Realistically, what band is good enough but also big enough to actually put on a good halftime show?

We just lost Petty. The Stones are like 90. Zep reunion is a pipe dream.

Maybe Pearl Jam? Beck? 

I am hoping for Nickelback.

Every time my Dad tells stories about the good old days he said Jets tickets cost a nickel back then. Which makes me want my nickel back lol.

See if Ozzy and Iommi want to reunite Sabbath again for one more show? AC/DC with Axl? Iron Maiden? Blue Oyster Cult?

As for a more modern band, I'd totally be into an Avenged Sevenfold show. And Shaman's Harvest is f*cking great, but I don't think they have enough recognition.

I have a terrible confession to make. Back in middle school I briefly had gotten into listening to Nickelback (not my proudest moment, but I doubt many people are proud of their middle school days). I also had this Led Zeppelin hoodie (that I still wear proudly to this day!) There was this kid sporting an Avenged Sevenfold shirt who noticed my Zep, and he asked me who my favorite band was. With absolutely no sense of irony or hesitation, I looked him straight in the face and said, "Nickelback".

I can still remember the look on his face. He never spoke to me again after that.

:D

Pearl Jam wouldn't be caught dead there.

Guns N’ Roses is back together and selling out everywhere. The Killers would be awesome and have new music out.

Foo Fighters would rock.  And actually perform live, not canned.
