He just does his thing, rockin’ steady, without glomming media fanfare, and has done it exceedingly well, establishing a career that is still going strong after more than 40 years. Bryan Adams is what people call an “army brat.” His father was part of the British and Canadian Army that became a foreign diplomat for the United Nations.
#5- "Heat of the Night”
The first single from the 1987 album Into the Fire. #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 #2 on the Mainstream Rock chart #7 in Canada “Heat of the Night” is a mighty rocker with a big chorus blasting Bryan’s full-chested vocal power.
“In the heat of the night They’ll be comin’ around. They’ll be looking for answers They’ll be chasin’ you down."
#4- From 1985….“Heaven” In my estimation, Bryan Adams’ finest vocal performance in the 80s. Adams can flat out wail in an uptempo number, or on a tender soft rock love song. That’s one of the qualities that separates him from other vocalists. He maintains that rough grittiness in his vocal delivery with tremendous commitment on every song he sings.
But, his technique tones it down just perfectly for the ballads.
#3- From 1985- “Summer of ’69” A out right classic if there ever was one. The genesis of the song’s theme was nostalgic, It was originally titled “Best Days of My Life” But, as Bryan elaborated on the lyric line. It evolved from getting his “first real 6 string at the five and dime", into a reflection on a 'coming of age' sexual relationship.
“Summer of ’69” rose to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 And #11 in CanadaThis song was a right of passage for every 80s kids.
#2- The title track to Bryan Adams 1983 album release ….“Cuts Like a Knife” #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 #12 in Canada
In ’83, Bryan Adams was poised and ready to pounce on his place in the music industry. “Cuts Like a Knife” was the track that established an identity in the rock world for Bryan Adams.
As many artists have told us, you just gotta let the magic flow. You never know when you’re gonna find it, but you know it when you hear it.
#1- “Run To You” The 1984 classic rocker written about a cheating lover running to his mistress. I think its my favorite song by Bryan Adams because of its immediacy. loved it the first time I heard it, and I never get tired of it. Musically it has layers of deeply emotion provoking soul searching resonance. I love the guitar sounds in this one. The lead single from the Reckless LP, and it was also the last track to be recorded for the album.

[@pmcgee78]

Bryan Adams entire Reckless album is a masterpiece, pretty much all hits

[@brightredcar]

Paul Mcgee Agree!

[@soupdragonuk]

Absolutely. There's not a single weak track on it. Though imo Heaven is the standout track on it. YOu only have to watch the entire Wembley audience sing the first verse to him in 1986 after the intro, before he starts the whole of Wembley erupts.

[@bowiestones1]

It's one the few "perfect" albums, every track i'd give my eye teeth to have written just one line of lyric. I drove 160km to collect a CD Copy from 1986, just to get the original sound, I didn't want to risk it being lost in the post. I sits in my "Desert Island" collection alongside, Bat Out Of Hell, Exile On Main Street, Back In Black, Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous and Skynyrds "One More from the Road"

[@tonymeehan7859]

Kids Wanna Rock - complete BADASS anthem

[@fredlandry6170]

Great album I had the tape when I was a kid.

[@VibhasPatil]

Keith Scott! What a legend! One of the most underrated guitars players around. Regardless of how many notes and how fast he played, always stayed true to the song. We wouldn't be talking about Bryan Adams the way we do without Keith Scott for sure.

[@yolandabrooksqueenofsevens]

I’m the biggest Bryan Adams fan ever I have all of his 45’s I love him Thank you Professor of Rock for doing this he does not get celebrated enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jeffreyg607]

BA RRHOF. Yet another overdue artist :) LA Kia Forum July 29 💪

[@Repomidnight]

Night in, night out for 40 years has given it all onstage. Underrated songwriter, and the greatest live performer I’ve ever seen.

[@mikekelly6774]

I'll date myself here but "Summer of 69" was the first song I heard on a CD player. It was mind blowing.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks for sharing.

