For me, it's Robbie. Far more interesting music and replayability. No offense to Bryan Adam's, but much of his music sounds dated and formulaic 4/4 time pop songs.
Robbie Robertson - Robbie Robertson (1987): The first solo album from Robertson, it was his first album after the breakup of The Band. The album won two Junos including Album of the Year. It reached #12 in Canada and #38 in the USA. It went 2x platinum in Canada.
Cuts Like A Knife - Bryan Adams (1983): The third album from Adams, it was a massive success. It reached #8 in Canada and the USA and sold 1.4 million copies. It went 3x platinum in Canada and platinum in the USA. The album launched his mainstream popularity.
Evocative, atmospheric. Not a wasted second. A remarkable journey to the heights and to the depths of the soul. It’s a masterpiece. Belongs in the conversation of the top 10 greatest albums ever released by a Canadian. #RobbieRobertson
Oh man. I cannot choose between these two — both were on repeat daily. Robbie’s voice and, well, the album that introduced me to Bryan Adams (so much so, on the Cuts like a Knife tour, friends and I tried to negotiate half-price tickets, promising to leave after Adams’ set opening for Loverboy).
Robbie Robertson, no question.
Again, giving it to Bryan.
