" choose humanity he will.
PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE!!!
Paul is 1,000,000% better than all of those people put together. If it was not for Paul, Michael Jackson wouldn't be nearly as popular. Before Michael's death most people were hating him. Now everybody loves him. He would have been the least popular choice when he was living. The Rolling Stones as last, they are a great band better than the others besides Paul.
( Stone fans don't get me wrong I like the band but I prefer Paul)
Why did you vote for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band before Paul. Who are those people anyways? Why did you say U2 and The Who are better than Paul McCartney who is a legend.
Bring us VAN HALEN with David Lee Roth!!
yuck.
