Reviews:
Everything you'll ever need from Roxette
Although the second half of Roxette's Don't Bore Us retrospective lags because of the hokiness of tracks 8-18, the first half more than compensates for it. Roxette's 80's material is obviously the highlight of this album, and includes the fantastic "Fading Like a Flower," "You Don't Understand," "The Look," "Must Have Been Love," and my personal favorite "Listen to Your Heart. Definitely pick this import up if you can find it. It provides a much more complete retrospective than the American version of Roxette's Greatest Hits. And since most people here love Pop ballads like I do, I also recommend anything by Belinda Carlisle spanning from her 1986 debut up until her 1991 Live Your Life Be Free album.
Roxette Just Rox Your Sox
Now this is a greatest hits for the greatest overseas pop group.To me Per Gessle is the heart and Marie Fredriksson is the soul of Roxette.Per writes the most catchy pop songs and the most coolest ballads.As Marie has that awesome voice that makes you listen.Per is a good singer also.This combination was pure hit makers all over.It is so hard to pick a favorite song there is too many to pick from.As for the cd the selection has about every big hit on here.In the cover booklet has all the lyrics and comments from Per and Marie.As for being a import of course you got to spend more for it.But this collection is well worth every penny.There is a U.S. version as well but you only get 16 songs and the first two songs are different than on this cd.But it is cheaper.It will be on the Edel Records label.Don't buy the "Ballad Hits" album,its missing too many good songs.So if you are still into 80's and 90's pop music this cd is a must buy.A great summer car cd.Enjoy.
The United States really missed something wonderful here
I remember first seeing Roxette on MTV back in the 80's (when MTV was good and actually played music videos) and I flipped over "The Look" and "Joyride". I had cassette singles of these songs and that's all I had from Roxette until I went on a search for a compilation. Well, I looked everywhere and could not find what I wanted. There's not a good compilation for them in the U.S.! I finally ran across this CD and am I ever glad I did. What a package this one is. This is one of my favorite CDs and I have over 1,000.
I just wish they were better known in this country (U.S.) as they are truly fantastic. The United States really missed out on something great here. Even so, most people should recognize "It Must Have Been Love" from the "Pretty Woman" soundtrack. I wasn't aware of it until getting this disc and it was a nice surprise-------I KNEW THAT SONG! There is not one bad song on here. This disc is a true "mood lifter" if there ever was one.
This collection is well worth the money. Go for it! You know you want to.
