Not my favorite album of this - that would be Cuts Like a Knife - but this one comes pretty close. It's admittedly front-loaded, but the quality doesn't really start to wane until halfway through the second side. "Heaven," "Run to You," "Somebody," "One Night Love Affair," "It's Only Love" and "Summer of '69" were all massive hits, of course - and how many albums can you say have yielded THAT many Top 20 hits? - but I think they might managed to score even more had they wanted to continue releasing singles from this album: "She's Only Happy When She's Dancing," for one, might very well be the most addictively catchy non-single to be found on any of Adams' records, and easily could have been a Top 20 hit in its own right, and "Long Gone" has a hook that doesn't let up, either.

Just heard Bryan Adams' "Run To You", which had come at me on the radio--the car radio & when better than you gotta get away, in my case getting off work (& my classic rock radio station's YEARS IN YOUR EARS WEEKEND program spotlighting 1984--yeh, something from Van Halen's '1984' album--"Panama", (of which you gotta hear Pat Boone's version w/ a "cleaned-up" spoken line from his In A Metal Mood) followed?)...
