C´mon, be honest. Don´t say there´s no any Roxette songs you think are annoying.
My WORST top 3:
1. Cry (waste of time, meaningless)
2. Joyride (MTV played it to death when it was released and made me to “hate” it)
3. Sleeping single (corny)
Please don´t get mad for me, ok? Don´t get me wrong.
I AM a REAL fan but I just don´t care for those ones.
Peace!

Vulnerable...me,too :(
You can’t put your... (even the title is bothering me)
Place Your Love
and some more PER songs!

oh, you must be joking, vulnerable is my favourite!!!! I don´t like MTH, stars, you don´t understand me, little girl and some few more
gyllene_tjej said on February 14, 2002 11:50:
Try sucks for me and Waiting for the rain, Soul deep... the rest is fine. Vulnerable would also be rated as one of BEST songs, not worst!
Alienista said on February 14, 2002 20:35:
I don’t like Soul Deep & Big L ( they sometimes annoy me)
But I also think that Vulnerable is one of the BEST!!!
Vixzter said on February 14, 2002 20:37:
gessleno1fan - everyone is different, and no I’m not joking when I say I don’t like Vulnerable. ;)
Well.....I don’t tend to skip it if I’m playing C!B!B! but I don’t go out of my way to get it down from the shelf thinking ” oh i must play that”
Every song that the rest of you have put on here I like.
Waiting For The Rain is kewl....and its so much better played live.

VIEW FROM A HILL
CRY
TRY (JUST A LITTLE BIT HARDER)
JOYRIDE (this song would be much better if it was a bit shorter... for me it’s boring)
PHYSICAL FASCINATION
SURRENDER
DON’T BELIEVE IN ACCIDENTS

Place your love? Vulnerable? You don’t understande me?
Are you kidding? These are the best roxette songs ever made!!
I don’t like:
-Cry
-Chances
-Soul deep
-Do you wanna go the whole way
-Seduce me
Close2U said on February 15, 2002 05:08:
From album to album:
- Most of the songs on POP...they really sound stupid.
- Look sharp: View from a hill (How does this song supposed to sound anyway??).
- Joyride: Physical Fas...blabla (booooring)
- Tourism: Heart shaped see (again...boooring)
- CBB has some strange songs...but amazingly some songs I didn’t like back then, I really love now!
- DBUGTTG....well it has to be Vulnerable...(forgot to mention this one on CBB)
- HAND...without doubt: Waiting for the rain, Stars (these are just no rox songs!)
- RS: Make my head go pop...wtf?
Oh..eh..and some so called DEMO’s where per tries to sing songs which do not fit his voice:
- Run to you
- Happy together.
- the rain
- CBB
- Almost unreal
- ....
But the rest of the songs are rather cool...to fantastic!
gyllene_tjej said on February 15, 2002 07:40:
@close2U: You killed my heart saying Happy together is a bad song. I love it so much that it hurts!
erweetiran said on February 15, 2002 10:22:
Look Sharp - View from a hill
Joyride - I remember you
Tourism - Come back before you leave
CBB - Place your love, do you wanna go the whole way
HAND - love them all, waiting for the rain so so a hand song, the melody complements the lyrics just like a roxette song should be!
RS - Little girl
-Gee- said on February 15, 2002 15:08:
uhmmm...half a woman, half a shadow; view from a hill and some LS-songs...
VandrandeMan2001 said on February 15, 2002 16:33:
I used not to like HotBlooded..the Joyride version but on the RStour marie sang it with such compassion and i changed my mind.
But i love
Milkandtoastandhoney..the maxisingel is GR8!

PiterPam said on February 16, 2002 09:30:
Songs that I´ve heard about one time and never again are:
View from a hill (sounds like a Porno-movie-song)
Looking for jane (every time I hear this song, i think that ABBA is back again)
Stars (...)
I was so lucky (the demo is so much better. I hate this trompete)
Anyone (boooooooring!!!)
CBB (to slow)
FGirlOTM
Head to toe (what a stupid song)
Goodbye to you
And some more. But these songs are terrible.

