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.

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... Posted by seracerveza on Friday, 07/4/2014 @ 16:52pm |
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. Posted by Paul in KY on Tuesday, 10/7/2014 @ 15:14pm |
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. Posted by Rick Kruchten on Sunday, 05/31/2015 @ 09:14am |
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. Posted by Nick on Monday, 02/15/2016 @ 21:01pm |
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 Posted by Jason Voigt on Monday, 02/15/2016 @ 22:29pm |
Most talented artist of all time. 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).

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. Posted by Nick on Thursday, 11/10/2022 @ 14:38pm |
