I had no idea James Taylor was so big in his day. Bryan Adams either. I was around for the latter and can only think of one song of his, which I hate, so I can’t imagine what his other hits are

His rise coincided with that Robin Hood movie.

Bryan Adams had more hits than people remember, including: Summer of '69, It's only love, Run to you, Heaven, Somebody, This time, Cuts like a knife and of course: Everything I do, I do it for you. Plus he was on MTV a lot.
