- Entheoddity, on 01/31/2008, -7/+92Who the ***** gets saddened by Tom Petty?
- lpmiller, on 01/31/2008, -4/+58yes, what about Prince? What about performing one of the most shredding guitar solos in the history of superbowls? When the Foo Fighters say he played their song better then the Foos ever did, it's time to realize that like his music or like the man or not, but he is one hell of a guitar player.
- Sail3, on 08/04/2009, -4/+39"This year's show will feature Tom Petty, Paula Abdul and hopefully a few other things that were cool in the early '90s and now make us sad."
***** you, Tom Petty rocks! - ScottyWH, on 01/31/2008, -4/+33Tom Petty is forever amazing... listening to him right now actually...
Whoever wrote that instantly lost enough credibility with me that I didn't even read the article. - WoundedCow, on 01/31/2008, -1/+24Less singing and dancing and more boob would make for a better half-time show....I'm just sayin'
- FaceCage, on 01/31/2008, -2/+23Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Petty is an American Hero. I'd list a few of his greatest songs, but I just don't have the space, or the time. In fact I'm late for my urinalysis. But Seriously, these guys from cracked are probably a bit too busy listening to Nickleback sing about a f'n novel.
- lpmiller, on 01/31/2008, -6/+26You suck at music appreciation.
- NeoCortex, on 01/31/2008, -1/+20The N-sync one was the worst for me. They billed them along with Aerosmith and Britney Spears. I actually like Aerosmith, but seeing them share a stage with N-Sync and Britney was just painful to watch, it was so atrocious.
Oh, and I was surprised to see no mention of the Janet Jackson and Justing Timberlake show. - twollamalove, on 01/31/2008, -0/+18he'd make a plan and he'd follow through dammit; THAT's what Brian Boitano'd do!
- ApokalypseNow, on 01/31/2008, -3/+19I, too, wonder why anyone would watch American Idol.
- PaperMonkey, on 01/31/2008, -0/+15So next time make sure he uses more lube..
- Tinu, on 01/31/2008, -1/+16I keep trying to believe that there is nothing wrong with Paula Abdul. But then I watch American Idol and wonder why.
- thelostemperor, on 01/31/2008, -5/+19Anyone insecure enough to get all homophobic about Prince never deserved to feel 'like a man' in the first place.
- sgiffy, on 01/31/2008, -3/+17His guitar penis made me uncomfortable.
- Kronos6948, on 01/31/2008, -6/+18Because Prince got up there and kicked ass in the rain, while playing electrical equipment. The man has talent, compared to the rest on that list, and he's porked more women than you can imagine.
- BingoPower, on 01/31/2008, -0/+12Agreed with ScottyWH on thsi one. Was about to click, saw that Tom Petty was considered "not in" and realised the reviewer was retarded so saved some time.
Loved Petty in the Wilburys. - tehnico, on 01/31/2008, -3/+14I don't know why people are bitch'n about Prince. His show was one of the best in recent history. Awesome songs, got the funk, got the classics. It ***** rocked, that and say what you want about his supposed feminism, you know acting as smooth as he does he's getting all the pussy thrown at him.
- ApokalypseNow, on 01/31/2008, -0/+11Just because there is nothing new on is no excuse to willingly subject one's self to "reality TV".
- ahhell, on 01/31/2008, -1/+12How much does Mr(cry)babyman get paid by Cracked? That's what I want to know.
- aaronm67, on 01/31/2008, -0/+10I wont Back down?
Into the Great wide open?
Are we naming great Tom Petty songs with poor capitalization followed by a question mark? - ShooterMcGavin, on 01/31/2008, -0/+10While we're at it, can we throw Ashlee Simpson under the bus again? I know it was the Orange Bowl, but in the pantheon of horrible half time shows, this has got to be the absolute worst.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUli8vf3Bjw - mrjah, on 01/31/2008, -1/+11Amazingly, Super Bowl XXVI (Redskins over Bills) made #3 AND #1, and it's not an error.
Thank God there was an In Living Color halftime show that year. It saved me from vomiting my Crystal Pepsi everywhere. - ShooterMcGavin, on 01/31/2008, -0/+9I'm sorry... this list is null and void without the worst all time half time performers...
Three little words: Up With People.
If you are too young to remember those abominations in the 80's please consider yourself lucky.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_with_People - scottique, on 01/31/2008, -0/+9In my tiny little RSS aggregator, that picture of Phil Collins with the bald head, red neck, and white shirt? It looked exactly like Pope Ratzinger. And I'm going, "When the hell has the Pope done the Superbowl!?"
- newyawker, on 01/31/2008, -0/+9Too bad America can't handle that. If America sees a boob by mistake, we enter a national crisis.
