Super Bowl XLIV is here and that means only one thing: another performance from a classic rock icon. Ever since the infamous 2004 Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake nipple incident, the NFL has been opting for "veteran" acts to lessen the chance of controversy.

The Who will be following the footsteps of Paul McCartney (2005), the Rolling Stones (2006), Prince (2007), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (2008), and last year's performance by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

Pete Townshend spoke to Billboard about The Who's planned set, saying "We're kinda doing a mashup of stuff. A bit of 'Baba O'Riley,' a bit of 'Pinball Wizard,' a bit of the close of 'Tommy,' a bit of 'Who Are You,' and a bit of 'Won't Get Fooled Again.' It works -- it's quite a saga. A lot of the stuff that we do has that kind of celebratory vibe about it -- we've always tried to make music that allows the audience to go a bit wild if they want to. Hopefully it will hit the spot."

Super Bowl XLIV, between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, kicks off on Sunday, February 7^th at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida.
