Not quite. I was going to say that "Oh, What A Night" by The Four Seasons is a vastly underrated song.

Poison isn't underrated. Poison is second-rate. Although it could be said that C.C. Deville is underrated.

C.A. Quintet are underrated... Or nobody knows who they are.

I think that they are underrated. I mean, i'm not putting them up there with AC/DC, but I would put them up there with Bon Jovi.

Please justify that claim.

When you said "up there with Bon Jovi" I did a cry cry.

Fixed it for you.

In terms of instrumentation, the band's songs are very good, and even today Marie still sings with power and an unusual amount of feeling.

Also, yes, now that it's been brought to my attention, the new song is good and better than I expected, though it treads the usual Roxette ground for ballads.

wow man....do you have me on ignore or something....it seems to me the only person here that need to adjust their attitude is you....nobody is attacking you....

and for the record if you actually read any of the other posts...nobody compared Roxette to Ace of Base....they were compared to ABBA (a much more SUPERIOR band)...and i simply stuck up for the fact that the members of Ace of Base were related and wrote many (not all) of their songs

you do realize that people are entitled to opinion right?
