Ryan Adams or Bryan Adams?


Ever since my recent purchase of The '59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem I have been pondering whether they are more Ryan Adams or Bryan Adams.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with Ryan Adams being 1 and Bryan Adams being 10 (with 7.5 being the red do not enter  critical danger level) I think I would place them as a 6.
They are currently in the Americana section but that could well be temporary.
Your views please ladies and gentlemen.The collective viewpoint will determine their place on the CCM shelves.

  2. Hmm, sounds sort of Springsteen-gone-wrong to me and I'm no fan of Springsteen!
    You've reminded me of when I was once out with a much older friend, a nice enough man but he tried a little too hard when he mixed with younger folk. A mate of his son's walked by and they stopped to chat: "What kind of music you listening to then, young lad?" "Oh, well I went to see Ryan Adams last week" "Great," said my friend, " I love Bryan Adams".

  3. I had high hopes for this lot when they first appeared but now I would say more Bryan than Ryan I'm afraid...

  4. The jury has spoken. It will be retained,if seldom played, but removed from the American section

  5. Have you got a "should be re-charitied" section?

    1. No as that would probably constitue at least 60 per cent of my music collection!
