LauraRichardson should perform

Garth puts on a heck of a show.

Garth, Shania Twain, & the Dixie Chicks were the main ones who brought country music to super sales and maybe Kenny Rogers before them in the 1980s. Kenny was probably the first to really get mainstream Top 40 crossover success, rather than a song or 2 becoming a pop hit like most country acts before him. Dolly Parton was on TV a lot though, but she didn't get that much pop airplay.

I don't get why the NFL is so adverse to rappers performing. The masculine vibe of hip hop goes hand in hand with American football as much as rock does.

Nelly has performed on 2 Superbowl half time shows, including the one with Janet Jackson. Puff Diddy Daddy & Kid Rock did one too.

Sexual Chocolate.

I'm betting that they're probably gonna have Taylor Swift or Rihanna do the next one.

I'd rather see an old school artist or band....Hall and Oates would be perfect.

GC and P-funk don't have the kind of popularity to pull it off.
Guns n Roses isn't a bad suggestion. Slash basically saved the Black Eyed Peas half-time show a few years ago. So i vote for them.
Or Kendrick Lamar. Please, no country! Hip-hop and Rap is where its at. They might as well just get it over with a book him.
I heard Britney is campaigning hard for the opportunity. So there's that.

P-funk is a good fit. Everyone knows GC and Bootsy. And they can bring in the rappers who sampled them to perform and even Red Hot Chili Peppers along.

Bon Jovi

Hall & Oates

Everybody's top pick in this thread is way off....I bet they are gonna let a Rap Star ROCK the Halftime Show this year.....It's time..

The Songwriters Hall of Fame finally inducted a Rap Artist this year

The Kennedy Center Honors is finally honoring a Rap Star this year...

The NFL is the perfect venue to keep it going in 2018....

That's why I chose Snoop. He's mainstream known in a way than most other rappers aren't. He's got a cooking show with Martha Stewart and did a duet with Willie Nelson, so he's got the Murder She Wrote audience. Unless they can get the Fresh Prince instead. He and Jazzy Jeff are doing some shows this month at the MTV Summerblast & Livewire festivals in Croatia and the U.K. Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince's music is family friendly.

But what he doesn't have is a hit song.... last big one was "Drop It Like Its Hot" like ten years ago amirite?Oldies like "Gin & Juice" wouldn't work with Budweiser or whoever owns football marketed beverages.

I think it might be Shania Twain's year if she can get her act together in time.

The Who, Paul McCartney, Prince, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and others who have done it in recent years haven't had hits in decades either. The Who haven't had a hit single since the late 70s or early 80s. They haven't even had any solo hits in a long time. The half time show has never really been about current hit records but general popularity. If that was the case they wouldn't have had Carol Channing do it several times.

Until recently, Shania hasn't released a record since 2002, nor was performing. Most of her albums are in the 1990s. So where's her modern hits?

Ed Sheeran

Well there you have it, Snoop Dogg and Carol Channing 2017.

Since you want acts that are currently popular on the charts, Shania Twain ain't it. That would be Drake, Enrique Iglesias, DJ Khaled, Maroon 5, G Eazy, Romeo Santos, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, SZA, Post Malone, Florida George Line, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Adele, Future, Bruno Mars, Luke Bryant, Childish Gambino, Daddy Yankee, Taylor Swift, etc.

I knew that one would get comments and laughs.
