Edit: AC/DC should have played a SB by now. Enough of the Beyonce/Madonna/Fergie garbage.

That would be great. I'm not exactly sure how they might sound today. Every once in a while, when the wife is out, I crank up the surround on their "Live at Donnington" DVD. Nice.

Haha, last time my wife was out I put on the Led Zep DVD Celebration Day (concert of the 2007 reunion show). When the wife and kid are out it's the only time the music can be played loud. Hopefully they go out shopping today!

Great picture! Greatest Super Bowl halftime moment ever, right there.

1. U2
2. Prince
3. The Boss

Nip slip gets honorable mention

Saw ACDC about 4 or 5 years ago.

It was cheesy. But fantastic.

such a guilty pleasure.

Bullocks to you.

U2 was the only one that had any meaning. They're really all a bunch of over-produced fluff done for the TV cameras. I've been to four Super Bowls and got nothing out of the halftime shows -- Janet, McCartney, Petty (awful), Madonna. Meh.

When they opened with "Beautiful Day"…it really got everyone in the mood. Nobody knew the tears would flow with MLK and Where the Streets…

Kind of weird hearing "After the flood, all the colors came out" in Beautiful Day in New Orleans only a few short years before Katrina.

I was at SB 36 and I guess u2 was good. But I was so keyed up that I spent the half time mostly getting beer and going to the bathroom. I saw part of U2's show but I remember almost nothing about it. The Pats were winning the SB!!!! I'll go to a rock concert and really enjoy it some other time...

I've been lucky enough to go to 4 Patriots SBs....the half time show was the least important aspect to me of all of them.

And I'm still pissed at Janet Jackson's left breast for being a bigger story on the morning after SB 38 than the game itself!

I was only pissed that Janet Jackson's left breast wasn't bigger!

lol. Everyone knows U2's last good album & tour was back in 1992. Achtung Baby & Zoo Station Tour. Even Bono snickers about "Beautiful Day" getting a Grammy nod.

U2 had a great 13 year run 1979-1992...

Boy
October
War
Unforgettable Fire
Joshua Tree
Achtung Baby

Live albums- Under A Blood Red Sky & Rattle And Hum

They jumped the shark in 93/94 with the Zooropa album & Pop Mart Tour. Gotta be wary anyway of anyone who says "I like their hits" when speaking about a musical artist anyway. That's a phrase novices use.
