That question is a bigger joke than the rip-off it refers to!

One of the greatest rockers I've seen live! Yeah, I think he'll be able to get in someday. The genre he mostly fits into seems very hard to define. Is it rap-rock? Country-rock? Hard-rock? Whatever. He's also worked with current HOFers as well, most of them mentioned by Roy above. I understand a lot of people don't like him or his music, but I say he definitely deserves to get in.

If anyone has the chance to see him live, do it!

Lets hope he gets IN

Maybe... the RRHOF loves this guy.... and accept it or not he is really a good musician in his own right crossing genres from rap, rock, country and badassery...

Saw Kid Rock at Louder than Life fest in Louisville. He was at last year's Voodoo Fest, but I was seeing another act & missed him.

After you listen to several of his songs, you realize that in his own way/style, he's a lot like Kanye.

They both have very high opinions of themselves & relay that in their music/comments. The Kid leaves most of his bragging to the songs, while Kanye (when I saw him at Bonnaroo) generally went on monologues before breaking into a song.

I guess you can say this about a lot of artists, but I find his songs to sorta all sound the same after awhile. He also does more covers than the usual act in his slot would (IMO).

Country, rap, rock, blues. Can play every instrument in his band. The father of hick hop. Big time Bobby doesn't write songs, he writes anthems.

Maybe this will be a controversial remark on my part, but I think Kid Rock actually has a decent chance appearing on a Rock Hall ballot within the next 10 or so years. Think about it, he inducted Aerosmith (2001), Bob Seger (2004), Lynyrd Skynyrd (2006), and now Cheap Trick (2016). Clearly the Rock Hall likes him and he often performs with those he inducts. This is the 4th time he inducted someone. I think Neil Young inducted more people in the Hall and of course he's a 2-time HOF-er. Not saying anything about his music here (I think he has some good songs in his catalogue, but he became mainstream and radically altered his persona in the 2000s) or comparing him to someone as great as Neil Young. I just think he has a good chance given he constantly appears at these events.

I say Kid Rock's chances of getting in the Hall are becoming better. I don't know who has inducted the most artists yet (besides what Nick mentioned with Neil Young), but this is a sure indicator. I agree that the Rock Hall clearly likes him. Who cares if he is a right-winger (Jann wouldn't like that!). I'm not sure if he's the rock hero of the present day (sure seems like he is), but as I stated in the above comments nearly 3 yrs ago, he is one hell of a live act. He stands up for the little guy. I'll go as far as saying the next five years he'll appear on a ballot. He's already eligible, even though Kid Rock didn't become mainstream until 1999. Maybe when his time comes, David Spade (in his Joe Dirt character) should induct him, and make staged peace. That would be a trip

Most talented artist of all time.
How is he not in already?

Posted by Zach on Sunday, 08/28/2022 @ 20:13pm

Not sure if this is a parody 'Zach' or not...but well done! Zach would certainly love his politics. Pretty sure The Kid is BFLed somewhat like Motely Crue. The only difference being that The Crue will be inducted once their last member passes, while Kid Rock will never be inducted (unless we descend into the kind of fascist dystopia Zach longs for).

I've seen Kid Rock and he's a one-trick pony (IMO).

Politics aside. 1,000 % Bob Ritchie is a hall of fame act. Kid Rock has offered a diverse collection of great music over his career. He transcended the post hardcore era and stayed relevant with new styles over the years. Eventually he should be in there.

I don't like Kid Rocks music at all no hall of fame for him

Posted by Linda Elsom on Friday, 02/23/2024 @ 19:11pm

I think Bob is a very trashy 'artist'. He's in it for the money and fame. HoF artists have true talent and are never sellouts. Bob started off as a sellout.

Kid rock rocks If we judge artists by politics Then we are a sad bunch of people Shame on anyone that does
That is really weird. IMO
Having said that about 1/2 of the people in USA would disagree lol

Let's stick with talent I know many don't like Pat Boone because of his beliefs He should of been in years ago I love people that believe in diversity lol

Still up to your old BS, Paul in KY? You're a pathetic, sad little man, and you have zero evidence that I support fascism. My sociopolitical learnings are more anarchist these days, having read the work of writer John Zerzan and Bob Black. The environment should be the main issue

If it helps to cure your delusions, the "Zach" who made the post praising Kid Rock is most definitely not me. I've despised Kid Rock and his regressive brand of rap-rock for a long time. His descent into politics just illustrates how desperate he is to pander to the Republican voter base. Screw them.

In closing, please learn how to FOAD.

Glad to see you're still out there, Zach! Rock on!

Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 08/5/2024 @ 05:31am

I've seen plenty of concerts as I'm 63 years old. Kid Rock is one of my all time favorites! His level of entertainment is hard to match. He plays every instrument and is a fireball on stage. I've seen him 15 times and will continue to go see him as long as he keeps performing. I love all kinds of music, depends on the mood I'm in. From rock, hip hop, country, indie, Christian and alternative! Performance wise Kid Rock is THE American Badass!

Who could argue against an artist with such lyrical prowess as "Young ladies, young ladies / I like 'em underage, see / They call it statutory / I say it's mandatory"?
