Whats your favourite compilation with Roxette so far?? ( I say so far becasue I just know there will be more hehe)
Rarities
Dont bore Us Get To the chorus (95)
Dont bore Us Get To the chorus (USA)
Baladas En Espanol
The Ballad Hits
The Pop Hits
A Collection Of Roxette Hits ( well we dont have it in our hands yet but pretty much everyone here knows the 2 new songs already)
I would say DBUGTTC 95 or The Ballad Hits. DBUGTTC 95 feels more complete than the US version from 00. And I love Roxette ballads. If I had to pick just one I would have to say “The Ballad Hits”.

Baladas en español is not a compilation. They are versions in another language, but it was never meant to be a proper “compilation”. For me, a compilation is a CD that gathers the best songs an artist has released. I don’t know if Rarities applies here too.
My favourite is TBH/TPH, the most comprehensive Roxette compilation ever (even better than the fortcoming “Hits”). It features almost all the singles, and the design is very classy and elegant.

I think Don’t Bore Us, being the main one.... is my fave although saying that I have never played it in years....

I prefer “Dont bore us get to the chorus” it has an emotive meaning for me...

For me a compilation is a collection of older songs..desent have to be THE BEST songs...

don´t bore us. it´s just great. and you know, my friends, who are not roxette fans, told me they consider this compilation to be the best ever (in history). coz you don´t need to skip a single track.

Well, I think in a way BEA can be described as a compilation album.
However, I really liked “Don’t bore us..” but nowadays I have become so fed up with these greatest hits albums. Can’t help it...

Since the tracks on Baladas en español were all RE-RECORDED in another language, I don’t think they are old songs at all. They are the same songs, but in a totally different version.

I have nice memories connected with DBU-GTTC. Beautiful songs with beautiful indian summer of 1995. Clear blue sky, warm dry weather, coloured country, rustling leaves. So DBU-GTTC is my best compilation. And it was the first compilation.
But I must admit that TB@PH was a great idea. A Collection Of Roxette Hits with only one CD and very old fashioned tracklist and old fashioned cover looks like cheap bootleg for me.

The only compilation I didn’t have to think twice before buying was Don’t Bore Us, and it introduced me to Roxette and made me realize I was a fan of them without knowing (as Per said in his more than famous letter to this site X-D). So I’d pick that one. I also didn’t hesitate buying the Baladas en Español. The rest... euh...

DBUGTTC
...and I would have liked to have seen “I Don’t want to get hurt” released as a single.
abysmo said on September 27, 2006 00:03:
@ nate: Why they released only 3 singles and forgot I Don´t Want To Get Hurt?
roxtexanet said on September 27, 2006 03:56:
The new one. Every compilation that comes out is better than the ones before it because it drops off some songs I like less and adds ones I like more.

I prefer my own compliations the best!!!!! I make ones which haven’t got singles on, ones which just Marie sings, one which just Per sings, Per’s solo stuff etc. I just prefer album tracks to their singles. I think it’s because I’ve the singles so many times now that they do bore me sometimes....
But if I HAD to choose a release - probably 95’s DBU. It had the best new songs (YDUM, SDLHA & IDWTGH) so that one wins for me.

@ abysmo
I wish I knew, imo IDWTGH was the best out of the new 4.

DBUGTTC 95 - 4 great new songs and a an excellent package summing up the most successful part of their career.

DBUGTTC: my brother bought it for me when i didn´t know they have release this album...it was a great sorprise and great album.
TBH is also amazing
i do consider Baladas en español as a compilation, as Santi, i didn´t hesitate to buy it

Off course “BEE” is a compilation. If its not a new album with new songs in it, its a compilation.
