I think this is one of the most killer songs ever, and I decided it needed it's own thread. Serioulsy, how can anyone not like this song?

You can't go wrong with pretty much any Police song, although I'm not big fan of "Roxanne".

"Spirits in the Material World"
"King of Pain"
"Every Breath You Take"

I was the biggest Police fan in the early-mid 80's and have been listening to them a lot again lately. Such good stuff. I've had "On Any Other Day" stuck in my head for a week now.

how many of you knew that, before the Police, Andy Summers was in the Animals with Eric Burden? "House of the Rising Sun" Animals. he was about 15 years older than Sting or S. Copeland.

i do like the Police more than Rush.....but the primary reason for that is there was no max rotation video for YYZ. I'd bet.

I knew the end was near when Synchronicity came out.
I like Outlandos and Zenyatta best. Outlandos was cool cuz they still had a reggae vibe going.

Because it's about an inappropriate relationship between a teacher and a student?

I always thought 'Philadelphia Necrophilia' had a nice beat but it was way over the top.

Plus, Gordon was a school teacher before his rock n rollah days in the Police. So he would know about young chicks and such.
