We always see news about top songs of visitors of websites or radio stations
or readers of magazines with some songs of Roxette in them on front page of TDR.
So We (Members Of TDR) can do the same!
Let’s write our favorit songs of Roxette here and count the votes at last.
We can put the results on the front page as our own list of favorits.
*Top 20 of Roxette by members of TDR*

Please write your top 20 here and choose one song as the best song of Roxette.
After 20 days I will count the votes and put the results at the front page.
The song that you write as the best song has 5 score and the other songs have
1 score.

This is my top 20:

Well, my Top 10 is quite accurate (for the moment), but beyond that, there’s too many ties and it’s just too tough to decide.

Yashar said on :

@temps daurats & Nancyboy:
Maybe you can select only 5 songs ,but it’s a hard work for most of the fans.For example I love 10 songs of my top 20 exactly the same as each other.

Why 20?
It’s near the tracks of a standard audio cd,and after counting the final results,we can call it the greatest hits of TDR.

Yashar said on :

@Brian:Your idea has a great problem:
Most of the fans select songs without a certain order.I myself can’t order them according to my degree of liking them because I love some of them exactly the same.I ordered them by the date.So in these kinds of selecting,number two has the same
worth as the number 20.Can you understand me?

Brian said on :

I know what you mean... both of our calculations have it’s pro and cons...

roxtexanet said on :

@Yashar and Brian: I like Brian’s way of doing it better, although I acknowledge that it’s hard to make these very fine distinctions...
@Yashar: “Fading” rules!!!

1. Fading Like a Flower
2. Sleeping in my Car
3. The Centre of the Heart
4. The Look
5. My World, My Love, My Life
6. Listen To Your Heart
7. Almost Unreal
8. The Rain
9. Stars
10. Wish I Could Fly
11. Crash! Boom! Bang!
12. It Must Have Been Love
13. She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
14. Spending My Time
15. Half a Woman, Half a Shadow
16. Crush On You
17. Things Will Never Be The Same
18. What’s She Like?
19. Real Sugar
20. (Do You Get) Excited?

Got through the whole thing and realised I’d missed “SDLHA” ! Horrors... “Entering Your Heart” was my original #20...

roxtexanet said on :

I think it’s great that everyone that has responded so far has included at least three songs in their top 20 from the last two albums... surprising, given that people keep saying over and over again how Roxette haven’t put out anything decent since “Crash! Boom! Bang!”...

temps-daurats said on :

Ok, ok... but I still feel they are too many songs, you’re gonna need an aspirin cake to deal with the counting...

Best song ever: The first girl on the moon

2.- Small talk
3.- Hotblooded
4.- I don’t want to get hurt
5.- June afternoon
6.- Secrets that she keeps
7.- Looking for jane
8.- Christmas for the Broken-Hearted (IMHBL original version).
9.- The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
10.- Crush on you
11.- Real sugar
12.- Half a woman, half a shadow
13.- Church of your heart
14.- Better off on her own
15.- Harleys and Indians
16.- The rain
17.- Joyide
18.- Fading like a flower
19.- The look
20.- Fireworks

21.- Myth

By the way, we could also vote how the points could be counted. The Top 20-40-50-100 or whatever would be more democratic, what do you think?

I can say from the latest albums, I like Centre of the Heart, Stars, 7 Twenty 7, Crush on You, You can’t put your arms around what’s already gone... and yeah. I dunno!!

Brian said on :

Hi everybody!
I am going to post an update of the Fan top 20 here soon. I understand it can be really hard to make up your personal top 20, the way I did mine was, I gave each possible top 20 song points, between one and one thousand. If I would feel two songs would tie, I thought really hard, which song of them two I would give one more point, I thought about the different things I appreciated of each song and then I was able to decide, which song deserved one point more than the other... I found this method not only to be really helpful but also to be a lot of fun! So please, please give your votes!

Roxette-atic said on :

The biggest surprice for me is that “Salvation” is on the top 20.I NEVER thought this song co reach so hight. And I was under impression that “Vulnerable” was one of the most popular songs amongst the fans (even if its not in my top 20).

Very difficult to make a decission!!! I’m not sure, if I will think the same way about the ranking as I do now .. or better said: I’m sure, if I would type the ranking tomorrow morning, it would look different to now - almost the same songs, but other positions, except from nr. 1 to 5!

Yashar said on :

I really don’t know why did some of you stop voting.
There are so many fans who have not voted yet.
If some of you don’t like voting,please write the reasons.

More votes=Exact results

Yashar said on :

20 days is over!
I counted votes:
3 scores for the best songs and 1 score for the others.
(When I counted votes by giving 5 scores to the best song,I saw that
was not a real justice and 5 is very high!)

In some cases some songs had the same scores,so I put the song with more
votes higher;and when 2 songs were equal in scores and votes,I wrote them
in the same level.

Results:
