Apparently he did it because they disliked a few of his albums.
What a wuss.

Yeah, we already discussed that here. Methinks he's a little thenthitive, but I don't know why allmusic would capitulate to his demand. If memory serves, the only one of his early albums that received a mediocre review at allmusic was Into the Fire. Reckless got 4.5.

I like Bryan Adams, but the only 2 albums of his that I think are really good are You Want It, You Got It and Reckless. Too bad he had to get so thin-skinned about it.

You should see what happens when someone requests "Answering Bell" at one of his live shows.

I've been in the audience for one of his solo acoustic shows and have seen his douchebaggery first hand. One of the reasons I never saw him again. In 10 more years he really will look like the Crypt Keeper.

I knew this was a familiar discussion. We talked about it in the Christopher Cross thread a couple of years ago :

I hate all that garbage from the movie-soundtrack era, but I do like the anthemic "There Will Never Be Another Tonight", which is a throwback to his early style:

Never liked his music - even back in high school when he was popular, I always thought his songs were lightweight piffle. And I only use Allmusic when I want to check on an artist's discography, and I would never care about his, so, who cares? Still, I hope this doesn't set a precedence.
