Haven't listened to Bryan Adam for years - consider him to be completely irrelevant now. maybe he just did too many fluffy movie soundtracks or something but he lost his edge a long, long time agao.
The last albuum I bought was On A Day Like Today and other than the title track, I thought it was mostly mediocre, and before that so was 18 as well.
I agree with what Seb says though - 18 actually appealed to me when I was about 18 - but it has no maturity to last any longer than that, and no tracks that really stand the test of time.
Last decent thing BA did was his unplugged album, and obviously even that doesn't rock by its very nature.
Simon, say for example we compare BA (definitely pop rock) to our discussion about Crush on the other thread. Put the two together and Crush (a definite pop rock record), for all its faults, completely blows BA's recent efforts out of the water.
