Any fans out there? I love Bryan Adams and his songs/songwriting has been a huge influence on a lot of the stuff I write. Amazing voice and such a great lyricist.

I liked some of his early pre-"Robin Hood" ballad all the time stuff. The first three songs on Into The Fire are pretty cool and the one he did with Tina Turner was smokin'!!!!!

Reminds me of a time in the 80's that I'd like to forget. Pass.

I always liked his music. I have his greatest hits which covers his career rather nicely.

Decent radio fodder but I don't own any.

I like some of his stuff. Waking Up The Neighbors sounds like Def Leppard could have recorded it, with keys and less riffs. BTW - the RObin Hood song is the worst one on the album!

I like a few songs by him I got "Reckless" on CD and I got the single for Can't Stop This Thing We Started it was one of the first CDs I ever bought

He's tolerable when he's doing "rockers"; can't stand his ballads though.

I was a sick of him as anybody else back in the 80's but these days I like his 80's output quite a bit. I think his main lead guitar player has a great sound and feel for the songs. At least his songs arent keyboard oriented, yes they are very poppy but the kinda rock. IMO some of the best radio pop to come out of the 80's.

Manilow is much, MUCH more vacuous than Bryan Adams.

You deserve to be made fun of on that front. BRYAN ADAMS? Icon_razz

I would not buy any of his records but as far as radio fodder goes he is decent. I love one of his songs though - "Summer Of '69". Simple, driving rock tune.

Yep, that's a good one.

I think Bryan Adams writes good simple radio rock tunes that where perfectly in line with that big 80's AOR sound of that era, even if you are not a fan or think his music is the answer to ear cancer, I can almost bet most of us can name five or six Bryan Adams songs without having to think to hard about it.

Not really a fan but his greatest hits comp gets a spin once in awhile

Said very well Manny... Im a huge fan though and i love his simple approach to songwriting. Hooks on top of hooks with great melody.

The man also co-wrote "Rock And Roll Hell" and "War Machine" on KISS' "Creatures Of The Night" proving he does now how to head bang headbanger

If he did this my respect for the man just increased tenfold. I love that Kiss album and those songs.

I was a better than average fan until Into the Fire. That was the last album I liked from what I can remember.

Last year I came across his album called 11, it was only 5 bucks so I picked it up. Nothing really special though. I don't know if the name 11 stands for 11 songs (the album has 11 tracks), or his 11th album or both.

But Stewie Griffin does a great version of it !

I love the Robin Hood song, one of the best love songs ever written IMO. Especially the extended version...

Just checked out wikipedia and it states that BA named his album 11 for his 11th "studio" album. I count 10

I was thinking the same, and thats the album I would tell someone to start with if they were just getting into Bryan Adams. Killer greatest hits..
