Bryan Adams - So Far, So Good

It almost feels like the answer to a trivia question.   Who wrote the song “Kids Wanna Rock?”  AC/DC?  No.  Def Leppard?  No.  It was Bryan Adams. It is the least likely answer of the three, but yet in many ways that sums up this album.  It gives the kids exactly what they want.  A series of reliable, but unexciting, rockers, ballads and mid-tempo songs.  Songs that you can put on if you want to feel something a little something, but not think too much. 

It’s so easy to stick the boot into Bryan Adams.  In fact, I’ve already done it myself in a previous review.  But this “greatest hits” album is probably the perfect way to listen to him.  The problem with streaming music is that you have endless choice.  The beauty of this CD is that someone has curated a selection of tracks that are his biggest hits.  It gives you all the songs of his that you’d ever want to listen to
