Complimenting the 1994 collection SO FAR, SO GOOD, THE BEST OF ME compiles Bryan Adams's biggest hits from the '90s. In his third decade of recording, Adams earned a place along heartland rockers like John Mellencamp and Tom Petty thanks to a knack for delivering both muscular rock ("The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You") and ready-made prom/wedding songs (""Everything I Do, I Do For You"). This Canadian rocker also collaborated with Sting and fellow rasper Rod Stewart on the chart-topping theme from the film The Three Musketeers ("All For One") and with the surprisingly soulful Spice Girl Mel C. ("When You're Gone").

Fans wanting a piece of the Adams live juju get served a pair of MTV UNPLUGGED performances; the ethereal "I'm Ready" and the George Harrison-flavored nugget "Back To You." Along with old favorites like "Summer Of '69" and "Run To You" are newer compositions basted in hooks a-go-go, including the infectious early-'90s sing-a-long "Can't Stop This Thing We Started."
