I'm not Bonochick, but I do listen to a lot of Ryan Adams
Heartbreaker is a brilliant first album, filled with a lot of country-tinged tunes
Gold has a slightly more polished, more "pop" sound, but again excellent songwriting
Demolition is a nice balance of good songwriting and some rocking tunes
Rock N Roll, as its title suggests, is a great rocking out album
Love Is Hell is eclectic and again brings the focus back to songwriting
I haven't picked up his trio of most recent albums, but from what I've heard, he's moving back toward his country roots.
You can't go wrong with a Ryan Adams album; what's easiest is to sample some things on iTunes or Amazon and see which era of his work you think you'd like best. If you like his early sound, I'd also strongly suggest you check out some Whiskeytown albums--Faithless Street, Stranger's Almanac, etc.
I think your sig might cause me to have a seizure if I look at it any longer
