In the 80s, Corey Hart and Bryan Adams sort of had a friendly feud going on to see who would be the more successful Canadian singer.  Obviously, Corey did not win, but my question to you ...

Who do you like better ... Bryan Adams or Corey Hart?

NOTE:  Corey Hart had no UK Hits

They are both great singers, but I voted for Corey Hart as I remember more songs from him :)

They're both good, but I like Bryan Adams. While they've sort of got a similar sound, I think Corey Hart was more dancey (in the "867-5309" sense), and Bryan was more AOR (at least pre-1992).

BTW, it's ironic that Reckless had 6 hits, but the four that were not were good enough to have been as well (personally, I way prefer "She's Only Happy when she's Dancin" over "It's Only Love", and "Ain't Gonna Cry" is like borderline hard rock).

BTW, it's ironic that Reckless had 6 hits,

7 hits actually.  I just noticed that "Kids Wanna Rock" hit #42 on the Billboard Rock Chart :)

Neither singer is in my taste, but I definitely think Bryan Adams is a better songwriter. Corey's pretty good too, just not quite as good as Bryan!

I did hear a lot about Corey Hart in high school because my gay friend Scott had a massive crush on him!

Bryan only b/c I heard more of him than Corey. I did love "Sunglasses at Night".

Bryan Adams. 


When I think of famous Coreys from the 80s, Hart is not the one that comes to mind.

Bryan Adams. 

As stated above Corey Hart never had hits in the UK, thus making it difficult to really chose, as I have never heard of him.

Technically, Corey did have 1 UK hit ...

The dance duo Tiga & Zyntherius took "Sunglasses At Night" to UK #25 in May 2002.  It featured samples from Corey's original vocals

That record did escape my attention.

But how many other famous 80s Coreys are there?

other than Haim and Feldman? ;D

IU have a special, sentimental place in my heart for Corey Hart

Bryan Adams

I've always liked Bryan Adams... 8)

Cant stand Brian Adams....Hate his voice. His only listenable song is Summer Of 69, and even then only when someone else sings it.

As for Corey Hart....I do remember him, but only barely. Did he sing Sunglasses At Night? If so, then Ill go with him.

if not....Then Ill still go with him.








AN

Corey got my vote  8)

I forgot about this poll ;D

I re-edited the first page.  When I did this poll, I somehow forgot to include Bryan's hit "Only the Strong Survive" in the discography  :-[

Even with the re-edited first page, it is still Bryan Adams for me.

They are both great singers, but I voted for Corey Hart as I remember more songs from him :)
  "While, she's deceiving me....she cut my security...now she's got control of me....I turn to her and say....Don't mess around with a guy in shades, oh no!"


Corey Hart.....ooooooh, with those dreamy pouty lips.......ooooh, child. Especially his 'Sunglasses at Night' video......oooooh.
Someone get me a Doctor!!!


Bryan Adams has ALWAYS been a honey.  His 'Run To You' is SOOOOO seductive (and blunt), especially the music video, where he's standing in this "rain" during the guitar riffs. And he talks about it being "So damned easy...making ***** to you....."


(*scream*)

Bryan Adams,
corey Hart was Ok, but something about Bryan's voice.
