In a local Swedish newspaper called Skaraborgs Allehanda there was an interview with Per in connection to his Skövde consert.
The most interesting I think in the interview is that he lists his five best songs he has written. The top 5 is:
1. Jag tycker om när du tar på mig
2. Queen of rain
3. Stupid
4. The Look
5. It takes you no time to get here
He also says that he thinks he will continue writing and performing music all his life, “that’s the only thing I can”.
He thinks he has written 400-500 songs.
You can’t find the article on the internet.

Queen of rain was right... but sadly Gessle doesn’t seem to know what of his work that is good...
Crash! Boom! Bang! should be on every list...
ITYNTGH??? boring not-very-special-at-all ballad...
Stupid? Tre chords... crappy song

my brother, who also is a big fan of Roxette, thinks that Gessle has the worst taste of music ever... and maybe he is right... He writes the BEST music.... but i think his top 5 is bad... all of those are great songs, but they are not his best... his best is:
It must have been love
Listen to your heart
Almost unreal
Like lovers do
Vulnerable

I agree with the choices, except maybe the look.
I think Per meant lyricswise, not in terms of chords or not.When it comes to the lyrics, the songs are real pearls. Stupid for instance, I don’t think anyone could come up with sth more witty. And then the true feelings included in Queen of rain or Tycker om, in my opinion amazingly right. :)

I like the list, except ITYNTTGH. “Tycker om när du tar på mig” is absolutely best!

@PerAndren - three chords and that’s what is all about! try to write such fucking great song with only three chords! i’m writing some songs and what can i tell? it’s pretty easy to write a ballad, but it’s so damn hard to write catchy 3-chord rocker!

hmm.. well there are better poptunes than Stupid... I actually don’t believe that the intro of Stupid sounds very nice....I believe PG is a bit too proud about that one!

I think there are better songs than Queen of Rain and It takes you no time to get here, but I like the other three!
