Ewan Currie of Canadian rock group the Sheepdogs says this year's Super Bowl halftime show should feature the likes of the Roots, Black Keys or even Prince. Just anybody but Madonna!

"Forget Madonna, y'know," Currie said during an interview Thursday afternoon with Tim & Sid (Tim Micallef and Sid Seixeiro) on Toronto sports radio station The Fan 590. "I remember in '98 when she came out with that album 'Ray of Light,' she was old back then and like it's 2012 now. That was 14 years ago."

Instead of the material girl, Currie said he would rather see the Roots have an opportunity to perform. "They're getting more props now and people know about them thanks to the Jimmy Fallon show but if you've seen them live you know they can stake a claim to being the best live band around," he said. "They put on a killer show, can do all kinds of styles, they can medley and all that kind of stuff."
