I requested his theme song from Robin Hood to dance with a girl in the Sixth Grade. I thought it was so romantic of me.

Billy Squier's "Everybody Wants You"
has one of the most indellible riffs in rock history.

Ba-dum-dum
Ba-dum-dum
Ba-dum-DA-dum-da-dum-dum

I ALWAYS turn that one up.
So, I can relate, Bob.

I can't remember the last time I've heard anything by Bryan Adams.

And I live in Canada.

Odd.

I turned up "Run To You" this last weekend. I don't apologize for it either.

I'm not being contrarian to be contrarian, 'cause I actually enjoy it, but Europe's "Final Countdown" is far from the worst song ever.

Outside of the fact that it's not the Stones, I can't fuck with it. A, it's your wedding; b, nothing wrong with BA. But, yeah... No first-dance-with-Stones, at LooGAR's wedding?

Smashing Pumpkins Luna was the first dance song at my wedding...our first date that did not consist merely of hanging out at the bar or eating Chinese food was a Smashing Pumpkins concert...so it fit.

Hey...if its gotta be stones, you could always go with Wild Horses. Unless you're marrying a black chick in which case, you'd be remiss not to use Brown Sugar.

And, yeah, I hate Bryan Adams. He's on the mount rushmore of bad canadian music along with Celine Dion, Rush and Avril Lavigne.

I don't think I can read this thread any more; I'm beginning to get ill. I'll go back to listening to Songs About Fucking, thanks.



My comments weren't meant to have a "holier than thou" tone, but Bryan Adams is one artist I really can't stand.

You guys work way too hard at NOT being cool, when in fact it seems to come quite naturally.

Man, was I a sucker for the Robin Hood song in middle school (elementary school? -- what year was that movie?).

And FT, why was Bryan Adams available to come up on random?

"Reckless" was a steel-plated hit monster. Canada's "Born in the USA." You were going old-school Adams with "Knife."

You see, Stacey, THAT'S why this is a dirty little secret. I just checked my files, and I have a grand total of three Bryan Adams tunes:

"Cuts Like a Knife"
"Summer of '69" (a.k.a. "monty's Theme")
"Heaven" (LooGAR Nuptuals Remix)
