It seems like the Sweedish rock band Europe has been largely forgotten. I can't imagine life in my teenage years without songs like "The Final Countdown," "Carrie," "Superstitious," and "Let the Good Times Rock." "Prisoners in Paradise" is still one of my favorite CD's. Who else loves, or even remembers, this awesome band. Sweedish rock rules!

Were they Swedish?
Who knew? I love "Carrie." I was just listening to it the other day on one of my ancient 80's CD compilations.

I love all kinds of rock/hard rock/hair bands/metal - pretty much the whole 80's gambit, but I really specialize in 80's hair bands more than anything else (he sue me, I grew up with it, I'm like Popeye, I 'yam what I 'yam )
My old lady is pretty much the same way except the fact she is the BIGGEST Europe / Joey Tempest fan there ever was! :O I just told her now, "see, this is why I am on the 'Tank all the time! I told you we DON'T just talk about GI Joes all the time! " .

The Final Countdown reminds me of my college years. My roommate used to blast that song all the time. Epic!

When I was in High School I had been told the Final Countdown was literally their only song... I'll have to track down some of the other stuff so I can hear their full discography.
<--- The Final Countdown sung by an all female musical theatre troupe.

I've always been a big fan of Europe from way back (and taken my fair of shit for doing so)...80's metal is where it's at for me. I was a child of the 80's and that's what we listened to. The first three albums (Europe, Wings Of Tomorrow and The Final Countdown) still get play in my house. Also just as good and worth checking out is John Norum's (Europe guitarist) solo album Out Of Control.
