Favourite and hated Roxette songs

Everybody has favourite songs of Roxette. But is there a Roxette song you don’t like?
My favourite song is Queen of rain, and the hated one is Love is all. I simply can’t stand it. Unfortunately it is on casette and I allways have tojump it through. It is the longest song on the Crash! Boom! Bang! album.
I hoped there would be a clip from the Looking for Jane. It is a really good summer song, but there isn’t.
And to add: I didn’t like Half a woman half a shadow, but now I think it is a very good song. I don’t really understand why this change happened...

I don’t hate any Roxette’s song either,
and I completely agree about Queen of Rain - I love it from the very beginning:))

Well, I didn’t know what to make of Love Is All when I first heard it, so it’s not that high on my liking list. And I tend to listen to the POP version of Soul Deep more than the Joyride version.

I don´t hate any Rox songs but I don´t like Soul deep either.

I don’t like to listen to Pay the Price and Staring At The Ground, because I found I couldn’t remember the lyrics of them.

I don’t like Soul Deep either! I just can’t understand why they did two versions of this song.. Also View From A Hill doesn’t include to my fav-Rox songs.
I can’t say what is the best song.. there are too many. Maybe So Far Away (Tourism-version).

Love ’em all, except for “Happy Together,” which I think is kind of bad...

There are two Rox songs that i tend to skip, Make My Head Go Pop and Vulnerable!
I Love most of them, but at the moment i’m listening to Anyone and The Rain.

Hi!
Faves: Fading Like A Flower & Spending My Time.
Least Faves: Do you wanna go the whole way
and specially STARS.
For me Love Is All is a masterpiece...it’s like a proof that Roxette can make any kind of music, even a love hymn.

Funny how people’s opinions towards songs are different. Love Is All is one of the most beautiful love songs ever. It’s relaxing and doesn’t make you cry like Spending My Time or Fading Like a Flower which I love.
One my least favourite Roxette songs that I always skip is Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way. It somehow gets on my nerves. Soul Deep too... I dunno why! The rest I love, specially the balads.

I have some songs which I usually skip on the Roxette-CD’s, but I don’t hate them.
But here is the skip-list:
- Voices (PoP)
- The Heart Shaped Sea (Tourism)
- The first girl on the moon (CBB)
- Place your love (CBB)
- Love is all (CBB)
- Anyone (HAND)
- Salvation (HAND)

I’m not sure I really hate any song that Roxette has put out. Although it’s a little startling to see that some people didn’t love ’Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way?’. I think that that is one of my most loved songs off of the C!B!B! albumn. Oh well.
Here’s my choices:
FAVES:
’It Must Have Been Love’ (All time number one song! in over ten years, I have yet to get tired of hearing this song)
’Listen To Your Heart’
’Things Will Never Be The Same’
’Never Is A Long Time’
’Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way?’
’What’s She Like?’
’She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore’
’Wish I Could Fly’
’7Twenty7’
’Beautiful Things’
’Jefferson’
’Fool’ (I think one of the most kick @$$ songs from RS IMHO)
’It Takes You No Time To Get Here’
And the ones I like the least (and skip if at all possible):
’So Far Away’ (POP Version)
’View From A Hill’
’Knockin On Every Door’
’Vulnerable’
’Anyone’
’I Was So Lucky’
’Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)’
Anyhoo, those are my choices. Cheers!

lol, I LOVE love is all, vulnerable, place your love and June afternoon. i don’t hate any, my moods change from time to time and different songs suit, but some songs do annoy me especially from the look sharp album.
KixGuy said on December 22, 2002 20:51:
I don’t really like “View From A Hill”.
And I do love “Sleeping In My Car”.

I love Neverending Love and I‘m sorry, but I hate Soul deep. It‘s the worst song by Roxette.
