"Chances", "Shadow of a Doubt", "Dance Away", "Paint"! Paint's like a great outtake from "Bad".

I stand by every thing I've ever said about them. RIP.

This is so sad. One of the many bands my dad got me into and some amazing singles. Always loved Joyride and The Look a lot, but listening to them now and I’d forgotten how much I love Dressed for Success.

I always loved this performance I stumbled across on YT a few years ago

Alfred already name-checked them in the appropriate thread, but in my memory, the sound of the whole Poppy Bush Interzone is basically Roxette.
RIP Marie.

Wondered why this was revived and just been told in the pub. :(

yeah their American chart span was essentially the length of the Interzone.

Wow the hate here is astounding. :-( I mean I get Alex’ hate ;-) but for the rest? Come on. Some real classics.

Some real classics and some real terrible songs, like many other bands.
RIP Marie Fredriksson; 17 years is an extraordinarily long time to fight an illness.

I love almost all their singles.
Rotting Christ and Roxette share a rack in my house!

Juvenile interpolated "Listen to Your Heart" once in a song he wrote for his kid (don't seek it out... it's baaaad).
Guess it's better than if he'd done "It Musta Been Thug"

RIP. Knew this was coming and she amazed me by being such a fighter for so long. I loved Roxette as a kid and I still think certain singles are classics. Dangerous is my favorite.
“She's got what it takes to make ends meet,The eyes of a lover that hit like heat”
So good!!!
