817.6Tell me more, tell me moreCLADA::MEAGHERThese are the hands of a tired manTue Apr 02 1991 19:5216
Er, how can I put this?

There seems to be good things said about this band ("Look sharp" good, etc) in
here, but from the two singles that I've noticed I don't think much of them.
The na-na-na-na-na one (The look?) was OK, but I think that the current one
(Joyride?) one is positively awful ("Hello, you fool I love you" - ugh!)
Is "look sharp" radically different & really good, or is it just a matter of
differing tastes.  I ask so that I'll know whether to buy or not (not to cause
trouble, peace-loving soul that I am).

Thanks,
-Brian

P.S. Just so that you're not embarrassed to admit liking Roxette, I like the 
Bangles, so there. :-)
817.7LESLIE::EDMUNDSan itemWed Apr 03 1991 10:438
    I like the Bangles too...
    
    "The Look" is, in my opinion, a great song. I also like "Joyride".
    Maybe that says something about me... I suspect that if neither of
    those singles really appealed then the rest of the "Look Sharp" album
    won't either. Sounds like differing tastes to me..

    Yes, the new album is out, I picked it up last night.  I've only
    listened to it once, but the songs seem just as good as their first.
    
    If you liked the first album, it's worth getting.

    Just in case you're interested, Roxette are at Wembly on October 19th.
    I was able to get tickets on Saturday for the second row in the arena,
    block B (second block back). I think they should be pretty good seats:
    if you want to see Roxette now would be a good time to get ticks..

817.12How do you do?FILTON::PONTER_JThu Aug 12 1993 15:217
    Yo I have all their albums including the latest, Tourism and I think
    the version of It must have been love on the album is fab.  What does
    anyone think of the latest single release Almost unreal taken form the
    Super mario sound track.

817.13New single...FORTY2::TEERThat&#039;s just what they&#039;ll be expecting us to do...Mon Mar 07 1994 10:476
I saw on MTV last night that Roxette have a new single out, and an album soon.
Anyone have any ideas about when they are released??

Also, Marie has shaved her hair somewhat short!!!!!

817.14The Bangles are brilliant! :-> MARVIN::MORRELLLeeds United : League Champions 1992.Fri May 13 1994 21:528
    Anyone got an idea when they are going to be touring... I heard that
    they may be in the UK around September time.. :->
    
    Their new album isn't as good as the others... I like Joyride the
    best... I like every song on the album & thats usually quite rare! :->
