Which types of balads do you prefer? Dark, great, orchestric or sweet, boyband-ish

WICF, LTYH, QOR, YDUM or Salvation, Anyone, MATAH, Vulnerable

I love these first, so score is

1 : 0

for dark, great, orchestric ballads.

And what about you?

AURYTE said on :

I also prefer the first ones and VULNERABLE. Somehow last years PER writes quite bright lyrics to the ballads, with the exeption of WISH I COULD FLY, COOPER, MY WORLD, MY LOVE, MY LIFE, A THING ABOUT YOU.

girl7twenty7 said on :

I agree with AURITE: dark, great, orchestric ballads. So 3:0. I wonder where did they go, these ballads. I want to hear the new ones!

And I like Vulnerable too :)

onlywhenidream said on :

I have to say the Salvation is inspired and not boy-band like!. I’m not sure that some of the ballads fit into either of those categories.

I would say that I prefer the ones that are less power-ballads, and more sentimental ballads - Salvation, ITYNTTGH etc rather than LTYH, IMHBL etc

I always thought Salvation and Anyone ARE dark ballads.. mmh!

Sascha said on :

There we go! ;-)

Personally, I like almost all of them. But it’s defintiely time for another big majestic powerballad on Roxette’s comeback album. It’s been a long time...

Ig_Nasi2 said on :

I like more the first ones, too. My all times favourite is “Fading like a flower”.

Maciek said on :

Well, in my case, I prefer ballads like: weight of the world, everyday, never is a long time, what’s she like, see me, frist girl on the moon, things will never be the same (toursim ver.). Small, quiet songs

Great dark balads writes Marie. I en tid som var, Mellan sommar och host, Mild varm var, Herren ber..., Den dar Novemberdan, Det regnar igen, Waiting For The Rain and more. According me, Den Standiga Resan and I en tid som var are very melancholic albums. I like them. So much rains, loneliness, dark Novembers. Perfect. It´s perfect music for short dark rainy November days. I´m waiting for Marie´s new album, hope that it will be released this fall, October or November.

Roxreporter said on :

euh... in wich category belongs “See Me”, that’s my favourite balad.

setmefree4ever said on :

I like MY WORLD, MY LOVE, MY LIFE, AND VULNERABLE. I think FROM ONE HEART TO ANOTHER is just perfect. Also, the acoustic version of church of your heart. I think in order to be Roxette fans, we have to have a little bit of a romantic heart. Almost forgot....SO FAR AWAY.

ncurran said on :

roxreporter, i love “see me” too, one of my favourite roxette songs. But in many ways its more of a Marie song than a roxette song, maybe thats why i love it so much....ive always been more of a fan of marie than per.

Skye said on :

Mark down another one for the Dark, Great, Orchestral Ballad.......i prefer them too.
Roxette does them so well!

kriszta said on :

Rockballads with guitar-solo:Listen to your heart,Fading like a flower.

AURYTE said on :

I agree with you, Sasha. I want dark ballads come back!!!

gessleism said on :

It depends... I like FADING LIKE A FLOWER and A THING ABOUT YOU & EVERY DAY, and they are totally different.

KixGuy said on :

My favorite ballads are:

1. The rain
2. Crash! Boom! Bang!
3. Every day

Three ballads that move me. Great ones.

Anomymous said on :

Power ballads like WICF and LTYH are always fantastic, as well as Vulnerable

RoxHard said on :

So Far Away (Tourism version)
Never Is A Long Time
Here Comes The Weekend

I love the acoustic ballads, very delicate, sweet and tender. And I also like the big Orchestral ballads (WICF)

IV_ROX said on :

A Thing About You is just perfect!!!!!
Also I love WICF; FOHTA; Silver Blue.....they’re all good, that’s why I love Roxette!!!

Roxer93 said on :

I prefer the big powerful sounding ones like Things Will Never Be The Same (Joyride version) and Shadow Of A Doubt. I also adore ATAY.

AURYTE said on :

I really doubt that THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME (JOYRIDE) version is a ballad. The same with RUN TO YOU. On BALADAS EN ESPANOL it was a ballad, but on THE POP HITS - pop song :)

coyboyusa said on :

salvation isnt a power ballad? since when? and its far from dartk the song is all about hope and inspiration

you crashed by the gate captured my fate salvation

it almost reads like a sequel to queen of rain

as for my faves, hmm well definatelty salvation, i was so lucky, milk n toast , qor, watercolours which it seems everyone missed

coyboyusa said on :

i always thought see me was the closest thing roxette ever came to making a copy of someone elses music..it sounds so much like enya its creepy

on and entering your heart is a grerat ballad...

and btw breathe is a powerballd yes they do still make em even if they aren’t singles lol

RobS said on :

i can’t decide, i love all of their ballads, from the strong power ballads like TWNBTS and FLAF to the slow and mellow Never is a long time and the heart shaped sea, music for for every mood :-P

one point either way!!

Oldag75 said on :

Honestly, I am not being facetious. I think “Love Is All (Shine Your Light On Me)” and “Go To Sleep” are eminently appropriate songs – uplifting, melodious, respectful, romantic and joyful – to play at a memorial service for someone who has died. I think that, when I myself kick off, I will instruct that these two fine songs be played at the very brief, short-and-solemn memorial service that occurs immediately before the great big party starts !! Barbecue, beer and Roxette! Rats, I only wish I could be there.
