Not just good but by far the best

Bryan Adams, not so far so good not even so far still good, but the best - Always. Needless to say that I am a die hard fan of this legend and if at all I have ever been consistent in following one artist’s or band, it is Bryan adams. This partly because I have always emulated him and I always wanted to have a voice like his. I am even a member of bryanadmasfanclub.com.


Did you guys check out his latest album (Best of Me)


It is truly his best collection of songs.This album contains a collection of Bryan’s greatest rock songs and ballads. It has got 16 most amazing songs ever written and it is extremely difficult for me to decipher which one I like the best.


About So Far So Good


So Far So Good offers up 14 hit songs out of which 13 are of his previous hits plus a ’’Please Forgive Me, ’’ a Michael Bolton-like ballad.


The album starts out with ’’Summer of ’69, ’’ the appealing autobiographical song about the 10-year-old Adams learning to play his first guitar, and includes the greatest of all ’’Everything I Do..(Man that is just awesome)This synth-laced ballad wound up the Guinness Book of World Records after topping the British singles charts for 16 weeks.


In this album all songs written or co-written by Bryan Adams. With its over-the-top, mind boggling vocals, So Far So Good reminds me of Rod Stewart’s 1980s work when he was riding high on past achievements. Unfortunately, Adams has never had a period like Stewart’s glory years in the ’70s. Bryan Adams emerged in the early 1980s as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger and Phil and if not for Springsteen himself, Adams would have ruled pop radio and MTV in those heady days when all you needed to get by was a hook as big as the moon and a verse that promised the sun and the stars.


What I like about Adams the most is that his songs never pretended to be more than they were, and neither does this collection of his hits. SO FAR SO GOOD gets right to the good stuff, loading up with their pop-soul melodies that never quit.


SO FAR SO GOOD includes all the hits, doesn’t try to force-feed you stuff from the albums that didn’t sell and slips in only one previously untested song. And that one’s called ’’Please Forgive Me, ’’ so we will.
