Elvis Presley never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

The Beatles never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Donna Summer never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Stevie Wonder never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

The Bee Gees never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Blondie never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Rush never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Chicago never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Kansas never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Asia never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Earth Wind and Fire never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Journey never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Foreigner never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

The Fifth Dimension never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Neil Sedaka never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

And, worst of all,

Frank Sinatra never got a Super Bowl halftime show.

Sorry to be pedantic, but you've lined them up perfectly! lol, now then...

Elvis Presley probably should have, indeed.

McCartney played in 2007 (IIRC, maybe '06).

Donna Summer not a big-enough draw.

Stevie Wonder performed in 1999.

Bee Gees are another that should've gotten one (can't stand them, just awful music, even if their singing chops are phenomenal).

Blondie sucks and not a big-enough draw at all.

Rush would've been awesome, but not even close to being a good-enough draw.

Chicago would've been a good choice, with the size of their ensemble and performance style.

Kansas is a two-hit wonder and are unknown outside of NA. Bad choice. Not even a really good band either.

Asia is a supergroup and they don't make for good shows. Not to mention, can anyone on here name a single Asia song?

Earth Wind and Fire are another that make sense, but also probably not a big-enough draw.

Journey are one of the worst musical acts in Rock, their frontman is a loser and they are also a two-hit wonder.

Foreigner aren't a big-enough draw.

The Fifth Dimension are REALLY not a big-enough draw lol.

Neil Sedaka? lol.

Frank Sinatra would've been an EXCELLENT choice.

Some good ones in there, but you can't just put your favourite bands and say it's a disappointment; the artist has to be a big-enough name and a big-enough draw, not to mention has to appeal to a ton of people worldwide, as it is the biggest spectacle to those who don't watch the game (of which there are tens of millions). Neil Sedaka?
