Ok, people. Appreciate.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm confused.

 

[phanan]

One of the better late 80's/early 90's pop groups...

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm still confused.













ok, fine, I had one of their cds, the one with The Look on it, so sue me

Ha, I knew it.

I had the first two discs. I remember having them back in college. I did eventually sell them off.

Ah, memories.

 

[Dalton]

Confused? Selling them off?

FFS. I SAID APPRECIATE!

 

[phanan]

Don't worry, I saved the best songs on a CDR. I think that shows I appreciate them enough.

I got the cassette single for "Joyride" from a box of cereal. I bet I still have it somewhere.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Never owned any of their CDs (I was just a little kid when they were big), but I remember hearing a few of their songs on the radio quite a bit. I don't mind them, they had some good music . I think my favorite song might be "It Must Have Been Love".

Oh man - this thread is tailor made for me! I love me some Roxette. I must say I am a bit sick of the multiple 'Greaest Hits' they've released recently ('Dont Bore Us Get To The Chorus', 'The Ballad Hits', 'The Pop Hits', 'Roxbox' '20 Hits' etc) however everytime I get pissy at the lack of new material I dip back into 'Have A Nice Day' or 'Crash! Boom! Bang!' and the world is a happier shinier place.

Instant Roxette top 10 favourites list!

1. Almost Unreal
2. The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye
3. Fireworks
4. Wish I Could Fly
5. Spending My Time
6. Joyride (album version only!!)
7. June Afternoon
8. Perfect Day
9. Salvation
10. Listen To Your Heart

Absolute pop genius.

 

[Zoots]

Hello, you fool I love you
C'mon join the joyride
Join the joyride

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

How did I know Zoots would somehow appear?

 

[Zoots]

Early 90s pop! Can't beat it!

 

[The Sad Punk]

One of my friends once chased some guy around a casino because they didn't know who Roxette were.

(he had like a carton of Heineken beforehand)

 

[corianderstem]

And he goes ...

NA NA NA NA NA!
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA
SHE'S GOT THE LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zoobaby14]

My mum likes them....

I dont know what the big deal is, might go and see right now

 

[Saracene]

My first CD was Roxette's Greatest Hits, Great bubblegum pop.

 

[Cin]

I sure hope this is a misheard lyric,



"heavenly bottom , cos heaven's got another"

Seriously - this thread just got me busting out some Swedish moves..

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower. Fading like a rose...

Don't feel bad, I have the same cd! Actually, I'm listening to it now because of this thread

Dressed for Success
Paint
Dance Away
Dangerous

It's a classic!
