Hello everyone! I'm so glad to see that a new battle is being held. Well done, Eva Now for my vote on the album Europe...the first two songs are pretty easy to me: Seven doors hotelMemoriesAnd for the third one i'm conflicted: The king will return, Boyazont, Children of this time and Words of wisdom are really cool. But In the end I've got to pick Paradize bayAnd we can be together And travel far away And we can love forever In some old Paradize bayLike many others I discovered this album (and the wings album) while exploring the band's back catalogue in 1986/87 when, after months of listening TFC back and forth, I decided I needed more of that. To be honest it took me some time to appreciate it. Compared to the catchy and refined sound of TFC those albums sounded pretty raw to my teenager ears. Well, I hadn't been so much into rock and roll until then. The WOT album caught me after some listenings. Europe took a little more. But today, perhaps because I never really "abused" of it, Europe is one of those albums I enjoy listening more. It still represents a surprise for me, especially when I think how young were the guys when they created this album.

Hi! My votes:
Paradize bay Children of this time The King will return
One day couple of years sgo I just sat down to listen the lyrics of Children of this time. It really stopped me when I thought how young Joey had been while writing the words and therefore, how well could he had known about compications in relationships. And especially to give very wise advice in them!!! So he got my respect.. "...Give her more so much more and you´ll find out That it will come in return Tell her more so much more about your feelings And she will make them burn..."
Have you ever thought about that aspect...? 😊
And no, I did not discover Europe album before TFC... For TFC, it happened in 1986, and it took many years more to discover this one...😊

Interesting question
It's cool that in our battles we can have time to talk about little by little and between all, album by album. Soooo I think that are the words from: 1) an experienced man, who has lived a lot even though he was very young when he published the album and therefore when he composed the songs, or 2) that he was a young man but with a lot of wisdom, or 3) maybe both , ...
Then in TFC Joey became sweeter perhaps more politically correct with his "when lights go down I see no reason for you to cry ..." and phrases like that ...
(but we are not going to advance , we will reflect on TFC )

ent friend ! So happy to see you around here! You know that you are our favorite Master of Ceremonies .... right ?
My votes are for:
- In the future to come - Children of this time - Seven Doors Hotel
SEVEN DOORS HOTEL is a very special song for me, I didn't fall in love with the first listeners, to be honest when I heard the EUROPE and WINGS OF TOMORROW albums TFC, I thought: are they the same band that TFC ? I could'nt believe it . But those albums are growing in you, and you realize that they are full of wonderful nuances and that you listen to a more authentic band maybe not with so much "production" maybe they are more free musicians and that makes them special, they are previous to the album that made globally known I think that gives them a special charm
And back SEVEN DOORS HOTEL , ... to me is an almost indefinable song, from its wonderful entrance to the end it catches you and you realize that it is timeless no matter how many years go by it is still a jewel worth listening to always. It takes me to the past to live happy moments and get excited, life changes, we evolved but that song manages to take me there to a space and time where everything was infinitely better, that's why when I listen to it live I get excited and in sometime even I cry , it's true ! it has happened to me sometimes, don't you? I remember some years ago hearing John Norum playing "The Loner" in London a few days after the death of Gary Moore, OMG ! it was something magical and I admit I cry.
Sooooooo ... we keep running friends! Our battle keep on ...
Here I leave another open question for those who want to answer.
Have you never cried at a EUROPE concert with a special song?

Last hours of our voting session of the EUROPE album!
If we have someone who has not yet decided to vote, this is the moment you have until tonight at 22.00 pm, any new entry is very well come. We are waiting ...
Here is a quick update on how the voting goes ...
1. "In the Future to Come" (Joey Tempest) (1) 2. "Farewell" (Joey Tempest) (1) 3. "Seven Doors Hotel" (Joey Tempest) (13) 4. "The King Will Return" (Joey Tempest) (4) 5. "Boyazont" (John Norum, Eddie Meduza) (4) 6. "Children of This Time" (Joey Tempest) (7) 7. "Words of Wisdom" (Joey Tempest) (5) 8. "Paradize Bay" (Joey Tempest) (9) 9. "Memories" (Joey Tempest) (10)
I remind you that to the next phase the 2 songs with more votes pass, ... I think it will be difficult to remove the position to SEVER DOORS HOTEL but there is a beautiful fight between PARADIZE BAY and MEMORIES
What will happen ? Will PARADIZE BAY? or will it be MEMORIES?
While we think about it we enjoy another pearl of this album ...
See you tonight !

Great "battle" again!!!
In order of appearance:
Seven Doors Hotel Children of this Time Words of Wisdom
The only thing I can say is the memory of a very young Stefy sitting in her bedroom listening to these old EUROPE songs through big headphones and dreaming away... EUROPE are so intertwined with my life! ♥