Why do a lot of people hate ’cry’... It’s so sad that you don’t really seem to give it a chance...I understand everyone has different taste but it’s such a beautiful song...I think one of the best on ’LS!’...It seems people just heard the first 10 seconds of the song and instantly turn to Chances...Try listening to the 3rd verse (it’s amazing...Definatly one of the best vocals by Marie on that album...
Anyway, songs that really annoy me are...
Everything from Pearls of Passion except: Call of the Wild
LS! =
Half a woman, half a shadow
View from a hill
Shadow of a doubt
Joyride =
The big L
Church of you heart (sickening!)
Smalltalk
Perfect day...sorry, i know a lot of U here like it but I hate it
Tourism =
The Look | Joyride | It must have been love...
C!B!B! =
Vulnerable
Place you love
Love is all...too long & boring
HAND =
Pay the price
Cooper (boring!!!!!)
Room Service =
Jefferson...the lyrics are disgustingly simple...and chorus is annoying
Try... can you say SHITTY!!!...the worst piece of crap I’ve heard from Roxette since View from a hill
Non-album tracks =
Stars (almighty single mix)
Crazy about you (orchestral out-take mix)...not even a remix
Drowning in you
Reaching high
The voice
Dancing on a nightwire (or whatever the hell it is)
Seduce me
One is such a lonely number
Don’t believe in accidents (sounds like the theme song to thr UK show ’Casuality’
Love spins
And every demo version of an album song
Small-talker said on February 16, 2002 12:29:
@ PiterPam
I think:
Looking for jane
Stars
I was so lucky
Anyone
CBB
The First Girl On The Moon
: are all excellent songs that you really should listen to...TFGOTM is brilliant...Anyone is OK...IWSL is one of my Fav’s from the HAND album...Stars is OK / not bad...LFJ is my 3rd best song from the RS
Shame you don’t like ’em tho
Stormkeeper said on February 16, 2002 12:41:
Sorry and shame to say this but songs as Joyride and Dressed for Success are the reasons why some people says Roxette is horrible.
VandrandeMan2001 said on February 16, 2002 17:44:
Head to toe?
How do u mean? What song is she refering to above..have been a roxers since -91..havent heard it..=)
Ferdan said on February 16, 2002 19:28:
From head to toe.....It’s a Roxette demo.... avaible on bootlegs
PiterPam said on February 17, 2002 06:21:
@ Small-talker
CBB for example was the first ballad from Roxette, that was boring me very much. The other once were so explosive, just big ballads. And CBB was to slow, nothing happens in that song. And the name...for a ballad?
TFGOTM, ok it´s not the worst song, but thats a song you forget very quickly. Nothing really special in that song.
and Stars. It´s the only song that I can´t speak out. Why the hell it´s a Dance-song??? and please, you are dancin´in a disco, than you hear “stars”. OK, the first few seconds are dancable, the words are awful. But who cares...and than comes that superduper-stupid-slowly childrenpart!!! Can you explain my how you would dance to it? thats why i´ve never heard it in a dicothek.
PP
BTW: why some of you hate “THE LOOK, JOYRIDE, or IMHBL”??? these are on of the best songs!! timeless songs...
Small-talker said on February 18, 2002 02:31:
@ PP
I do agree on some points but in all fairness, Roxette were never that big in the clubs(disco’s) anyway...so no big loss there
I do love IMHBL (possibly the best song of all time...SERIOUSLY), Joyride & The (rather dusty) Look...I just hate the live version of them songs on the Tourism album (IMHBL is too long...Joyride is boring & I love the first 20 seconds of the song but everything else is crap)...but I can tell I’d love it if I was actually there.
TFGOTM is possibly one of the best songs on the CBB album (it’s so peaceful and Meloncholic)
CBB was a step in the right direction for Roxette in my view & just because it was there first actual ballad doesn’t mean it was there last (Anyone, Salvation, Cooper, WICF, WFTR, MTH, ITYNTTGH and many others...
But I value your other points
m-cvk said on February 18, 2002 03:05:
“Place your love” and “View from a hill” are the songs I don’t like that much.
Grtz.

animalkingdom said on February 18, 2002 03:13:
@ Small-talker
Church Of Your Heart; Half A Woman, Half A Shadow; Place Your Love; Pay The Price and from POP Surrender and So Far Away are all BRILLIANT!!!
Why wouldn’t YOU give THEM a chance?!
And by the way, the music in Cooper is superb!
rainbowgirl said on February 18, 2002 03:56:
I don´t like Staring at the Ground much. And I hate I Love the Sound of Crashing Guitars, this is terrible...
rox74ever said on February 18, 2002 05:33:
well i hate :
i love the sound of crashing guitars, Try, and LOVE is All
i think they are really stupid songs!!
@ everybody:
i just cant understand how some people hate Cooper... Its such a nice song... i know the lyrics are kinda stupid, but the music is awesome! the part i love is when there’s a “brake” and theres only like a violin playing... i love that part.. do you guys know what im talking about??
and btw... “try”sounds like a song you would use in the restroom when you re constipated (sorry people, if i offended anyone) : “try just a little bit harder.... youll survive...” =)
@coyboyusa: and how about “before you go to sleep”?how can you not like that??i love the words... its so relaxing when you re driving!!
@Piterpam: you know that most of the dancing songs (99%) theres a big pause where theres no beat... right?? so i guess the kids singing is that part....a pause... =)
ANd i noticed a lot of people dont like Stars because of the “dancing” style, and thats not Roxette... So if this song “stars” was from Spice Girls... would you guys like it them???

gesslefan_no1 said on February 18, 2002 05:56:
Everytime I read this topic I become so sad...
Nearly all of you write that you hate Love is all and Place your love...In my opinion they´re some of the best.
But I´ll try to understand that everybody think´s different. Some of you probably love the songs I hate:
Try,
Little Girl,
You don´t understand me,
Milk and toast and honey,
Stars
I suppose I should not read this topic anymore...but it´ll be hard, I´m so curious.
egmond said on February 19, 2002 21:54:
hi stormkeeper!!
gotta admit, i hate place your love, she doesn’t live here anymore (worst ever), 7 twenty 7, keep me waiting, ...crashing guitars, call of the wild, voices, and try. there are others too, but the first two i hate the most!
cry is okey, but why do they keep on playing it live! rather have june afternoon out on stage (my b-day song!)
Katya said on February 20, 2002 07:26:
I’d say it has to be Soul Deep. Okay, Marie’s voice sounds good, but the song as a whole
is annoying. Then, Shadow of Doubt is too long to be good.
As for Cry, I don’t like that song a lot, but its live version from the
LS live video is good. As a matter of fact, I find some faults with
quite a few Roxette songs, especially as regards the lyrics
(take Jefferson for instance or COTH), but
I think Place Your Love is a very nice song indeed,
for its lyrics are somewhat charming if funny.
VandrandeMan2001 said on February 21, 2002 04:10:
I dont understand for starters why we are suppose to HATE PGs songs! Come on get ur shit together for crying out loud!
I dont like Hotblooded but i dont hate it.
But i love Love is All!
Rock On!
btw:
Is there any nonswedes who have “The Heartland Cafe” record?? Just wondering..curious coz it didnt do well overseas..that is why GT split up back in the 80s for starters..then thanx heaven the put the shit together and made the Återtåget tour..
