Kendrick Lamar entertained the Caesars Superdome crowd with his Super Bowl halftime show. Where does it rank with the shows before it?

One of the major non-football storylines that centers around the Super Bowl is the halftime show. These days, the halftime show is one of the most exciting performances of the year and is headlined by some of the biggest artists of all time.

Before it became the pop culture behemoth we know and love, the Super Bowl halftime show was really just a showcase for marching bands, local performers and cover groups. Indeed, it wasn't until 1993, when Michael Jackson was asked to show up and show out, that the gig earned the cache it still carries today.
