Product Description
From Amazon.com
If Bryan Adams's no-frills, blue-collar image evokes a Canadian take on Springsteen, his voice--and especially his pop sensibility--recalls Rod Stewart during his post-Faces Top 40 years. There's a deceptively effortless sincerity that masks the sometimes mundane themes of the infectious hits (the cheap nostalgia of "Summer of '69" and the various romantic concerns of "Run to You," "The Best of Me," and "Please Forgive Me") gathered on this updated hits collection. (Just five of the tracks appear on his previous So Far, So Good anthology.) It's hardly surprising to learn that Adams began his career as a tunesmith covered by everyone from BTO and Loverboy to Kiss and Bonnie Tyler. That eclecticism bubbles up throughout this modern compilation, from the flamenco flavors of Don Juan De Marco's "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" to the MTV Unplugged classical-strings-backed rendition of "I'm Ready" and the surprisingly effective electronica of "Cloud Number Nine." This collection chronicles Adams's rise from '80s AOR (album-oriented-rock) contender to '90s MOR (middle-of-the-road) superstar, thanks to his Grammy- and Oscar-winning hit "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" from Robin Hood and harmonizing with Sting and Stewart on Three Musketeers' "All for Love." --Jerry McCulley

Not All That Best,
By Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner" (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Me (Audio CD)
It just surprises me when it really comes to hits collections. They really don't seem to hit the nail on the head. It really isn't anything new here, especially when a better hits collection by the same artist was issued earlier. Bryan Adams truly knows about making great songs, but not always hits collections. During his beginnings in the 80's, he defied the feeling of Rock music and Pop combined. That still hasn't changed here. His music is still as universal, with a lot of strength that people think of a guilty pleasure. Well, he might seem like that right now, but there is more to this Canadian than guilty.The Best Of Me, the second Bryan Adams Greatest Hits collection of his big songs from the 80's and 90's. All in all, the songs here include his biggest hits from the era, including his biggest movie ballads, Everything I Do (I Do It For You) from Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? from Don Juan Demarco, as well as other great pop songs to his career. The album also includes other great songs that were also on his earlier hits collection such as Summer Of '69, Can Start This Thing We Started, and Run To You. The album also adds some other goodies such as Back To You from his appearance on MTV Unplugged, Cloud Number Nine, and Let's Make A Night To Remember. There also are some downsides to this collection, the album does overlook some of Bryan's die hard hits from the 80's such as Heaven, This Time, Cuts Like A Knife, It's Only Love his duet with Tina Turner, and other good songs. Those songs were featured on his earlier hits collection, So Far So Good from 1993. All in all, fans might seem a whole lot uninterested in this collection, but is a strong welcome to any Bryan Adams and his strong feel in music. If this was combined with the other hits collection, than more people would've bought The Best Of Me. Still, Bryan Adams quality hasn't changed in the music, and people still appreciate his music today, straight from that heart.

Fantastic!!!!!,
This review is from: The Best of Me (Audio CD)
This is an essential buy whether you are a die hard Bryan Adams fan or not, it's a must for all music-lovers. Okay, I admit it's not as good as So Far So Good which has a better collection, but its still absolutely mindblowing! Besides, So Far So Good doesn't have "Have you ever really loved a woman" which happens to be my all-time favourite. I think all the songs are great, though I like "Summer of '69 ", "Inside Out" and "I'm Ready" the best. "I'm Ready" in particular, is spellbinding. Bryan's mesmerising voice, of course, adds to the beauty of all the songs and will leave the listener speechless. If your mind is oscillating as to whether you should buy this or not, go for it, without a second thought. It is, indubitably one of the best audios I have come across in a long time. It is the perfect blend of frothy songs like "The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me" and heartmelting ones like " Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" and "Cloud #9." The title track is also impressive. All in all "Best of Me" is truly a masterpiece, the true work of a GENIUS!!!!!
