The things you find out.......

[Bainn]

So there we were, Harmony and I enjoying a lovely Sunday afternnon together.  All is going tickety-boo until the end of "Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves", when that god awful song by the Canadian smugness that is Bryan Adams plays over the end credits.

The trauma is compounded, when after complaining like any right-minded person would, I point out my liking of Bruce Springsteen.

Harmony, apparently, "Dislikes" Springsteen.

So, is that Two years of our lives down the drain or is reconciliation possible ?

While we "Discuss" this, who in your opinion is the better singer/songwriter ?

Not a huge fan of either, but this isn't really a contest is it?

True, Adams could not possibly provide any competition for Springsteen.

Is that the 2nd ever thing we have agreed on ?

Sigh...

Bryan Adams easily better than Springsteen who has had only a handful of hits. Go up to anyone in the street and ask them to name their favourite Springsteen songs and they will go Born in the USA, Philadelphia and umm, umm whereas Bryan Adams songs everyone can name numerous hits.

! !

Even Harmony blows that theory out of the water, she can only think of 1 "Hit" Adams has had !

[Harmony26]

To be fair, I did say I could not think of the titles of any further hits by Bryan Adams, but I enjoy listening to his music.

FYP

Have a look at the albums The Boss has sold. 

Adams has had two songs that anyone remembers.  One of them only because it's so bloody awful.

Behold, the dawning of a new age for mankind, kinboshi and I agree, world peace and the end to all suffering is here.

A damn fine post kinboshi.

Although rather embarrassed to admit it, I quite like Brian Adams after seeing him at Wembley Stadium about 10 years ago (although do find that song very annoying).  I like Springsteen too.

[Harmony26]

I'd be the first to agree about Springsteen's success as regards albums and concerts sold/sold out. I also rate him as a songwriter but I simply prefer Adams and his music.

[Bainn]

That's pushing the description of music to the limit surely ?

to be fair, there's a lot worse than Bryan Adams' music out there - at least he sings proper songs with lyrics and plays the guitar.  Not like this modern pop rubbish and silly dance music.   

Oh dear, I have finally turned into my parents.

A fair point, but this modern stuff is only slighty more crap than the Canadian smugness.
