What's so special about Kid Rock?
What's so unique about "A Summer Long"?
Noting is my opinion.

He became a so called "Country" guy when the Rap-rock craze died down a bit.
If you like Kid Rock then like Kid Rock.
There is no reason to compare Prince and Kid Rock.
They are in different places and status in their careers.

Kid Rock is cooler than Prince.

Are you on crack? Since when is mashing classic rock songs the sign of maturity or talent? Or singing fucking country tunes?

Perhaps you don't like P's music because you do not like RnB or Funk. So be it a lot of people seem to feel that RnB is immature. Sorry some of us like to groove and we do not listen to music with expectation that the solution to world peace will be found in the lyrics.

Anyhow your cetainly not going to find any depth listening to Kid Rock.

Kid Rock puts on a GREAT show and has TONS of Fans. I've seen him 5x already and going to see him in February. I love his stage show and he's really cool onstage. He's a PRESENCE. His shows always sell out.

Maybe he is a good performer but this guy is stating that he has all this maturity in his music and I just don't see it. In addtion, he might be good but I doubt he is as good as P.

Anywhy we have seen people get on this board back in the late 90's and write P off and managed to come back.

Come on Ugot2shakesumethin'...I believe it is time 4 U 2 listen 2, "The Rainbow Children," again.

Prince is 50 ffs. How mature do people want him to be?

Personally I preferred his material from his immature days.

And as for Kid Rock. I'm in Britain and my only encounter with the chap was that awful song during the summer. Blasphemous almost. But then it's not made for me, it's made for the teens.

At 38 years of age I tend to leave pop to the youngsters. So you won't be finding any Britney, Timerlake or Pussy Cat Dolls in my record collection.

However I would say that Take That have matured into quite a decent band. Okay they don't play but their song writing ability and harmony is world class at the moment.

Dude ure only 38 not 90!!!! Are u going to pick out ure walking stick tomorrow or what?? U and I are the same age

Sorry Chilli. I'm actually 37. I forget as I don't place any importance on my age. Like Prince

iloveannie said:

Hey, u were the one that put ureself in "Old Fart" status just by saying u leave it to the youngsters

chillichocaholic said:

But isn't there a huge difference between me at 17 and me at 37? Thankfully my tastes have evolved over the last twenty years. Unfortunately my spark for life has diminished somewhat and I now have regrets that can't be addressed.

I'm not that much of an old fart. More Frank from Shameless than Frank from Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em thankfully.

iloveannie said:

Well probablu age and maturity wise yes...there is a difference
Ure zest for life has diminished? Really? I dont think mine has at all. I've done some stupid thing but I cant really say I have any regrets as such
I like Frank from "some mothers do ave em"
I hope one of ure regrets isn't that u paid to see Kid Rock

chillichocaholic said:

I reckon you should watch the first series of Shameless and then see which Frank you prefer
