Bryan Adams - Under-rated artist in US

True most people know a song or two from Bryan Adams. Probably could bellow the themes to Everything I Do..., Summer of '69, Heaven but most people don't realize just how many hit tunes Mr. Adams has sang. I read somewhere that he had 18 top 25 hit singles and 10 top 10 singles. He just came out with his eleventh album full of new songs (named 11). Most people in the United States would have no idea of this as he can't seem to get a recording studio to support him in the US anymore.


If anyone has seen him in concert, he puts on a wonderful show. He seems to be a normal, down to earth guy that seems to do things the right way. So does his band that has been very loyal to him over the years. He dresses like your everyday man and frankly sings like it too. He gives a ton of money to various charities and causes throughout the world. He has published books on photography with a portion of the proceeds going to breast cancer. He writes songs for numerous artists and has coupled with all of the big pop singers to sing duets. So why isn't he lauded like some of the other singers of his era who have not had nearly the success or staying power that he has had. The rest of the world seems to know and still care about Adams - why not the US.


OK if none of the above has convinced you that Bryan needs to be acknowledged for all he has accomplished, he has recently dated Bond girl Caterina Murino and is currently back to dating Elle McPherson, enough said!