[@amauldin71]

While I might have gotten 'Reckless' on cd (definitely had it on cassette), the first cd I remember hearing was something by Talking Heads -- maybe 'Speaking in Tongues?' Can't remember the song, but I do recall being blown away by the clarity. I'd never heard music over a stereo sound so crystal clear before.

[@192tyler]

Growing up, my parents both loved Bryan Adams, I’m honoured to know most of his songs word for word, he has so many good ones.

[@192tyler]

I heard run to you was him deciding between a woman and his band lol

[@kimberelydavis379]

I remember my friend getting the first CD player in our small town. We couldn’t believe how expensive the disks were at $15 or more! It’s so funny to think about that now, but his copy of Ozzy/Bark at the Moon did sound pretty dang good! 😁

[@dweingast]

Bryan Adams, a greatly underappreciated, songwriter, and singer and rockstar

[@joegiannini7483]

So underrated artist, Bryan is a total stud.

[@bpark0906]

I would add “One Night Love Affair” to your list.

[@ivansanchez6070]

Bryan Park agreed!!

[@denisegore1884]

Oh yeah!!!

[@sameoldeh]

@Bryan Park Definitely. One Night Love Affair is a quintessential rock n roll song. One of his best.

[@jandyandrade6255]

Thought i died and gone to heaven,as well, definetly

[@ps5392]

One Night Love Affair is a great fuckin’ song!

[@bryanw91178]

To me, Summer of ‘69 is THE greatest song of all time. Even today, I’ll sometimes get a nostalgic tear when I hear it from remembering when that song came out, how innocent life was and how great the 80’s were in general. I can also still remember being 5 years old in 1983 and hearing Straight from the Heart and Cuts Like A Knife on the radio for the first time and I’ve been a fan of Bryan’s ever since. If you haven’t heard any of his recent stuff, go check it out. I’ve also admired his wanting to stay out of the spotlight and just make music you can enjoy forever

[@DouglasLJr]

There's nothing like seeing Bryan Adams in concert and the way the crowd gets into his songs. Heaven, Cuts Like A Knife and Summer of 69 are absolutely amazing in concert. Have never seen a bad show of his, but my favorite was in December 1992. Mr Big was the opener and they just played all night long, was almost like they didn't want the show to end. Great memories of his shows, but that one really stands out to this day.

[@cavemanjay]

"Do i have to say the words" has always been a favourite of mine.

[@pokes986]

"Heat of the Night" great song.... vastly underrated and under played!!!

[@sameoldeh]

Jim Vallance & Bryan Adams have written some of the best songs ever. Bryan Adams has been an absolute hit machine during his career.

[@laurenbarca4661]

Bryan Adam’s music never goes out of style

[@christophers2959]

“Heaven” is probably one of the best ballads of all time

[@jandyandrade6255]

Add Please forgive me to that! Hipnotizingly beautiful and melodic.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

Agreed. "Heaven" has the best middle eight of any 80's song. 🎶 "I've been waiting for so long..."🎶 I need to dig out my old lighter, now.

[@flipperdripper5769]

For the gay community

[@ivansanchez6070]

100% agree my friend

[@randycastleberry761]

One night love affair. Great song

[@ToBGrey]

Into the fire is GROSSLY underrated... from beginning to end.. Just an Incredible Album

[@ines_uk]

“Run to you” isn’t about a mistress but it’s about his love for his guitar. Just after 80’s came his great 90’s hits. That’s when I got to know about him. “Waking up the neighbours” and the next few albums were just full of great songs.They haven’t got old. Still as great now as back then.

[@JWCFB]

Bryan Adams album Cuts Like A Knife is a masterpiece of a rock album because every song is Great.

[@MrBfg586]

"Its Only Love" has got to be one of the best duo's of the 80's or one of the best period. That song just ROCKS. Bryan and Tina were on fire in that song.

[@panamorado]

Saw him last year here in Costa Rica for his Shine a Light world tour... all I am gonna say is that it has been one of the best concerts I have attended...and probably the one I have enjoyed the most! Simply amazing.

[@Obiwanshinobi11]

Waking up the neighbours is such a great underrated album I still to this day throw it on

[@meinhd1483]

It's one of the best 90's rock albums.

