The official Ryan Adams appreciation thread

[trackaghost]

Many moons ago, I bought an album called Strangers Almanec by Whiskeytown in a record sale for a £1 because I had heard the band mentioned alongside The Jayhawks, who at the time were my favourite band.

I've been a huge fan of Ryan Adams ever since, although I did go off him a little during his Rock N Roll period (that said Love Is Hell came out at the same time and that's superb)

I think Heartbreaker is still my favourite album, but this year Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights have reconfirmed my faith in him, and they are probably my favourite albums of 2005.

C'mon, I know there are loads of Ryan fans on here now, come forth and declare your fandom!

I first discovered Ryan in this rad little record store near my house. I was there buying a bunch of CD's, and randomly picked up Gold. I think that was back in 2002. I tend to buy music I've never heard of, like that, I've discovered some great artists that way. Anyway, I've since purchased every album Ryan has put out, though I only have one Whiskeytown album, Pneumonia. I can honestly say I seriously love all of his albums. Yes, I even love most of Rock N Roll. I think Ryan is a unique and talented, creative, and amazing artist. He's definitely been my favorite for years now.

I really can't pick a favorite album. A favorite song is hard as well, there are just so many that blow me away.

I first discovered Ryan Adams less than a week ago after the high praise bestowed upon him by the likes of Sharon. I caved and bought his new album, which I am totally loving. I ordered some other ones and should get them in two or three days. That is all for now.

Yeah, mine too.

Ryan Adams is in my top five favorite artists. I've loved him since Whiskeytown. And it doesn't hurt that he's a North Carolina boy, either.

Some of my favorite songs are:

Oh My Sweet Carolina
Dear Chicago
Somehow, Someday
Come Pick Me Up
This House Is Not For Sale
When the Stars Go Blue
La Cienega Just Smiled

Well, the list could go on and on. He's amazing. Period.

Awesome, which ones did you order sir?

I ordered Heartbreaker, Gold, Demolition, and Cold Roses.

Hopefully they're good, I didn't get Rock N Roll because I didn't read good things about it.

I meant who should start the thread about everyone's favorite albums of 2005, dude.
