Reckless - Bryan Adams

You may not believe this, but there was a time when Bryan Adams was cool. Yes cool. It didn't last long though, probably about one or two albums but 'Reckless' is one of the classics.
I remember heated debates on the school yard about who was the better performer, Bryan or Bruce. At the time, Bryan was preferred over Bruce. His songs were catchier, had more guitar and sung about kids wanting to Rock. What was there not to like?
....but then, slowly but surely, Bryan Adams descended into AOR hell. By the time THAT single hit the airwaves his fate was sealed. And boy did it go on. And on. And on.......
But forget all that. 'Reckless' is a great no frills rock album; 'Run To You', 'Heaven', 'Summer of 69', 'One Night Love Affair', 'Somebody' and 'It's Only Love' are all rock standards and all came from 'Reckless'. You shouldn't need anymore evidence than that!