[@clfolsom1276]

Hearts on Fire is a high energy song that is often overlooked. Saw him in the 80's and the 2000's, he rocks just as hard today as he did in the 80's. Go see him while you still can, you will not regret it.

[@SBphd]

All of his songs are good...but this dude rocks out live in concert. Even today, he puts on a great show.

[@vanarve]

Bryan is the real deal, few touring artists today can match his catalogue of hits. I have been to four Bryan Adams concerts and he is one of the few classic rock singer i have witnessed that sings as good, if not better than he did when he was young, no tuning down of guitars or transposing of keys. Another thing that i really appreciate about Bryan is that its all about the music, no glitter and glam or political agenda. He puts on a t-shirt, a pair of jeans, goes out on the stage and gives his fans what they want. Another great video professor. Greetings from Norway.

[@tangoandcars9588]

Bryan Adams was like the real life Marty Mcfly.

[@officialWWM]

[@petermiller1839]

Summer of 69 Bryan Adams,kids wanna rock,this time,straight to the heart.

[@jaytrace1006]

I absolutely love “Cuts Like A Knife”. I especially like the version from Adams’ MTV Unplugged album with members of the Hothouse Flowers. Very Irish feel. I met Bryan Adams years later backstage. He was just as humble and kind as you might imagine. And, he is a small guy. Maybe 5’6”, 140 lbs. That show, and meeting him personally, was one of the highlights of my life.

[@JohnBeebe]

Bryan Adams was one of the best concert I have ever been to, not showy, came out worked the music and crowd, stopped in the middle of a song, to tell the ladies to "keep their knickers on" after some were tossed on stage

[@janebeatty9472]

Singer, writer, musician and one heck of a performer. He blew Market Square Arena away after his first album.

[@ericcorley1160]

Dude... I love Bryan Adams!! Lonely nights is one of my favorite Adam's song. Cuts like a knife and Reckless are masterpieces.

[@rebecalinares5393]

also 1987´s "Into the Fire".

[@vinman5432]

ONE NIGHT LOVE AFFAIR is my favorite not when I was listening in the 80s but now.

[@Lionize728]

"Run To You" has always been my fave BA banger. That bass

[@neugey]

And the guitar tone is to die for. Great keyboards and organ on the Reckless album too.

[@johnmoher404]

Brian is a Canadian Icon … with so much talent … but still humble. Plus a ton of hits to go along.🇨🇦

[@joshstephens7746]

At 40 something, I still air guitar to his songs.

[@PaulJGorzkowski]

I don't have a "favorite" song of Bryan Adams because he gave us numerous great songs through the decades. He along with so many other musical geniuses of the 80s, defined the best decade of my life. Bryan Adams became a legend the moment he hit radio stations around the world. And rightfully so... I will say it until I'm blue in the face... The 80s was by far the best era for music (music videos), movies, television, fads, and just being alive. No other decade will ever come close to what we had back then.

[@Cherokeelion]

It is really fun to see todays generation getting slayed by Brian and many other 80s favorites. You just dont GET music like that anymore.

[@jarredschenke3837]

I know you limited this to the 80s -- justifiable so -- but his single Thought I'd Died and Gone To Heaven always reminds me of my first love

[@PrinceTron1]

That song is the definitive Bryan Adams! I agree with you wholeheartedly! They finally included it on one of his 2CD ultimate collections. One of his best and most underrated songs.

[@bryanw91178]

My favorite tune of his from the 90’s is “ Can’t Stop This Thing We Started” from the same Waking Up the Neighbors album

[@jarredschenke3837]

@@retropyro Oh man, never heard it. You gotta link that for me!

[@jonlyen7477]

Fits ya good was my introduction to Bryan Adams, and it still tops my list.

[@deborahwhite5893]

I saw Bryan Adams in concert years ago. He was amazing! The first time I really listened closely to his music, was when I heard Cuts like a knife. I had the Reckless tape growing up in the 1980’s. It’s one of the albums ever. There is not even a mediocre song on it. Every song is great! One night love affair would definitely be in my top five.

