Underatrd as in are they considered to be in the same league as artists who everyone has heard of even decades later? The average response of reactors is " never hear of them." Yes, they were popular at the time. But unless you lived through that time you would most likely know nothing of them. Thankfully we have KZitem to fix that.

They had 4 US No.1's, That's more than ABBA managed. Who were ABBA? A Swedish band that sold 400 million albums worldwide. What's Swedish? Anything that originates from the country of Sweden. What's Sweden? The third most successful musical nation after the United States and Britain. Underrated? Better brush up on your history, son.

Roxette is one of the greatest pop-rock music group and one of the most underrated in world music history. What else can I say, they got a lot of number#1 hits in Europe. Marie Fredrikkson was very charismatic and talented person - she passed away in December 2019... I'm glad you're enjoying it. I hope you will listen more of their songs, especialy: "Spending My Time", "Milk and Toast and Honey", "Listen To Your Heart", "How Do You Do", "Neverending Love", "Soul Deep", "Fading Like a Flower", "I Wish I Could Fly", "Almost Unreal", "June Afternoon", "Way Out" and my favourite "Dressed for Success".

Once I found out who the artist was, which was difficult as the radio station it was tuned into did not have DJ's but was fully automated and Internet was not a household thing by far, I had my first teenage crush on Roxette. Never faded away and they were the 1st live concert I ever experienced. Now I'm turning 44 in 7 days, can't believe it's 30 years onwards already, the world has lost Marie's voice and Northern charm, but the magic stays. Thanks for your wonderful reactions

They were best known for their more upbeat pop-rock songs "Dressed for Success" and "The Look" (and a little later "Joy Ride"), but my favorite of their songs is "Fading Like a Flower." Their U.S. debut album "Look Sharp!" wasn't all great songs, but it had no bad songs. I think their later material move from pop-rock to more synth-pop, though American audiences had moved on by then.

Interesting fact: when Roxette went worldwide with their music, they didn't speak English and their English language songs are sung phonetically. At the time, most Swedes spoke English but not the two vocalists in Roxette. Infact, they broke into the US market by accident, never dreaming of being bigger than the European market. An exchange student from Minneapolis bought a copy of "The Look" and took it home from Sweden. It got into the hands if a DJ there and the rest is history. They had no lawyers, no managers and no contracts when they made it onto the US charts.
