Yup, they've run the gamut. McCartney, TP & the Hipbreakers, The Boss, The Who, The Stones. Most recent modernish act was Prince, right? I suppose

they could corral Van Halen for a set.

My money is on the BEPs.

Prince was modernish? He's been around just as long as Tom Petty. -- nm - Ender Feb 8, 07:00 2
- I would argue that Prince's 80's-90's stuff comes across as more youthful then Tom Petty given - HdnAgnda Feb 8, 07:08 1
  - Really? Prince's genre of music hasn't even existed in 20 years. -- nm - Ender Feb 8, 07:10
Here's a list. Looks like 2001-2004 was the peak for modernish artists, excepting Jacko in 93. -- (link) - TFox Feb 8, 06:54 2
- Like I said last night...they haven't had anyone under 50 since Janet showed her boobie. -- nm - Jim Feb 8, 06:58
- The big surprise (for me) from that list is how they only started booking big names in the 1990s - Roger More Feb 8, 06:57
Prince had been around 20 years before his SB appearance, so that's stretching modernish :) I'd go with Jackson/Timberlake as most recent modernish -- nm - Roger More Feb 8, 06:50 1
- And we all know how that turned out... -- nm - znufrii Feb 8, 06:51
