We play just five songs from an artist's catalog - from all the albums, the singles, the live albums. The music game is called "Play Me 5".

Can we hear a band or performer in five songs, and find the reason - a bit of the understanding - as to why they are who they are and why they matter in the rock and roll continuum? 

That’s it.  Let's go. This episode, it is Bryan Adams.  

Why does Adams, a rock and roll singer from Canada, have a place in rock and roll history?  Or does he? Reckless was a huge album.  Cuts Like a Knife had a pretty good pop/rock/heartland vibe too. Five songs. That's the rule.  Agree or disagree as you please.

Five songs that do two things:

1. Give a representation of the artist - the musician - the band - the singer. 

2. Find songs that reveal a bit of the magic of the performance or the musicians.  Or both.
