The beginning of the end for good music was the CD era. Instead of artists having to come up with 25-35 minutes of material every year, the labels were now asking for 65-70 minutes of music every two or three years which quickly led to every four or five years.
Whether you were a Kiss fan or not, in the vinyl era, you had a new album for your Freshman year, one for your Sophomore year, another for your Junior year and yet another for your Senior year. I didn't hang around the same kids in my Freshman year that I hung around with in my Senior year and hearing some of those songs on the radio from those years reminds of some of those friends that I only knew for a short time.
In the vinyl era, with albums coming out every year, the artists grew and you grew. Sometimes a band you had no interest in early in their career evolves into a path that intersects with yours. Sometimes a band you really connected with early in their career moves away from the direction you're heading. SOMETIMES a band that you connect with from the start, puts out kick ass album after kick ass album. I remember waiting for Metallica's Master Of Puppets and after putting that album on the turntable . . . it completely changed the rest of the 80's for me. The only non-Thrash Metal album that I bought from mid 86 through early '92 was Scorpions Savage Amusement in 1988.
In the CD era, If an already popular band put out an album in a kids high school Freshmen year, he'd be lucky if they put out their next album his Sophomore year in college. He's changed as a person, the band has changed and the entire music scene has changed. There's no connection with a band or artist like there was from the 80s on back and the CD era is what ended it.

To each their own. Not everyone is going to be pleased. I for one am ecstatic. I've been hyped about this halftime show for the first time ever. I've been excited since they announced it, way before the Bengals got close to the post-season. To me, it couldn't get much better.

Wow, that sounds like a badazz lineup to me. Love Dave Mustaine and Megadeth, one of my fave songs by them is Trust.
Also love David Draiman and Disturbed. Staind is another band I always loved as well.
I can see why you don't like Godsmack though, a lot of their songs just sound alike.

I'm from California so snoop, dre and tupac were my favorites and I was born in Detroit so I'm a huge Eminem fan. For once I will be excited for a halftime show, about time they got some good music in it. Hope they keep it that way.
My team in the SB with probably going to be the best halftime show. I'm super excited.
Always liked Tupac, great voice for a rapper. His own style. RIP

Now I'm 38 so I don't like much of today's rap so I'm considered old school as well in a way. Lol
I am 39 so we grew up in the same time. I used to like some rap but preferred Alt Metal and Classic Rock my whole life.
One thing is for sure, this lineup of rappers to me is better than pretty much everything they have been putting on the SB
Halftime lately. Not a rap fan as I said but I absolutely hate mainstream popular music.

Rammstein's Pyro Display would be cool... but doubt they will ever be an option lol...
The Who would be amazing as they are connected to the City forever although in a sad way.
But Metallica and Cartoon Metallica (Dethklok) would be a great combo somewhere.

The members of The Who are older than my grandparents.
Although they’re a legendary band that made some great music, they’re well beyond the target demographic here.

Eh, its Norwegian “black” metal…which admittedly isn’t for some, but they go hard over there for their metal acts. Not sure on exactly how-many-piece orchestra they did the show with, but you can find it on YouTube and its pretty impressive.

It may not be your preferred music type but tbh I am hyped for it. Eminem, Dre and Snoop?
It should be much better than it has been in a long time.
