When it comes to Kid Rock and Bruce Springsteen, there really is no comparison.
One was “Born to Run,” and the other “Born Free.” One is a rock and roll legend, the other, a self-proclaimed rock and roll Jesus…
However, their music styles aren’t the only massive difference between the two…
It’s well known that Bruce Springsteen has been a longtime Democrat and Kid Rock is a staunch Conservative, which of course is what promoted this hilarious unofficial fan poll that has taken over the internet in the past few days.
Twitter user @AromaLady2 posted the simple question on Twitter:
“Bruce Springsteen or Kid Rock”

For Miss Aroma Lady… the answer was clear:
“Kid rock hands down the best performer and a true patriot.”
Tough to be a true patriot…

Needless to say, the question set the internet ablaze, with thousands of people chiming in to share their opinions.
And while it’s hard to objectively argue that based on merit alone, Kid Rock is better than Bruce Springsteen, music is subjective, and the Bob Ritchie fans were more than happy to plead his case.
Enjoy:
No one should ever be comparing the legendary Bruce Springsteen to the MAGA lunatic Kid Rock. Like, that’s just laughable and disrespectful.

Are people really comparing Bruce Springsteen and Kid Rock?
The Boss has sold over 150 million albums and is a legend. One of the all time greats.
Kid Rock is trash. Dude looks like he woke up in a trailer park after a night of drinking out of the toilet and eating cigarettes.

Saying Kid Rock makes better music than Bruce Springsteen is like saying a brick is a better cellphone than an iPhone.

Kid Rock is more talented than liberal Bruce Springsteen by a lot.

Kid Rock is the Ted Nugent of Vanilla Ices.
Bruce Springsteen is the Boss of Bosses.
Any questions?

It's all BS
Bruce Springsteen that is. His catalog is deep. I separate the music from the musician's views. If I didn't do that I wouldn't like elvis or led zeppelin, or elvis Costello, or….

Kid Rock. When Springsteen comes on the radio, I change the station. The same with Bon Jovi.

The Boss takes it. Springsteen is 3/4 of the way to an EGOT. He sold his music catalog for $500 million. The lyrics of his songs are part of the American lexicon. Even his guitar is iconic.
Kid Rock is to music what Fox is to news.

Do not insult Bruce Springsteen. Kid rock isn't worthy of the dust on Bruce's cowboy boots

It’s pretty sad that people have become so politically partisan that they’ll say Kid Rock is a better musician than Bruce Springsteen. I don’t care if Bruce was a flaming Trumper and Kid Dick was a Liberal. Bruce is still boss. Good God.

I can't believe we live in a time that I'm defending a douche in the night, but if you only know about Springsteen from Born in the USA on, then sit this out, because YOU know nothing about what you're talking about.