[@jayrockBC]

I became a serious BAD fan back in 1999, yes 21 years ago when I was a high school senior. Napster was in its prime, I was getting tired of listening to my peers' gangster rap. So I decided to expand my genres of tunes. I downloaded Summer of 69 back in '99 and fell in love with his tunes. It's also nice that he's from Vancouver as well since I grew up in Vancouver as a kid. As a local guy during my younger years, one of my high school teachers was close classmates with Bryan Adams. She consistently attested that he was determined to make it regardless of his small size and lack of academic ambition. His tunes has an ability to lift my mood.

[@Ka2Fiti]

Adams toured a few years ago with his acoustic guitar and an accompanying pianist. His voice was absolutely amazing. He didn't need assistance from the recording studio. That voice is the real deal.

[@yianniszcovers]

Last November saw Bryan Adams live!!! He played 25 songs. 20 of them were massive hits from 80s 90s and early 2000s!!! His voice is still there!!! If this is the last big concert I ll ever see, I m fine with that!

[@PrinceTron1]

I became aware of Bryan Adams as a 9/10 year old back in 1984 with 'The Summer of 69' and 'Run To You'. I liked his music alot but wasn't over the top about him. Then I'll never forget on a Saturday in 1991 when his world debut of his song and video for (Everything I Do) I Do For You on NBC. I got teary eyed listening to that song. Eventually I purchased his 'So Far, So Good' Greatest Hits cassette collection. Bryan is indeed among my top 15 singers and musicians ever! I've got so much of his studio recordings and even rare, live concerts on audio.

[@DarthJ1977]

One of the things that really sets Bryan Adams apart is the production on his records, particularly Reckless. There's so much space around the guitar and the drums. It really sounds huge. And the guitar sound leading into the final chorus of Run to You is incredible.

[@andresgc770]

"It's Only Love" is one of my all-time faves from Adams. That guitar part in the middle is just a pleasure to hear every time.

[@North-of-the-49th]

"Fits ya Good" is my fav song. 💙 from Montréal 🇨🇦.

[@ChrisDemers23]

"What The Eagles would have sounded like in the mid-80s." ~ Brilliant...and spot on.

[@ponguito97]

My memory of Bryan Adams started away from my home in Havana. For 45 days every year, kids in Cuba were taken to work in the agriculture, far away from home. One of the kids was in charge of waking the the entire school at 5:30 am every morning by any means, so he played a Bryan Adams cassette in the loudspeakers. We all fell in love with his music.

[@megcook1829]

I saw Bryan Adams in Melbourne Australia last March and ge was amazing X he told a story that his parents went into their life savings and bought him a piano and the first song he wrote on it at 17 was "Straight from the Heart" one of the best shows I've been to xx

[@Repomidnight]

I was there in March 2019. It was absolutely a poignant moment during a great show. My first ever concert was seeing him at Rod Laver in 97. Hope to see him again.

[@kevinblackburn3198]

I saw him with Billy Idol as the opening act in Virginia in 2019. I've seen him many times and he is a good now as the first time I saw him in the 80's.

[@kimberelydavis379]

I remember buying Cuts Like A Knife on a band trip out of our little, tiny town. I listened to it over and over again thinking about a boy I’d met while I was there. I was crazy in love with him and I still think about him every time I hear a Bryan Adams song. 🥰

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thank you for sharing!

[@marielombard7161]

And he just keeps getting better right on into the 2000's. His concerts are unbelievable.

[@msmoniz]

As a Canadian kid in the 80's I still remember how huge Reckless and the song Run To You were here in Canada, and rightly so. That album and all it's songs still stand up today without sounding overly dated. An all killer no filler record

[@WyattMartin]

I wore out a cassette of the Reckless album. Run to you was and still is my all time favorite Bryan Adams song.

[@AussieTVMusic]

I was at a Pub in 1985 and during the band break they played Run To You on their huge speakers. It was the first time I heard it and it sounded awesome. I went out and bought the album that week.