- ApokalypseNow, on 01/31/2008, -1/+10...Because when I think football, oh yeah, I think Sting, Phil Collins, and Diana Ross.
- charlesray, on 01/31/2008, -5/+14If you honestly think that Tom Petty is a bad choice for the Super Bowl, please go jump off a cliff.
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -1/+9I don't understand why Crystal Pepsi flopped. I thought it was damn good.
- toxicityj, on 01/31/2008, -0/+8in the words of me, i dont know. i forgot to type "would" between "botaino" and "do". I fail.
- L0t3k, on 01/31/2008, -0/+8Welcome to the nation of prudes. We can show someone being embalmed alive using floor cleaner, on regular TV, during dinner (last night)... but a nipple slips for a fraction of 1 second and it's Armageddon.
I'm about as conservative a guy as you'll find in the real world... but *****, even I can say we need to get our priorities squared away. - ooMissioNoo, on 01/31/2008, -0/+7whats not football about figure skating!?
- BingoPower, on 01/31/2008, -0/+7See, this is what I take exception to. Good musicians are timeless. They are not 80s, they are not 90s. There are very few musicians that qualify for timeless, and in my opinion these would be guys like Petty, Clapton, Knopfler, even Bon Jovi (he does some excellent stuff).
Right now, I can think of very very few "new" bands (aside from quite a bit of country, but that's just me) that are any good.
Flame away :) - L0t3k, on 01/31/2008, -0/+7I have no complaints about Tom Petty, but I have to agree that most of the halftime shows are simply stupid choices for the jock-a-thon extravaganza we call The Superbowl. And seriously... is there such a thing as a Paula Abdul "fan"? Really?
- tyme, on 01/31/2008, -0/+7It's the drugs, obviously.
- exomni, on 01/31/2008, -1/+7Tom Petty is awesome, and if Paula Abdul shows us her tit it will be one of the best Superbowl Half-times yet.
- Gizmort, on 01/31/2008, -1/+7I am a huge football fan, but the SuperBowl is pretty much unwatchable.
- weezcnr, on 01/31/2008, -3/+9Phil Collins
- Porkgod, on 01/31/2008, -0/+6Everyone needs a break from death and other bad news every now and again. Just because people are talking about something else doesn't mean they don't care.
- bennovw, on 01/31/2008, -1/+6""I think the point is being missed here. The halftime show is not for football fans or those even close to that demographic. The halftime show is designed to give some relief to the average housewife or gay brother-in-law who is about to slit their wrists from watching two hours of something that doesn't interest them in the least. If you like football you're already happily watching their channel. The halftime show is designed to attract the polar opposite of a football fan.""
- ronaldinho, on 01/31/2008, -3/+8Are you kidding? That was one of the best ever, though it "unintentionally" became the best......you got to hand it to Timberlake though, he's not as bad as I thought he would be overall. He's better than Britney in her prime
- ApokalypseNow, on 01/31/2008, -0/+5Next year's superbowl, I vote we just skip the halftime show, and just leave the field empty for a while.
"...and its halftime here at SuperBowl XXXIIVDC, and we'll be going over the highlights of the first half. Also, more commercials featuring scantily-clad women selling beer."
You know what? Nevermind. Just hire some strippers to go out on the field and do their thing. Now THERE'S a halftime show. - Ndiggnation, on 01/31/2008, -0/+5He's probably porked more guys than I ever want to imagine as well..
- xXGeechXx, on 01/31/2008, -0/+5Paula Abdul?
I thought her singing career was ancient history and her sole reason for fame has to do with judging a certian singing competition - rnreekez, on 01/31/2008, -1/+6Prince is not human. Did you catch his guitar solo during "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the induction of George Harrison? Absolutely amazing. After I watched that I became a Prince fan.
- nbcaffeine, on 01/31/2008, -1/+6Peter Griffin: Gentlemen, I give you Crystal Pepsi. All the great taste of regular Pepsi, but without that troublesome opacity. Well, what if you're drinking a regular Pepsi, and somebody's coming at you with a knife, huh? You won't be able to see him past your Pepsi. And-and-and then, and then, who's dead, huh? You! You! You're dead! Stabbed! Crystal Pepsi.
- drakenlot, on 01/31/2008, -2/+7Too bad cracked.com never had credibility.
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -0/+4Only if she's in her Jessica Rabbit outfit.
- getisboy, on 01/31/2008, -1/+5the police rule
- Peko, on 01/31/2008, -0/+4I think the formula is: Be a part of one of the most if not *the* most influential rock pop bands ever. Follow up my a half decent but pales in comparison solo career, then wait 25 years of "what has this guy done lately" then pow! you're up.
So, Superbowl 2037 or so by the earliest. -
