Why did Bryan Adams have a lengthy career?

[cville]

His voice is weird and his songs are schmaltzy. He should've been a one hit wonder.

[meggers5]

Because Canada.

Cville why do you hate Canada?

America junior deserves no respect!

Yes Canadian?

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Like we can't even blame Sheryl Crowe on Canada, either. That chick has no business making music. None.

YES!!!  I can't stand SC.  "All I wanna do" comes on the radio and I want to start breaking things.

[otowngirl]

Kevin Costner didn't hurt, either. EVERYTHING I DO...

Look, we have a long standing tradition of adoring entertainers from America's Hat. It's a thing.

He's the Canadian Job Bon Jovi and I love him. #haterstotheleft

Straight from the heart, man.

Bryan Adams was both the first tape and the first cd I owned

[underwaterrhymes]

As a teen, I was so sure Everything I Do I Do It For You was going to be my wedding song.

[pittsmcgee]

I used to sit in my room and cry to "Please Forgive Me"

That's why.

[otowngirl]

This reminds me, my barre class plays this new techno version of "Faithfully" and I always get super excited. 1980s / 1990s love ballads are my jam.

GTFO with that nonsense. I put Livin' on a Prayer up against the ENTIRE Bryan Adams oeuvre.

My brother played it for my aunt's wedding.

She got divorced after five years.

I'm not saying that's related, but I'm not saying that it's not related either.

One night love affair, trying to make like we don't care.

Summer of '69 is one of my go-to driving songs.

The Summer of '69 has nothing to do with the summer of 1969. Just in case you were wondering - it's just as dirty as your teenage mind imagined.

Seriously!  And I'm not even a Bryan Adams hater, because like otowngirl (I'm guessing), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was one of my favorites when it came out (I was 11!).  And Summer of '69 is definitely a great road trip song. 

My BFF and I danced (okay, jumped around and sang along) to Livin' on a Prayer at her wedding this March.

He was my first CD too!

My first tape was Vanessa Williams, the Comfort Zone. I was the coolest 12 year old ever.

I actually never thought about that until I typed it upthread.

Lol. Hey, it was a good (and memorable) summer for Bryan Adams.

Indeed. The time of life when oral is always on offer because intercourse is not always as feasible. lol

lol it's okay. According to wiki, the cowriter insists it refers to 1969.

It was some behind the scenes/remember the 80's type show where I learned that tidbit, they could have easily had the wrong info.

I'd put newer, crappy Bon jovi a la "who says you can't go home" against his oeuvre.

PS- oeuvre <3
