I was in school when 18 Till I Die released . This album was so epic for us . It was edgy and cool and also soft and romantic .. perfect for all the teenage angst and the misdirected rebellion , and of course the epic feeling of falling in love ! The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me .. so sexy ! I Wanna Be Your Underwear ... dangerous ! Have You Ever Loved A Woman .. images of Johnny Depp and fairytale romances .. and ‘ close dancing ’ with your crush . I haven ’ t really listened to Bryan Adams in a long time but if you play this album I think I will be able to sing along to every song .
Sajith Satya Guitarist & Composer
A huge fan of his voice and music . As a kid , during my road trips with my family , songs such as ' Everything I do ' , ' Please forgive me ' and obviously ' Summer of 69 ' would always play on my dad ' s stereo , from singing along to his entire album with my family and to eventually picking up the guitar and learning his songs , he ' s been a huge inspiration musically . I still think ' Summer of 69 ' was one of the first few riffs I learnt on the guitar . Yes , I still do listen to him cause his songs are timeless and Golden , they connect to me on a personal level and reminds me of all the great memories I made while listening to his music !

A few months ago , when I was at sound check for Anirudh Ravichander ’ s show at the Wembley Arena in London , I noticed a dusty little piece of paper taped to the stage floor . When I looked closer I realised it was a set list from Bryan Adams ’ show at the very same venue two weeks earlier . So as an ardent fan , I quietly ripped the piece of paper off and put it in my bag .

Who doesn ' t love us Canadians ?!! Hehe . And then hes Bryan Adams ! But I wasnt exposed to his music growing up . I suppose i heard him for the very first time in as late as 2007 ! And in my mind , the raspyness and soul in his voice would perhaps be voice dreams for thousands of singers . Its then that i perhaps went through his entire discography and on loop for some 3 months . My favorite would have to be Lonely Nights .
Sangeet Haldipur Singer & Composer
If you ’ re born in the 80s , there ’ s no way that you wouldn ’ t know about the pop-rock sensation Bryan Adams . I ’ m Ready , Heaven , are some of his works which I dig . I , in fact had the great fortune of meeting him when I was performing with “ Aasma “ and we were asked to open for his shows in Delhi and Bengaluru . Was so chilled out and funny ! He just knew the pulse of his audience which reflected in his music and that for me is a gift for any artist .

If you ’ re like me from the MTV generation , you ’ ve definitely listened to & loved Bryan Adams music ! I ’ ve been fortunate to have met him on one of his trips to India and have a great conversation about music . Remember him talking about how the Blues influenced him in his guitar playing and songs . Favourite songs - Cant stop this thing we started , All for love , Run To You . And My most favourite being - Back To You ( Unplugged Version )
