You Want It You Got It Songs Ranked
You Want It, You Got It is the second studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, released on 21 July 1981 by A&M Records. This was the album that established the sound that Adams has retained throughout his recording career. Unlike Adams’ debut album where he and Jim Vallance played most of the instruments themselves, You Want It You Got It was recorded live in the studio. The album was recorded at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec over a two-week period during the spring of 1981 and was mixed at The Power Station in New York City. The album was originally to be titled Bryan Adams Hasn’t Heard Of You Either (due to critics’ indifference to his first album and singles) but Adams’ sense of humor didn’t make it past the gatekeepers at the record company, who opted for the safer title. Here are all of You Want It You Got It songs ranked.

10. No One Makes It Right
“A good dose of musical ideas were tried on the Bryan Adams . I think it’s good for a pop artist to start out this way. Gives the artist a chance to find out what style of music works best for them.”
9. Fits Ya Good
“It’s a real treat to play “Fits Ya Good” for those who do not expect to hear a thunderous rock assault from present-day wimp Bryan Adams. If you gravitate toward that live-in-the-studio sound without the over-production, you need this album in your collection.”
8. Last Chance
“In the case of Bryan Adams here it would seem he made that choice rather quickly. His career would be that of a mainstream,guitar based pop/rocker.”

7. Coming Home
“So yes to a degree there is a tad bit of Bryan being mildly imitative here and somewhat bound by his influences. At the same time what he does with them is very likable. His voice is raspy but gentle.”
6. You Want It, You Got It
“This album being Adams’ sophomore effort is a less commercial effort than the more familiar works that follow, but the quality of the music is there. There surprisingly is a lot of depth on this particular album.”
5. Don’t Look Now
“The track “Don’t Look Now” has a distinct Jackson Browne feel to it – it does remind of “Running on Empty”. ‘Don’t Look Now’ also reminds me as a pre-quel to another Adams classic called ‘This Time’ that will follow on the third album.”

4. Tonight
“Most amazing is TONIGHT. By this he almost established his own vocal style aptly using subtle keyboard arrangemnt with economized vocal part. So although it did not sell well it has full of hidden explosives that led to his huge success for twenty years.”
3. One Good Reason
“Most fans starting to build a Bryan Adams collection probably won’t start with this album, but I would say why not? This album will also give you many great singles that have been omitted on the greatest hits and live albums. Highly recommended!”
2. Jealousy
“The song “Jealousy” is also something a little different than you will hear on many Adams albums. Curry and Mandel’s drumming and keyboards really shine on it this song. Nice bass work followed by some cool guitars mark the start of “Tonight” and some bold lyrics that say “Who you gonna run to now that your (butt) is on the line…” followed by some great range in Adams’ vocals.”
1. Lonely Nights
“Bryan, like Michael Bolton, Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart and others, has since sold out and become a ballad singer, but this proud album reflects a very different approach. His talent is showcased here in the songwriting, the raw rock and roll sound and his trademark voice.”
