Please, Ryan Adams, I want to hear my name in your mouth

I was talking with umadoshi about my love for Ryan Adams and decided to make a post explaining a little about why I like his music so much, what I think is worth listening to, and what I think you should avoid.

First, a disclaimer. I know next to nothing about his personal life. My uninformed opinion is that he's kinda jerky, but IDK. My love is only for his music.

Second, he's pretty hit or miss. When Ryan Adam is on his game, I would rather listen to no one else. When he's off in his nasally singing whiny world, it's pretty god-awful. He's my favorite musical artist. If I only got to listen to one singer ever again for the rest of my life, it would be him, but even I must admit that the man has churned out some utter shit songs. LOL

So what do I like about Ryan Adams's music?
