Back in 1999 the 2 most voted songs from the album HAND (roxette’s fans nightmare lol) were the cool uptempo COY and the big ballad WICF (the 1st single from the album). Would you still consider those 2 as the best ones today or do you have a different overviews on the songs?

From a statistic made back then at the former website concering the HAND album in case you still remember it

@Th_Th
The site was most probably www.haveaniceday.nu.
If I chose two of my fav songs from the album now, they’d be LongLongTime & 7Twenty7.

I would have to say ’Anyone’ and ’Crush On You’. ’Wish I Could Fly’ and ’Stars’ would be very close though!

Pay the price, staring at the ground, nice arrangement, great melodies, very rox-styled, my fave HAND songs.

Crush on you
WICF
Staring at the ground and Pay the price (simply GREAT!)
And another big ballad: Salvation! (you need to hear it several times to like it)
MY favourite ist WFTR...a masterpiece!
I LOVE HAND!
Did I mention that before? *g*

For me: COY, 7Twenty7, I Will Take A Long Long Time and Beautiful Things;)

Its still the same, WICF is a classic and COY will live forever! Especially when those remixes come out :)
Gery said on March 13, 2003 16:12:
yes the site was the official haveaniceday site. it’s not online anymore.
according to the fans opinion the winners really were wicf and coy. i still consider these two the best two songs on the album but i also like anyone and stars.
yeah, the good old days when we still thought the history could repeat itself. still everything seemed possible, but than the lack of success became a nightmare for all of us.

If HAND would have sold 10 Million Copies, I am sure none of the fans would have said, that this album is crap.
Gosh, and today, if Roxette would sell an Ablum 5 Million or even 3 Million times we would be delighted!

Crush On You
7 Twenty 7
I Was So Lucky
Beautiful Things
Those 4 are probably my favourites.
I least liked -
You Can’t Put Your Arms Around.....
Pay The Price

Pay the price and Staring at the ground were the less voted ones...
Staring at the ground is one of the best songs they’ve ever recorded! It deserves a little of respect.

Th Th, fans said it was bad since day 1 of release... only stupid ones would change of idea relying on the sales.
Just for the record, i like Waiting for the rain and Salvation.
And the closer to god version of Cooper.
kiwijazza said on March 14, 2003 06:16:
I’m probably speaking for most of us when I say that releasing WICF was a great move, but a big mistake was not releasing COY as a single. COY would’ve done well.
Nefatari said on March 14, 2003 09:59:
My HAND-faves are:
COY
Cooper
I was so lucky
Anyone
Stars
WFTR
I really don’t like
WICF (have never liked it!)
Paying the Prize
Beautiful Things
It was a BIG BIG BIG mistake, not to release COY!
Heart_2002 said on March 14, 2003 13:25:
Finally Ferdan speaks honestly about Hand, i wonder why he took so long to do it! * lol* But i agre with him ... the closer to god version of Cooper and Salvation are two really amazing songs from the album. Plus i’m still amazed the way Marie used her beatle’s influences to do Waiting for the rain, back then i could not expect such recording... well done Marie
DaCapo21 said on March 14, 2003 13:27:
Hold on a minute, if Ferdan likes Cooper (Closer to God) does that mean he ended up buying the Anyone maxi single? Did he really do that? I mean he hates this one to death ...*lol*
animalkingdom said on March 14, 2003 16:14:
I can’t believe what’s so bad about Anyone. How is it so different Roxette? IMHO it’s classic Roxette!
