Well I do, had this song on a cassette single, you know, the ones when the tape came in a cardboard cover that slipped over the tape, had a song on each side. I would listen to anything I could get my hands on back in my younger days. Music rules...... Anyways, just heard this cover and it reminded me of it..

    The main song I remember is "Dangerous", the local roller rink (where it seemed everybody had their b-day party in the late 80's) played this sucker to death.

    There's no shame in admitting to liking Roxette. They had some solid pop songs. I have three or four on the old iPod. They were big when I was like 18 and 19 and remind me of a few young ladies I dated at the time. So I have an excuse. ;)

    The lead singer guy is a host for this show "Noric Rox" on XM channel "The Spectrum" on Sunday nights. I enjoy listening to the show when I can.

    hahaha...I think I was 8 years old when they where at their prime, and I listened to them every single day. It was all roxette and michael jackson for me as a kid.

    It will always be a guilty pleasure to me...and sometimes when I hear those songs on the radio it suprises me that those are actually really strong pop songs. If you just want candy bubblegum pop songs...they are still the best pop band out there. Better than 'The Monkees'!!

    I even remember a solo record by that Per dude that was actually really really good..'world according to per' I believe it was called..

    yes..guilty pleasure....
