I started this topic just to know if the same thing happened to other Roxette fans. Roxette is my favourite band, but I also listen to other bands/artists. I am almost sure that you also like them because they sound very much like Roxette or at least, creates the same feeling when listening to their songs.
Here is the list:

1) Heart

2) Belinda Carlisle

3) Savage Garden

4) Bon Jovi (not for sure, but probably)

Other artists I like but maybe you don’t are:

Oasis

Stratovarius

Nightwish

Bee Gees (the 80s era)

Richard Marx

Aerosmith (80s and 90s)

Elton John (80s)

What about you ?????

For me there’s just one band besides Roxette that can make me feel this special way. And that’s Queen (in the original version with Freddy Mercury), though it’s a different kind of music.

Michael Jackson
Melissa Etheridge
A-ha
Bon Jovi
Pink Floyd
Asia
Bruce Springsteen
Scorpions
Simple Minds
U2

*goes to search personal cd library for more*

Oh The Joyrider i agree 100% with, but i don’t know any abot belinda only i saw her pictures wiht Per, tell me where i can find something about her...
I love Shania Twain, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Savage Garden, Ace of Base......
and i think that you should add The Beattles and Cindy Lawper in your list.......

i like:

michael jackson
die prinzen
elton john
dido (only two or three songs)
robbie williams (some of his songs but not he!)
red hot chili peppers (more the ballad songs)
dick brave

for me roxette’s music is that unique because of not just having one single hook line in a song... roxette songs work out fine because of different layers of great hook lines. the list below is a little mix of bands i like (because of their catchy songs) and bands i probably like just because i like roxette ...

I use to like Oasis and Savage Garden....

I like Marilyn Manson, I think I’m alone there...

I like all different things, I also like Kelly Clarkson, Alanis Morrisette, Third Eye Blind and Evanescence.

i think Journey, mostly for their ballads.

greetz.

hum, for me, the only group that i have all albums i can get and give me some special feelings.
is Roxette,
I Also Like:

Gyllene Tider ;) The Beatles and John Lennon, Janis Joplin, 70´s music, specially Funk.
The Carpenters, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Dido, and a Chilean 70’s band who mixed rock with south american influences:
“Los Jaivas” ( read it ” Los High Bass”, look for them ;) )

Sarah Brightman
Aerosmith
AC / DC
Different wrestler “entrance songs” from the WWE. For example: Randy Orton’s is “Burn In My Light” by Mercy Drive. Triple H’s is “Time To Play The Game” (looking up who did that).

Annie Lennox (as well as Eurythmics)
AUR (only gots one song of theirs but I play the piss outta it)

And so on down the line.

jeez, if were goin on about bands, im a massive roxette fan, but also into lots of metal, check out dragonforce, angra, sepultura........
its not just the type of music that makes a band, its the quality!

LittleSpooky: It’s Motörhead (who created HHH’s theme). They’ve even played it live at one WrestleMania. Can’t remember which one...

motorhead have played twice at wrestlemania for hhh.
love me wrestling i do:P

Well, me too ... but I don’t love Triple H :)
(nor Motörhead)

some favs:

- Roxette & related
– Savage Garden & Darren Hayes solo
— Robbie Williams
—- Sasha (Alexander)
—– Blur
—— Bon Jovi
——- David Charvet
——– Madonna
——— Bryan Adams
———- Gloria Estefan
———– Richard Marx

hey strest ur not wrong there!

My favourite bands are only ROXETTE and QUEEN like Marlene.

Marlene, have you got any Queen bootlegs? We can do some exchange together.

hhh is one yummy man :)

ah a hhh fan eh, steph will have you 4 that one!:P

@Breathe8: Unfortunately not. :-( The only thing I am collecting this far are the albums.

I like many things but I don’t think that all of them suit a roxfan’s taste. That’s why I think that what you could like would be:
The Corrs, Gyllene Tider, Crowded House, Bryan Adams, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Cars, Blondie, Suzanne Vega (some songs), Elisa (Italian singer who sings in English), Morten Abel (Norwegian singer), The Beatles, The Tuesdays (Norwegian as well), Sau (Catalan band), Mecano (Spanish Band), Mylène Farmer (some songs).
I think if you give it a try to some of this you will definitely like :)

My favourite HHH WrestleMania moment is probably when he pedigreed Ultimate Warrior ... who no-sold it :)

I kinda doubt they’ve got that much in common with Roxette, but I really like Weezer, U2 & Weeping Willows.

My favourites next to Roxette are - in my opinion - very untypical of a Roxette fan:

-) The Who (especially the albums “Live at the Royal Albert Hall”, “Who´s next”and “Quadrophenia”)
-) Deep Purple
-) Rainbow
-) Johnny Cash (his albums produced by Rick Rubin)
-) Stereophonics
-) The Beatles (album “Rubber Soul”)
-) Led Zeppelin

I love this thread.
Savage Garden “To The Moon And Back” and esp. “Two Beds And A Coffee Machine” are super songs!

If only Savage Garden had stayed together and made a couple more fantastic albums - but it obviously wasnt meanc to be - but they rock!

Savage Garden
Ace of Base
The Beatles
Green Day
Evanescence
James Blunt
Alanis Morrisette
The Rasmus

oh yes - The Rasmus rock! Had them on in the car yesterday and today - have seen them a few times in London after first seeing them in stockholm supporting the RS tour...

Rooster are another proper prop rock band for me too...

If you are swdish and love Gessles stuffs you must love Lars Winnerbäck too. Anyone agree?

Yes, I do!

Wow Santi, I love Mylène Farmer! Didn’t expect to see her name here... And Suzanne Vega is comming to Novi Sad - Exit festival this summer. I might get a chance to hear her live. I like some songs of hers too.

I like so many different musicians but none even close to Roxette. I’ll name few that I listen to most, other than electronic music...

Sting/Police
Pet Shop Boys
Kerber (Serbian)
EDDA (Hungarian)
Martika
Kim Wilde
ABBA
Boney M
Fleetwood Mac...

I like Roxette and I also like Eva Braun (very popish and nice) and Van Gogh (more rock, I’d say) from Serbia :P

Mylène rocks, especially in concert!! :D Hope to be able to ever attend one concert of hers :(

My list (not in strict order, I guess, but Nr. 1 is Nr. 1!):

Roxette & related
Savage Garden & Darren Hayes solo
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
The Rasmus (gonna see them live on Wednesday!)
ABBA
The Beatles
Shakira
Patrik Isaksson

List goes on with some local groups probably not known in non-Spanish speaking countries:

Vilma Palma e Vampiros (argentine band)
Los Tipitos (’new’ argentine band, influenced by a friend)
Los Abuelos de la Nada / Andrés Calamaro (argentine 80’s band / argentine songwriter, very popular in Spain as well)

Not that I like these groups [much], but I’ve found that many people who likes Roxette also listens to:
