1995 Greatest Hits Compilation with Four New Songs. No Us Release. Review: A must for Roxette fans! - If you are a fan of Roxette, you owe it to yourself to get this CD. I found that I like quite a few of the songs I'd never heard before just as much as their hits I've long loved. Review: Greatest European Group - This album by Roxette is great!!!. It covers most of the songs that I grew up listening to. Is a great compilation to any Roxette fan. I love their music, and I'll always will. This music will never make me tired of listening to it. I'm glad that this band are still together and expanding their music career. The latest album that Roxette released recently is call: "Charm School." Is a different type of music, of what I been used to it, the truth is that the album is NOT bad at all. I'm wishing the best of the best to Roxette!!!. Best Regards Ivan Aguirre

ABBA On Steroids
This is one Pop duo. I was acquitted with a couple of their hits from the 90s but had no idea how strong this "Best Of" collection would be. Think ABBA on steroids. Great stuff.

Roxette's music
Glad that Go Hastings had this album available. There are always songs that a music group will perform but it never seems to make into the mainstream of music listeners. It's a shame that Roxette is no longer around. It was a good group to listen too.

There isn't a bad song on the CD
Outstanding!! There isn't a bad song on the CD. The version of "Listen To Your Heart", released in Sweden, is even better than the version released in the US.

An excellent overview of Roxette's Number One hits.
10 years after crafting their perfect, debut album with 1986's "Pearls Of Passion", Per Gessle and Marie Fredricksen released their first greatest hits compilation for international audiences alike. And while NONE of the "Pearls Of Passion" nuggets are featured here, Roxette fanatics are STILL in for a real treat with 4 brand new tracks. "She's Got The Look" was the beginning of critical acclaim when 1988's "Look Sharp!" hit the U.S. stores and was in heavy MTV video rotation. With it's crunchy guitar riffs and dreamy harmony vocals led by Per, the rest of the album spawned even MORE mega smashes: "Dressed For Success", "Dangerous", and the main staple that continues to last well into 30 years -- "Listen To Your Heart." (The latter song was covered by one-time electronica/dance duo D.H.T. in 2005, which had the album title of the same name.) For 1991's "Joyride", Roxette climbed even higher with more power pop, mega ballads, and just pure, direct rock 'n' roll. However, I prefer the full version of the title track rather than the edited version featured here. By the next 2 albums, Roxette were touring constantly all over the world, ravenously building their fan base, as the fans clamored for even more. But the effect in the U.S. didn't last very long during 1994's "Crash! Boom! Bang!" album, thanks in part to the Nirvana/Pearl Jam/grunge era. However, this collection STILL has the very best of Roxette -- give or take a few radio edits. The 4 new songs featured here maintain their worldwide significance in power pop/rock history: Per's kazoo on "June Afternoon", the fast-tempo stomper of "She Doesn't Live Here Anymore", and the 2 dreamy, wistful Marie-led ballads of "You Don't Understand Me" and "I Don't Want To Get Hurt." Thankfully, Per and Marie would not rest on their laurels for very long; their very best work was yet to come in the new millennium and beyond. Want some proof?? How about checking out their 9th studio record, "Good Karma"?? :)

Who is Roxette ? No need to make history about such a worldwide famous Swedish supergroup. One of the most successful Swedish acts ever and one of the world's leading pop bands! It is made of the splendid Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson combination. The stunning Marie is the unique voice who leads the major hits along with Per as lead vocalist and guitarist as well. Per is the mastermind behind the mellow and rocking voice, catchy hooks and viral lyrics of Roxette! With such a famous band, Roxette has reached the top of many famous charts around the world, including the Billboard charts. Songs like 'Spending My Time' or 'It Must Have Been Love' are the clear sign of the power and beauty of Marie's wonderful voice and charisma. At the same time, Per Gessle taking lead vocals and Marie Fredriksson singing background has been the perfect blend for smash hits like 'The Look', 'Joyride', 'The Big Love' or the sunny 'June Afternoon'. His gravelly, rock-n-roll-ready voice is a classic on the rocking upbeat songs, even his silky smooth vocals on the ballads colour every tune he writes! His incredible singing ability is present on every song indeed! Their songs are catchy without being trite: not only the sweeping ballads, but also the uptempo ones, with plenty of edgy rock to keep your blood flowing! One of the highlights in this album is the amazing uptempo hit 'Joyride', a clever song sung by Per who reached the # 1 worldwide and set the band at the top of the hill. With his characteristic gravelly vocals in this song subsequent hits, he has conquered the heart of many people around the world selling more than 70 million of albums worldwide. What makes him unique is that particular mellow and raspy voice. Roxette's passionate vocals will make you remember your most impressive moments in life! They sing a lot about life, love and small-town feelings. The Roxette selection of hits in this album is great. Fortunately, it has one of my favourite ballads: the amazing and timeless 'Vulnerable', perfectly performed by Per. This is just one of those songs that makes you fall in love with his engaging and out of this world singing: Although he mainly has many pop and upbeat songs, his vocals on these kinds of ballads are completely angelic and fragile, yet flawless. Gessle has such an unequalled raspy voice in a way he does so wonderful on all the songs he performs. Gessle is known for his deep, distinctive bass-baritone voice. He has a deep, husky, gravelly voice combined with his own outstanding drawing, charismatic style of singing, as smooth as anything, and very rich indeed. When listening to him you almost can't tell if he's singing high or low, that's how flawless his voice is.... His booming deep bass voice is surely one of the most recognizable in pop music history. He always shines with his luscious vocal harmonies. Curiously he has a lot of bass and gravel in his voice. His simple words, a husky voice and a distinctive personality enrich every song he writes. His voice is great and really shines on every song he performs, expressing that gruff voice that sticks to your ribs! These kinds of voices and their music should be on everyone's list of top artists and not the current money-making bands that come from business. The Masters of Flawless Catchy Songs are here and forever ! Definitively this album will make up your day for sure!
