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.
