The football season might have just started, but whispers of halftime performers are already beginning. Sports Illustrated reports that this year The Who will take the stage. This makes sense: while the early part of the decade brought lot’s of Mickey Mouse Club alumni (Justin, Britney, Christina, more Justin), more recent years have favored the classics, with Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and most recently Bruce Springsteen rounding out the last few years.
Football fans have an entire season to celebrate sportsmanship and toughness and whatever else they like. That leaves Superbowl Sunday as a day for the rest of us: you know, for the confetti salesmen, the talking animals, and the firework fanatics. You’ll have to wait for February for the Who’s first performance in North America since 2008; in the meantime we’ve rounded up and ranked each performance of the last decade.
