Ranking the Super Bowl halftime shows, from worst to first

Prior to 1993, the Super Bowl halftime show was a showcase for college marching bands, Up With People and gimmicks like Brian Boitano figure skating with Dorothy Hamill. Since then, however, the show has become a spectacle that’s every bit as hyped as the game around it.

Michael Jackson was in the final stretch of his reign as King of Pop — sexual abuse allegations would hit later that summer — when he shot onto stage at the Rose Bowl. There, he stood in motionless triumph for 90 seconds while 100,000 fans cheered and awaited his five-song set. Jackson started off with Jam, then went into Billie Jean and  Black or White before closing with a mass sing-along of Heal the World. It was the birth of the modern-day Super Bowl spectacle and nothing will ever top it.
