History YMMV / BryanAdams

* CutSong:
** Jim Vallance noted that the s/t had several that were rejected due to being too reminiscent of his early disco period. Vallance wanted two outtakes "Jump" and "Stay" on the album but Adams felt they were not good enough. "Jump" was given to Canadian group 'Loverboy' a couple of years later. Rejected from the first LP were also "Jealousy" (which was used on "You Want It, You Got It") as well as "Take Me Back", "Straight From The Heart" and "I'm Ready" (which ended up on "Cuts Like A Knife").
** "You Want It You Got It" had "Play To Win", which was given to another artist so not used. It ended up on Reckless [Deluxe] despite its earlier recording date, due largely to the fact it would not have come out otherwise.
** "Reckless" had numerous ones - the B-side "Diana", six further outtakes that ended up on the Deluxe Edition, and "Hearts On Fire", which was rerecorded for "Into The Fire".
** "So Far So Good" was left off the compilation of the same name & later released (with overdubs) on Anthology.
** "You're Still Beautiful To Me" was cut from the reissue of 18 Til I Die, where "I Finally Found Someone" was included instead, despite the fact both would have fit on the same CD. "18 Til I Die" itself had numerous outtakes, though Adams liked two of them enough to play in his MTV Unplugged show (these being "If Ya Wanna Be Bad, Ya Gotta Be Good" and "Hey Elvis")
** "Back To You" was left off "On A Day Like Today" because he felt it did not work as well as the MTV Unplugged version. The demo was released as a B-Side to "I'm Ready"
* EndingFatigue: The album version of "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" is almost seven minutes long; it seems to finish at about five minutes in... ''then'' the piano comes back in. The music video edit (spliced with footage from ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'') notably chooses to end at the five-minute mark.

* DorkAge: The ''18 Til I Die'' album is this from a critical standpoint, though is generally well liked by fans.

* EpicRiff

* TastesLikeDiabetes: A frequent criticism of some of his ballads.

* AccidentalInnuendo: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in "Summer of '69". The song title is, in fact, referring to the sexual act, ''not'' the year. (Or played straight - WordOfGod is divided. Bryan says it's deliberate, the co-writer says it was accidental).

* FandomBerserkButton: Not for him, but Music/RyanAdams fans will get angry if you confuse the two of them.

* BrokenBase: A lot of his older fans really hate the way Adams' public reputation went from hip pop-rocker to uncool adult contemporary balladeer with "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)", from which it still hasn't really recovered, even when he's made plenty of rock records since.

** In the United Kingdom, his SignatureSong "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" was at the top of the UK Singles Chart for '''SIXTEEN WEEKS STRAIGHT'''. This makes it the longest-reigning single on a UK chart ''ever''. Probably helps the song is tied to [[Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves a film]] [[Literature/RobinHood about one of the most iconic British folk heroes ever]].

* DorkAge: The ''18 Til I Die'' album is this.
** Though to some, the quality of the songwriting outshines the somewhat ridiculous lyrics, as we're shown what a great blues player Adams can be.

* LoveItOrHateIt: So much that ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' made fun of him, with the Canadian prime minister saying the country already apologized for Bryan Adams.

** Mutt Lange's production on "Waking Up The Neighbours", which makes Adams sound like Def Leppard, is a big BaseBreaker. The lack of Jim Vallance co-writes on the album doesn't help.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Still very popular in Europe.

* LoveItOrHateIt: So much that ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' made fun of him, with the Canadian president saying the country already apologized for Bryan Adams.