[@musicalchairs777]

The drums on Cuts Like A Knife are a perfect example of a groove that can't be duplicated on a machine. That's what won't allow most modern songs to have staying power. Gotta have that human heartbeat, there is no way around it.

[@bivo40]

BA was and is still my fav. Such an under-rated singer, guitarist, song writer, and live performer. Anyone that has seen him live knows he sounds as great in person as on the albums. I guess he doesn’t get his recognition because he is unassuming but really should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, maybe someday. Great summary list. Someone said earlier the whole Reckless Album could have been on here. But so many classics on The Cuts Like a Knife album (This Time, Straight From the Heart, Best Was Yet to Come) and the underrated Heat of the Night album I loved Home Again, Rebel, and Native Son which all never got all play. Thanks for spotlighting Bryan.

[@Capt.Gagan.Boparai]

Can't ask for anything on an easy Sunday morning, while listening to one Adam talking about another Adam...my favourite Rock star.. love how you corellat the songs with your childhood experiences..I do the same as each great song transports me to a particular moment in my life..my 5ers: A little love (MTV Unplugged version), Cloud no. 9, 18 till I die, Please forgive me, Let's make a night to remember..!!

[@ia5662]

Glad people can finally show Bryan Adams some love...I feel like he's been quite a punchline in the past. I for one love his songwriting, I've always enjoyed his voice and his guitarist Keith Scott is a hell of a guitar player. Amazing tone and musicality!

[@caccarpy]

Absolutely!!!! Bryan is fantastic, but I think Keith Scott's guitar playing really helped turn these songs into classics. So underrated.

[@RatelHBadger]

I've never understood why he's been a joke artist. Maybe it's just residual thrashing of Everything I Do, people have finally forgotten it and accepted his other quality tunes.

[@tonysmith8379]

I had his album Reckless in 1985 when I first got my drivers licence at 18. I played that cassette so much. The songs bring back so many memories. Good times.

Have always like Bryan. One of the best rockers to come out of the 80’s. As a musician I love to play his songs. They have so much power and I love the guitar work. Saw him live a few years ago and had so much fun. Nothing better than the sound of a Fender Stratocaster through an amp with no tricks or gimmicks! Gotta give some respect to his guitarist Keith Scott!

Finally, Rockers recognizing that Bryam Adams was a bona fide Rock 'n' Roll god. His albums Cuts Like a Knife and Into the Fire should be required to anyone who thinks knows about Rock'n'roll.

He puts on a helluva good show. His was my first concert in 1987, my 18th birthday present haha. I saw him again in 91 for Waking up the Neighbours. As good as both those stadium concerts were, I think my favorite was seeing him in 2012 (I think) on his Bare Bones tour. Just him, acoustic guitar and pianist. And a surprise bagpiper on Cuts Like a Knife which was honestly amazing.

[@brettconnerley8670]

Bryan Adams was one of my favorites in high school and i still play his stuff today. Every song feels like a life experience, a picture -a time machine. I got goose bumps watching this video. Amazing

[@danielsolano602]

Was 8 years old in '83 and some older cousins took me to see Brian Adams and Journey when they came to Denver on Easter. I was completely in love with that CUTS LIKE A KNIFE record. It was snowing pretty good and we missed Adams' show; I was crushed, but Journey brought the right medicine. Couldn't have said it then, but it's amazing how that psychedelic blues thing still had a presence in pop rock even up to that point.

[@javiereninternet]

Summer of 69 resumes must of my life during the summer of 88. One of my top ten songs ever.

[@DigitalMediaCanada]

Run to You and Can't Stop This Thing We Started - love that one. It brings back memories of the Blue Jays winning the World Series in 93. After Joe Carter hit the home run to win the game, they blasted this song on the TV as Joe was rounding the bases and coming home. Electrifying! "Touch them all Joe!"

[@l555mat8]

Yes absolutely agree 1) Run to you 2) one night love affair Couldn’t agree more! Reckless is one of my favourite albums of all time.

I love that you included One Night Love Affair! So underrated and greatest album opener of all time!

Summer of 69 and Heaven are masterpieces
