Let's recap this Rock Renaissance.
Super Bowl XXXV (2001): Aerosmith
The iconic 1970s hard rock band Aerosmith was the headlining act for Super Bowl XXXV. The performance featured a mashup between hit Aerosmith songs, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" and "Jaded" and popular pop band NSYNC songs "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me." The groups upheld the theme of the halftime show, "The Kings of Rock & Pop," with an electrifying set filled with high-energy choreography, comedy and organized chaos. To wrap the hectic show, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige and Nelly joined Aerosmith and NSYNC onstage for a multi-artist performance of the '70s classic "Walk This Way."

Super Bowl XXXVI (2002): U2
Popular 1980s rock band U2 was selected to headline Super Bowl XXXVI. The 2002 performance would go down as one of the most emotional halftime shows in Super Bowl history. U2 delivered a poignant 9/11 memorial tribute. On a heart-shaped stage, the band played touching renditions of "Beautiful Day," "MLK" and "Where the Streets Have No Name" while a screen honoring the names of victims was presented behind them.
