***I’m surprised like others that “The Look” didn’t make it! But, when you have SO many great songs in your catalogue... these things happen (-:
mussel said on March 4, 2008 11:08:
sorry but is that a good way:
“I have used the songs with the most ’1st Place’ (listed first) and ’2nd Place’ (listed second) votes, so there are two songs per album.”
why did we choose three songs for every album if the third one gets no points - don’t get it...
Remco said on March 4, 2008 13:55:
Interesting that I do not select anything from my favourite Rox-album (C!B!B!) and my all-time favourite song is not there either...
Anyway:
1. Listen to your heart
2. She doesn’t live here anymore

1) So far away
2) Wish I could fly
I am a bit disappointed that these songs have been suggested. Like many else, I can think of many better options. I have many favourites among less famous songs.

Tough tough tough
1. Spending My Time

Shame about The Look but then many other good songs made it!
Mussel - Does it really matter how the final list was drawn up? Picking 3 songs in the first round showed what everyones favourite tracks from each album was, it didnt show us what the ultimate song was going to be.
The result of this vote isnt going to be everyones favourite song.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 5, 2008 11:25:
When time allows and when voting has finished for this round, I’m going to write an article for publishing on the main page. I’ll also include a 1st, 2nd and 3rd Fave song from each album, just for information. That’s why I asked for your favorite 3 :-)
Thanks for everyone who has voted so far!!!

My favourite song ever is Listen to your heart - it is very touchy and means the atmosphere of freedom, love that is wilder than the wind. And I adore The rain -that music is so pleasant to hear!!! :) And I have my own song in Russian to
the music of Listen to your heart and I sing it every day! Other songs form the list are impossible not to feel entranced about. Roxette is ever my greatest passion.

So I take it the voting is closed now?! I didnt vote in the final on purpose. The choice is just too hard :(
AURYTE said on March 10, 2008 06:22:
So the voting is over. I’m waiting eagerly, which song will be the winner :P I’m too lazy to figure it out myself :)

Okay, thanks for voting everyone! The votes will be counted this morning, and the winner announced shortly!! :-)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 11, 2008 10:12:
Okay, the winning song has been revealed, but you’re all going to have to wait unitl TDR publish the story on the front page before finding out the answer!! :-)
Robbie said on March 11, 2008 11:47:
According to my counting skills “Listen To Your Heart” is the winner song, which proves in my opinion that it was a real, true voting.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 11, 2008 12:34:
Thanks Robbie! Couldn’t you have waited until the story was published before putting the winner on??
Robbie said on March 11, 2008 13:36:
My pleasure.
Big battle for Nr. 2 :
Spending My Time: 8 votes as Nr.1 and 1 vote as Nr. 2
Sleeping In My Car: 6 votes as Nr.1 and 8 votes as Nr. 2
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 11, 2008 14:06:
Yep, very funny!
Tevensso/someone, can you lock the thread now please?
Jakamoko8912 said on March 11, 2008 14:50:
There is always someone who has to go and ruin everything by being a smart arse.
Well done Robbie on ruining it.
Benji101 said on March 11, 2008 15:14:
Now I won’t be able to sleep! How in the world could “Wish I Could Fly” not take the cake? Are you people brainwashed by EMI as well or still stuck in the 90’s? For heavenly leclairs sake! Come out of your caves! Wish I Could Fly musically and poetically beats them all except Listen To Your Heart and the only reason for this is because it was some of the best Marie vocal and Jonas guitar work(s). Heck! Listen To Your Heart is Roxette’s “stairway to heaven” and Wish I Could Fly was a continuation! I can’t sleep now. I’m going to hang myself with a napkin! Grrrrrr. P.S. thanks ROBBIE! :oP”“”
Robbie said on March 11, 2008 15:43:
Since I was one of the voters I was really curios about the results. You supposed to count the votes just right after the voting, right?
The deadline was March 9, today is March 11 afternoon, and nobody seems to care to count those votes and release an article! It took me only 10 minutes to count...
Kerstin said on March 11, 2008 15:56:
Thanx Robbie :)
Honestly I don’t understand all the acting up about posting the final result. I mean, everybody with eyes, a working brain, reading and countig skills can figure out the result. If you didn’t want the result to come out then you should have made a ballot vote.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 11, 2008 15:59:
Robbie, I counted the votes yesterday morning (10th) and sent an article to TDR last night for publication. I can’t do anymore! I did count the votes on time. If I’d known that this whole Quest thing would be so much hassle then I wouldn’t have bothered. My only aim was for it to be a bit of fun.
If you wanted to know the results, you could’ve counted but kept the outcome to yourself rather than posting it on here.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 11, 2008 16:08:
Well, it seems that I’m in the minority.
If I hadn’t have spent a couple of hours counting the votes in the first place, writing a story for TDR, and actually having the idea in the first place, then I wouldn’t have been annoyed by this.
Anyway, I’m not going to get into a fight/argument over this. It’s not worth it. The result is out now.
mussel said on March 11, 2008 18:34:
hej pwbbounce, don’t take it that hard!
with your counting system everybody could check out the winner
in a very short time. i agree that it was not necessary to tell - but who cares...
you had a really great idea and it was fun to vote and to see what others may like
even though your counting system is not good ;-)
AURYTE said on March 12, 2008 06:28:
@pwbbounce: I absolutely can understand how you feel.
@others: Of course, everyone could have figured out the winner themselves, it’s not that difficult at all. But pwbbounce has said that he would announce the winner on the frontpage. This indicates that no one can publish the winner earlier!

Unfortunately, putting the story on the front page here is out of my hands.
Jasper said on March 15, 2008 05:12:
Hey thanks for putting this to the vote,
Its great to see how many roxette fans are out there and how we all have our own favourites.
Im sure many of you were like me, and found it really hard to pick favourites, there were so many songs that I could have voted for, and still to this day love.
Well I just hope that soon there may be some new songs we will be able to add to the lists, next time around. ;-)
