On Sunday, Maroon 5 is going to take the Super Bowl half time stage. In honor of the occasion, Anthem Lights recorded a medley of the band’s greatest hits.
As much as I love it and have had the song on repeat for the last hour, it proves to me why Adam Levine should not be doing the coveted spot. They are a chick band. Girls love them, men not as much. The Super Bowl is a man’s thing and they want more macho music. Why Bon Jovi has never done it is beyond me. They could bring the crowd to their feet like the deciding play in the final seconds of a the game.
Bands like Maroon 5 and Coldplay are just not going to do that. Then again, they can surprise us like Bruno Mars did. However, Levine says he has moves like Jagger, but, let’s be honest, he doesn’t have them.
Having said of all this I do like the band. I just think you have to know your audience and this is not their audience. You need a band that can blow the roof of an arena. They cannot do that. How do you feel about Maroon 5 landing the biggest gig of the year?
Back to Anthem Lights, want to see what songs are part of the medley, then
Harder to Breathe, This Love, She Will Be Loved, Sunday Morning, Makes Me Wonder, Misery, Moves Like Jagger, Payphone, One More Night, Daylight, Love Somebody, Maps, Animals, Sugar, Don’t Wanna Know, What Lovers Do and Girls Like You.
Even though I like Maroon 5, I really don’t their records as much as I thought I did.
