What would Bryan Adams be doing if he hadn't recorded Summer of '69?

a common position ime is that all of bryan adams's music is bad (i.e. the default position) EXCEPT "summer of '69" which is uniquely good. literally don't understand this position at all. just set yer mind free and allow yourself to enjoy several bryan adams songs.

I like Heaven and Run to You

Precocious enough to accomplish this in his mid-teens!

"In late 1976, Adams became the vocalist for pub band Sweeney Todd, who had only a few months earlier hit number 1 on the Canadian charts with a song "Roxy Roller". Adams was made to sing a re-make of the song for the US, which made it to number 99 on the US charts. The new incarnation of the band released an album If Wishes Were Horses (1977) with Adams billed as "Bryan Guy Adams" on vocals."

"Run to You" is great

I think Summer of 69 was heartfelt nostalgia you've all just been damaged by winky internet "69.....nice" culture

'run to you' rules

also good? 'when you're gone' with melanie c

Have always had a soft spot for some Bryan Adams... Cuts Like A Knife is a great track to me.

My big bro was a big fan of BA and Waking Up the Neighbours was played a lot in my youths. Being that it was produced by Robert John Lange, it's basically just a Def Leppard album with Adams on vocals...

I heard Silent Lucidity in a strip club once
