I just saw this on Amazon.com-this looks like a nice cd to get.

If you wanna have some Roxing songs, I'd go with both the ballad & pop hits cd's. They are newer and contain more songs than "just" don't bure us..... But it is a good album though. But if you wanna have the latest "best of" you'd better go with both the Pop and the Ballad hits cds.

I discovered Roxette with the song "It must have been love" (thanks to the movie "Pretty woman") which I like very much.
Then some people from my family in the US advised me to listen to Roxette, and I really love the
"Joyride" album : so many great songs !

My Roxette colletion :
- maxi CD of "It must have been love"
In audio tape :
- Look Sharp !
- Joyride
- Tourism


Here is my top 5 :
- It must have been love
- Perfect day
- Fading like a flower
- Listen to your heart
- Milk and toast and honey

Hey Brownie,

looks like you really love the ballads I will not post my collection here, cause it would take too long. But if you love the Joyride album, I guess you'd also love RoomService, which contains Milk and toast and honey, but also a Be-au-ti-ful song called: My world, my love, my life.......

But yeah, the first time I saw Pretty woman, I immediately loved It must have been love too. I have been humming it for several days, not even knowing which band it was hehe.....

[Brownie]

I recently found the whole discography, so I will carefuly listen to "RoomService".
I think I should buy one of their best of when I find it.

[cynthia]

Well, I can advise you to do so on www.roxette.se you can find a lot about them (guess why huh ) so just check it out when you have the time. you can browse the lyrics too, maybe you will like My world, my love, my life just by reading the lyrics

[Brownie]

Oh today I listened again to the "Look Sharp !" album and I forgot there were many songs I liked !

[cynthia]

Yessss sometimes I also dwell away to the sounds of those lovely songs that I have not heard in such a long time.... I could never give you up...the way you make my love shine

[Brownie]

Hey cynthia, do you know Marie Fredriksson's songs ?
I've never listened to them and didn't even know she had (or is having) a solo carreer.

[cynthia]

Yeah ofCorrs I know them! I have her latest (English) solo album "The Chance" as well as her Swedish solo records. Though they are a little different from the Roxette sound you know, they are really good (I believe Steve can talka bout this now too,hehe, since I let him hear some Marie songs).

[Brownie]

Today I saw the book "The look" :
www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/9197189480/202-7370320-6795023
It was 50 euros, but I'm not fan enough to buy it.
(unfortunately I haven't seen the "Corrs to corrs book".

[cynthia]

Well Brownie, most of the info can be found on the official Roxette side. With the Corrs book, you mean "Corner to Corner"? Since it can be found on the same Amazon site, but it is hard to get. The publisher may want to make a new print, but are not sure yet....
BTW If you want a Roxette greatest hits cd: They will record some new songs soon again because of the "Roxette 20 years" annoversary this year!!!!!! So stay tuned!

[Brownie]

Thanks for the information. I will wait for this CD.
I've seen today a DVD with their clips. It looks great (with a lot of songs)

[snookyjojo]

hey yo cyn?
I have a question to the expert herself!
Roxette didn't release a new album lately, did they? Are they actually still together as a band? Because I don't hear any news, new songs and so on, anymore at all Only songs from Per alone...
