He completely jumped musically, although I did like "Can't Stop This Thing We've Started" from 91. Run To You Heaven Somebody It's Only Love One Night Love Affair Can't Stop This Thing We've Started Summer Of '69 catlover79 01-17-2008, 06:14 PM ^ I can't stand a lot of the 1990s stuff either. Dean Winchester 01-17-2008, 06:42 PM ^ I can't stand a lot of the 1990s stuff either. yea, he went a little too far into the Michael Bolton vein after "Everything I Do" (yea, I know Heaven was a ballad too, but he was still mainly rock). I've heard his recent material has been back to basics but I haven't heard anything new from him since the mid-90's. catlover79 01-18-2008, 01:02 AM yea, he went a little too far into the Michael Bolton vein after "Everything I Do" (yea, I know Heaven was a ballad too, but he was still mainly rock).

I run screaming from the room whenever it comes on. :lol: I own the greatest hits - So Far So Good, and it's awesome. The post-1991 stuff is not included. :lol: Nighthawk76 01-18-2008, 01:09 AM I'm not a big Bryan Adams fan. I've always thought he sounded sounded like a soft rock version of Def Leppard (probably the Mutt Lange influence). However, I do like his song "Heaven". catlover79 01-18-2008, 01:11 AM I really liked the DJ Sammy remake of Heaven as a high energy dance song. :rock: Nighthawk76 01-18-2008, 01:19 AM I really liked the DJ Sammy remake of Heaven as a high energy dance song. :rock: Who is DJ Sammy? :lol: I know of only one Sammy...the one and only Red Rocker!!! :rock: catlover79 01-18-2008, 01:28 AM Who is DJ Sammy? :lol: I know of only one Sammy...the one and only Red Rocker!!! :rock: Sammy Hagar?? :rock: Here's some info about DJ Sammy I found on Jim Vallance's website (he co-wrote Heaven with Bryan Adams): Heaven Recording Artist: DJ Sammy and Yanou Featuring Do Writers: Jim Vallance Bryan Adams Date Written: 1983 Albums: Heaven / 2001 December Charts: After entering the German, Spanish and Austrian charts in January 2002, DJ Sammy's version of "Heaven" eventually appeared on a total of 19 national charts, some of which are noted below: #1 - UK Chart / October 31, 2002 (entered chart at #1) #1 - South Africa Airplay Chart / 2002 #1 - Australia Aria Dance Chart / 2002 #1 - Billboard Club Play Chart / USA / 2002 #3 - New Zealand Top 40 Chart / September 2002 #3 - Ireland Top 20 Chart / November 2002 #4 - Australia Aria Singles Chart / 2002 #5 - France Single Chart / 2005 #5 - Netherlands Single Chart / 2003 #8 - Billboard "Hot 100" Singles Chart / August 2002 #12 - Netherlands Mega Top 100 #16 - Spain Top 40 Chart / January 2002 #24 - German Top 40 Chart / January 2002 Awards: 2002 - ASCAP Pop Award / one of the most played songs on U.S. radio 2003 - ASCAP Pop Award / one of the most played songs on U.S. radio 2003 - Socan International Achievement Award (Canada) 2002 - Silver Disc Award / UK 2002 - Platinum Disc Award / New Zealand 2002 - Gold Disc Award / New Zealand Originally written in 1983 for the film "A Night In Heaven", the song "Heaven" later appeared on Bryan Adams' Reckless album (1984). That album, and Bryan's "Heaven" single, both reached #1 in the USA and Canada in 1985. I was quite surprised the first time I heard DJ Sammy's "dance" version of "Heaven" on my car radio in April or May 2002. I didn't even know the song had been covered! At first I thought the heavily synthesized arrangement sounded dated, a throw-back to the mid-80s production style of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. After a few listens however, it began to grow on me. Adams and I traded emails during the summer of 2002, incredulous as the song climbed higher and higher on the U.S. charts (it eventually peaked at #8). Then, in the autumn of that year we were delighted to see the single reach the very top of the UK charts -- in fact it entered the British charts at #1, a rare occurrence. DJ Sammy's version of "Heaven" also charted in Canada, Brazil, Slovenia, The Netherlands, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and a dozen other countries.
