The A* Teens have recorded most of ABBA greatest hits. what about Roxette? will there be a new generation of swedes that is going to record any rox hits?.. Per did mention that it’ll be nice to know that someone recorded all their hits.

hopefully not....
anyway..... A teens formed like 20 yrs after the abba split..... so... you better ask this question 20yrs after roxette split

makes me want to THROW UP just thinking about it!!
I don’t think Per would want his ’masterpieces’ to be covered by a sad teen pop act with no actual musical talent or credability of their own...

i think if roxette splitted up my new fav band would be LAMBRETTA - do you know the song CREEP - perfekt!

Let’s hope Roxette will stay for a while to perform themselves.

this topic is just sinister......

LaMan said on October 29, 2004 18:28:

what about Rox in classical?

harriej said on October 29, 2004 20:32:

@coyboyusa: The sounds of Roxette and savage garden have some similarities indeed, but it is not the same.
And if i am correct, Roxette was there before Savage Garden, so it should be the other way round (Savage Garden = Roxette instead of: Roxette = Savage Garden)

savage garden or adree waters

Savage Garden are no longer anyway.

I don’t think a Roxette covers band would be that great. The cover version of I Do Believe was bad enough. :P

Wouldnt it be great when abba make a comeback with “I’m sorry”?
Than we have Abba = A*Teens and Roxette = Abba!!!
;-)

I accually think A*teens ABBA versions is better then ABBA’s, ABBA’s sounds so boring...

I would not hate Rox*teens, that would be fun...

AURYTE said on November 2, 2004 05:22:

Well, it would interesting to hear ROX*Teens or something like this. I know that there is a group named JOYRIDE and, I guess, they play ROXETTE songs.

LaMan said on November 3, 2004 18:40:

Auryte: really? Are they German?

i thought the comaprison was more alot the lines of style or sound? You can’t deny that savage garden and roxette have fairly similar histories as a group and their sound? tell me truly madly deeply wasnt’ the it must have been love of its time? and besides i always dreamed of them being the first gay roxette imitators, well i mean at least darren lol
