Back to You

[Tom_Foolery]

1. His duet with Tina Turner...

[KamaAina]

2. He wanted to title his first album "Bryan Adams Hasn't Heard of You, Either"

but the record company nixed it.

[Katashi_itto]

3. Canada Still needs to apologize for Bryan Adams

[KamaAina]

4. I'd say he's pretty far down the list.

Bieber, Nickelback, even Celine Dion are ahead of him.

[Katashi_itto]

5. Can I finish!

[red dog 1]

8. If you include politicians in that list, Ted Cruz is at the top.

Justin Bieber would make a better POTUS than that piece of excrement.

[Katashi_itto]

15. True but South Park hasn't gotten around to Ted Cruz yet.

[red dog 1]

9. Should Canada also apologize for Neil Young, Tommy Chong, Dan Aykroid, & John Candy?

[Katashi_itto]

16. You dont follow South Park, do you?

[red dog 1]

17. I bought Season One

Haven't seen any other episodes

I don't follow it because I can't follow it.(No satellite, no cable)

[Katashi_itto]

18. Thats where the Bryan Adams reference comes from.

[red dog 1]

22. Thanks for clearing that up

[madinmaryland]

14. No. Canada needs to apologize for Rush (the band).

[MH1]

6. Haven't listened in a while, but if Summer of 69 comes on the radio,

I still turn it up.

I am also guilty of liking a couple Spandau Ballet songs. And changing the channel when almost anything by the Rolling Stones comes on. Meanwhile my current go-to on my MP3 player is The Offspring. Figure that one out.

[red dog 1]

7. Can you believe the Rolling Stones are still touring?

The Stones are my favorite band (still in existence) with the Bryan Adams band coming in second.

However, I think I read somewhere that the Stones will be making their last tour this year.

10. he did a song about Princess Diana

which was apparently never released. It was played some in the Twin Cities though.

Back to you?

or

Run to you?

Probably this one

[red dog 1]

19. "Back To You" and "Run To You" are both Bryan Adams songs

[hfojvt]

23. I never heard of it

I see it is from the late 1990s. There was a time in the late 1990s when I ordered two new CDs. The latest by Michael W. Smith and also by Bryan Adams. I was surprised when both CDs kinda sucked. Pretty sure I had liked everything else those guys had done for over a decade, but I was giving two thumbs down, and was kinda done listening to their new stuff. If I had a choice I was kinda done listening to ANY new stuff by anybody.

[Aristus]

11. Big fan. I don't get the hate.

His music isn't genius, but it's listenable and enjoyable. He's a thoroughly decent guy IRL, unlike Justin Bieber. Adams' first album was released when he was about 20; not too much older than Bieber, so the Bieb's douchey behavior has less to do with youth, and more to do with being a douchebag. Adams has campaigned all over the world for human rights.

Favorite songs: Not the radio hits, oddly. I like "Do I Have To Say The Words?" from Waking Up The Neighbors, and "Another Day" from Into The Fire.

[red dog 1]

20. Not only has he campaigned all over the world for human rights,

I think he also has donated all profits from his photography work to charity as well, and he has done many concerts for various charities too.

I don't get the hate either.

Bieber is a talentless douchebag.

[hfojvt]

24. Adams released an album at a young age

but, unlike Bieber, he did NOT become a big star, not as big as Bieber at any age. Adams to Bieber is like Bay City Rollers to the Beatles. I think Adam's first big hit was Heaven. As I remember Casey Kasem telling it, Heaven was released twice, and Adams promoted it like crazy. Only the second time did it become a fairly big hit. It went to #1. Run to You and Cuts like a knife were top 20s.

Bieber is 21 now, he became a big star five years ago, when he was 16, was making hit singles from the time he was 14.

[Aristus]

27. I disagree. Each is a big star to his respective audience.

Bryan Adams appealed to the teenage rocker who wasn't quite ready for metal, and to young adults.

Justin Bieber's audience is screamy girl teeny-boppers.

Two vastly different audiences, but each is huge in his niche.

[hfojvt]

28. Bieber is worth $190 million at age 21

Adams is worth $65 million at age 57.

How much was Adams worth at age 17? or even at age 25? Adams did not experience near the fame and fortune that Bieber did at a young age, and does not have near the fortune even now. More than I expected though. He may be a good investor or bigger than I thought.

[Aristus]

30. The argument wasn't over financial worth.

It was over the relative musical merit of each, and whether Canada had anything to apologize for.

If I were Canada, I'd be proud of Adams, and hiding under a rock out of shame over Bieber.

[hfojvt]

33. it WAS about that

but in Calvinball you get to move the goalposts.

Actually, my argument was about your statement that Adams had the same career path as Bieber. You said that Adams started at a young age, so Bieber's youth was no excuse.

I am only saying that Bieber got more famous at a younger age than Adams ever did.

As for Bieber, well if he is the worst example of a nation, then the nation is doing pretty good I would say. It's not like he's a mass murderer. As far as his music, well I listened to some of his hits on the YT. Not gonna run out and buy a CD, but not completely repulsive either. In fact, I rather like this one

[mythology]

12. I wouldn't call myself a fan

I have a couple of albums, but based on itunes count, my favorites seem to be House Arrest and There Will Never Be Another Tonight.

But before I call myself a fan of somebody, I need to have at least several albums.

[Grantuspeace]

13. Fits Ya Good

Fits Ya Good. Sorry, I can't post a link.

[red dog 1]

21. I haven't heard that one

[Grantuspeace]

25. The original version rocks.

Couldn't find it on YouTube.

[shanti]

26. Run to you

and Summer of 69. I only had one album of his, and both of them were on it, but i can't remember the name of the album for the life of me. It was out in 1984 or so.

[red dog 1]

29. The only Bryan Adams album I ever bought was a "Best of Bryan Adams" CD,

which contained a DVD of his "Live From Lisbon" concert.

I don't even know where the CD is today; but I've played the "Live From Lisbon" DVD at least 25 times..

.He sure knows how to put on a live show.

He & his band still tour regularly, and he's no youngster anymore.

[Iggo]

31. This one, 'cause of the many cool mask-es in the video.

[mackerel]

32. I liked the first album alright...cuts like a knife & summer of 69

make me smile.

[red dog 1]

34. Anything that makes you smile,

is good.

(I always smile looking at "Your Sunday LOLCats&quot

Did you know that every time you smile, the brain sends signals for Endorphins to be produced by the central nervous system & the pituitary gland that are a natural "sedative"
(as opposed to adrenalin, which makes you "wide awake" like coffee)

Anyhow, smiling is good for you.

Laughter is even better for you..
.Google "Anatomy of an Illness" by Norman Cousins
He had a very painful, un-treatable illness, and he found that one "belly-laugh" equaled about 10 minutes of pain relief.....It's a great book, and fun to read as well.
(I think Norman Cousins was the editor of Look Magazine, but I could be wrong about that)
