I love his songs! He is an amazing and talented musician who plays the guitar so good!. His father was a military guy that when found out that Bryan wanted to be a singer...well...you pretty much imagine what could have been his reaction!. My favourite song is 'Everything I do, I do it for you' *sigh*
With a career spanning over 20 years and worldwide album sales that rival the biggest recording artists in the world, Bryan Adams's "I'm just the bass player in the band" attitude seems rather simple, compared to his career achievements, but that's just how he is.
His songs have achieved #1 status all over the world, and his career has seen some amazing recordings with other music legends from around the world. He holds the record for the longest running #1 single in British music history with his hit "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" and has topped the charts in the USA four times with hits "Heaven", "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You", "All For Love" (with Rod Stewart and Sting) and "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?". In addition to these recordings he has been awarded the Order Of Canada from the country he was born in, which is the Canadian equivalent of the British MBE.

I used to listen to Bryan Adams all the time in the '80's. In fact, one summer I drove from Washingon, DC, to Massachusetts (about 8.5 hours one way) listening to a Bryan Adams cassette over and over. I listened to it so much, I wore it out! I don't remember which album it was; it was a lonnnnggg time ago.
