Green Aesop: "Don't Drop That Bomb on Me" is a rather unsubtle one."Anthology" is the only one to include material from all of Adams' albums up to that point (including the first two) but "Ultimate" covers some of the material released afterwards. Greatest Hits: "So Far So Good", "The Best Of Me", "Anthology" and "Ultimate".Glory Days: Deconstructed by "Summer of '69".Genre Roulette: Though his primary genre is pop-rock or ballads, Adams has experimented with Disco ("Let Me Take You Dancing", "Don't Ya Say It"), Punk ("You Want It, You Got It"), Reggae ("Reggae Christmas", "I Want It All"), Blues ("If Ya Wanna Be Bad, Ya Gotta Be Good", "Black Pearl"), Rap ("Bin There, Done That"), Dance ("Don't Give Up", "Cloud Number 9") as well as acoustic renditions of harder songs (the most famous being "I'm Ready").The mid-tempo song "Don't Drop That Bomb on Me" just makes the cut at six minutes dead and "Native Son" gets over the line at 6:04 Epic Rocking: While they are not very rock, his ballads "Let's Make a Night to Remember", "Do I Have to Say the Words" and "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" (at least the album version) all clock in at over six minutes each.Empty Swimming Pool Dive: The video for "Cuts Like A Knife" features one.From his first album onwards, he starts to reach his recognisable sound, but doesn't quite get there until his second album You Want It You Got It. Similarly, his first single "Let Me Take You Dancing", which is a disco-influenced song, with some varispeed on the vocals making him sound younger than he is.
Early Installment Weirdness: His first recordings as part of the band "Sweeney Todd" are definitely this, where he sings in a falsetto British accent that was his attempt at singing like the band's previous singer.
