Studio albums only.

Known for his many hit songs, Bryan Adams is considered one of the greatest singers of all time. This discography list of the best Bryan Adams albums is ranked from best to worst, so the top Bryan Adams albums can be found at the top of the list. To make it easy for you, we haven't included Bryan Adams singles, EPs, or compilations -- only studio albums.

Canadian rocker Adams had his first commercial success with the 1983 album Cuts Like a Knife, which produced an eponymous single, along with "This Time." Later releases saw him expand into adult contemporary territory, such as Waking Up the Neighbors - in spite of its rebellious moniker, it spawned the soft rock ballad "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You."

If you think that the greatest Bryan Adams album isn't high enough on the list, then vote for it, so that it receives the credit it deserves. Make sure that you don't just vote for critically acclaimed albums; and if you have a favorite Bryan Adams album, then vote it up, even if it's not necessarily the most popular. From Reckless and Room Service to Into the Fire, this list includes all of the legendary singer-songwriter's greatest full-length studio projects, especially his latest 2022 LP So Happy It Hurts.
