When Madonna was announced as the Super Bowl halftime show this year, I was highly disappointed. I wanna see an energetic, hyped up show that will also keep me interested in the game at hand. Not a woman in her mid-50's singing songs that I didn't even like when they were popular 25 years ago. The Super Bowl will of course be in New Orleans next year... So, with that being said, I'll give you JoBo's top 10 picks for next year's Super Bowl halftime show.

    Foo Fighters


    Foo Fighters have been around for quite some time. Dave Grohl was in a little band called Nirvana. Their music NEVER gets old! I think this is the next logical step in their career. And they would OWN IT!!!

    AC/DC


    AC/DC is just one of those bands. Every time you hear the opening riff to 'Back in Black' you automatically get pumped up! They have a high energy show. No real worries as far as censorship is concerned. Bring on the school boy uniform!

    Pearl Jam


    Pearl Jam just celebrated their 20th year as a band last year. They're still alive and kickin! This would be a great halftime show in that Eddie Vedder never disappoints in his performances, and let's not forget that halftime shows usually consist of other performers or groups that join the main act on stage. They're real tight with Neil Young...Keep on rockin in the free world!

    Metallica


    Just get down to the straight nitty gritty. Gimme some 'Master of Puppets'. I know it's almost 9 minutes long. SO WHAT! This would be a pretty bad ass halftime show, IMO.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers


    Very high energy. They'll still be touring on their latest album. The only thing we'll have to make sure of is that Flea keeps his panties on!

    311


    While this might not be the safest of bets because of some foul language in some of their songs, and how much they like a certain plant, I think you could get them to agree to an all ages crowd friendly show. And if you've ever seen them live, then you know that they are HIGHLY entertaining, and extremely high energy! And those guys LOVE New Orleans!

    Rage Against The Machine


    Whaaaaaat?!?! How's your mind? Blown? Imagine it. How AMPED UP would everyone be??? The crowd. Everyone at home. The players! And on top of that, this would be a good platform for them to preach about whatever is on their minds. Just watch this video and tell me it wouldn't be awesome!

    Stone Temple Pilots


    If Scott Weiland is sober...game over! These guys are fantastic live! They have plenty of hits that everyone knows. And who can deny Scott Weiland's dance moves!

    Beastie Boys


    This would be a great halftime show in that they could do a medley of rap songs, and theeeeen break out the instruments and hit us with 'Sabotage'! In full wig, mustache and aviators of course! Imagine fighting for your right to party IN NEW ORLEANS!!!

    Nine Inch Nails


    I put them up here for a number of reasons. I know last we heard Trent Reznor wasn't planning on doing any live shows. But, we also know he's not retired. So, you're tellin me there's a chance! Now, that being said. Production-wise. This would be one of THE BEST Super Bowl halftime shows ever! This guy knows how to do it right. I know he'd probably never do it since he's very 'damn the man', but we can always hope!
