THE ALTERNATIVE: Superbowl Half Time Show
Jan 26, 2008 | 11:09PM | report this

 I love that Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are going to headline the
Superbowl this year...maybe one year, the Superbowl headliner will be
billed as the players.  I have been to some Superbowls with great
halftime shows like Paul McCartney.  I have been to some Superbowls with
LOUSY halftime shows, Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake and all the
other people they tried to cram in that year.  I was in New Orleans when
U2 perfomed at the first SB after 9-11.....indescribable.
I think Tom Petty might be a little under-rated.  The guy is a hit
factory.  I always try and get people talking about who is under-rated
and who is over-rated.

Here is my list of both.

UNDER-RATED:

Pete Townsend (not The Who...just Townsend).
Steve Miller
The James Gang
Sadly, these days...The Beatles.
Keaton Simons
Prince



OVER-RATED

Bob Dylan (Springsteen writes just as well, and actually performs his
heart out.
Fleetwood Mac...maybe the worst band ever.
The Eagles.
Chicago
Jackson Brown
Joni Mitchell
Lou Reed
Patti SMith
THE MOST OVER-RATED BAND EVER---THE GRATEFUL DEAD.
many of you are losing your minds right now....lets discuss.
