Hey guys!! First time checking out The Police with you all! It’s Friday so make sure to VOTE in the weekly poll to determine what song gets added to the rotation sooner than the latter!! Cheers guys hope you all have an awesome weekend!! 🙌🏻🔥
More New Wave - Joe Jackson, Is She Really Going Out with Him?
@@peterquinones3522 Yes. Joe Jackson! Friday is a good song to check out also
Can't believe this one won the poll (well actually I can). The Police had some good tunes, Roxanne was not one of them.
Other Police bangers...Next To You, Can't Stand Losing You, Message In A Bottle, Driven To Tears, Don't Stand So Close To Me, Synchonicity 1 & 2
@@OldeDude15x millennials, amirite...
You guys CANNOT imagine how HUGE these guys were when they first broke. They didn’t sound like anyone else!
Good call! I already posted my comment about how massive this song was when it came out because nobody had ever heard anything like this before! What a great musical time to be growing up!
He actually has a great voice... IMO...when song calls for it...
Ironically, even bigger than ever when they crumbled
H U G E
Yes that’s what I first thought. Lol
Dude. Dude. Dude. DUDE. This is only the beginning. The Police are so so so good.
Sting solo is just as good. Check out "We'll Be Together", 'Set Them Free", or "Englishman in New York"
@@PogueMahone1 Sting solo - blah. But I love The Pogues. Saw them on the Pogue Mahone tour
Yup, The Police rabbit hole runs deep
Meh
You said it, the 1st hit of many - One of the last Super groups
The lead singer (Sting) actually DOES sound like an angel in his song “Fields of Gold.” Give it a listen, guys. 😇
Absolutely my first thought, when they started discussing his voice.
It pales in comparison to Fragile
DrittAdrAtta Whoa... Don’t comment with your opinion as though it’s a fact while negating someone else’s comment. Your opinion is nothing more than your opinion. Have some respect for other people’s comments.
@@merylschoenbaum319 "DOES sound like an angel" - isn't that actually an OPINION dressed up as a fact? Since we all know exactly what angels sound like... That is one thing. Secondly, where is the negation? You are entitled to your opinion, just as I am entitled to mine - that Fragile both lyrically and musically is the bettet song, so don't you don't me, OK? You might want to avoid posting something in public if you don't want your opinions to be confronted and your precious feelings hurt.
DrittAdrAtta Nope, two different things. My comment was written with good intentions to inform Alex that there’s a song where Sting voice actually does have an angelic sound and he might want to hear that quality in his voice. Your comment had no good intentions attached to it, just an air of superiority in tearing down someone else’s opinion. Wanna keep playing or agree to disagree?
At the beginning you hear Sting laugh - when they were recording he actually slipped and sat on the piano keys - they left both the sound of the piano and his laugh in the song.
I can still see Eddie Murphy singing this sitting in his jail cell in the movie, 48 Hours.
ikr. That comes to my mind every single time. Not a bad thing. I like that movie. But ...
Same!! Cracks my ass UP!
czcams.com/video/uaz8A9Bu-pA/video.html
:)...czcams.com/video/NjQ2DgNoHjs/video.html
Yes!! Every time
"So Lonely," "Message in a Bottle," "Canary in a Coalmine," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and "King of Pain" are musts.
King of Pain has some of the best lyrics (poetry) ever written.
Wrapped around your fingers
Hell bro, their entire fricking repertoire are MUSTS! ;) lol!
I endorse ALL the above comments and opinions....
For some amazing Andy Summers drumming check out murder by numbers.
Okay, so who else sees Eddie Murphy in a jail cell whenever this song comes on?
Lol exactly what i thought!!!!
First thought every time 👇🤣
czcams.com/video/uaz8A9Bu-pA/video.html
Every time!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Listen to “King of Pain” by the Police.
Brian Shaw
Agree! Live version @Synchronicity concert is the best version!
"Walking on the Moon" and my favorite Police song "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"
Every Little Thing...my favorite too. Something about that song. Just pure perfection.
Those are 2 of my top choices as well.
Walking on the Moon from the Synchronicity concert. Stewart Copeland shows goes off on that one and also Message in a Bottle.
Every Little Thing. Possibly the perfect pop record, created from a near perfect demo. Rick Beato certainly thinks so and did a great review of it here. A track I will never tire of listening to.
walking on the moon; one of the most deceptive bass songs... thought this sounds easy - 😶NOPE
REAL deep cut for the Police if you're interested; "Murder By Numbers". The melody, the lyrics, the groove, the odd time signature... Soooooo good
Did you ever hear Sting sing Murder by Numbers with Frank Zappa? You might like.
Yesssss
I second that choice!
Murder by Numbers is one of my fav Police tunes 😎
I wish I could like this recommendation more than once! What a great tune!!!
If you want the BEST Stewart Copeland drum insanity, “WALKING ON THE MOON”. But be warned, his duel between triplets and fourths will drill DEEP into your brain. One of the most musical drummers in rock history - he’s gone on to compose movie scores and operas.
Also the soundtrack for legendary ps1 game Spyro the Dragon!
Go watch Yoyoka play Murder By Numbers. Copeland is a genius. I think Yoyoka could be the new Copeland in the future.
Drummer: Stewart Copeland. Top tier drummer. Now composes film scores mostly.
Singer / bassest: frickin' Sting, yo!!! Composed 90% of their music. ;)
Don't forget it was Andy's song instrumental that got them their first Grammy
Absolutely the best
People may know Sting from his acting. He was in the first movie version of *Dune*.
Copeland composed the music to the original Equalizer series. Great stuff.
There are SO many great Police tunes to check out!! Message In a Bottle, Walking On The Moon, So Lonely, Every Breath You Take, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Spirits In The Material World, Driven To Tears, The Bed’s Too Big Without You... just to name a few!!
All great songs. My favorite is still The Bed’s Too Big Without You. I love that killer bass line.
Synchronicity
@@videono1 Synchronicity II as well!
Synchronicity!
The Beds Too Big Without You would be great! I would very much enjoy seeing them react to it!
Synchronicity, Synchronicity II, Message in a bottle, and Don't stand so close to me!!
De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
@Eric Lennert that’s all I want to say to you
Oh ya, "do doo doo doo"!
King of Pain, and Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.
I love the “wall of sound,” prog-rock, classic 70’s rock as much as anybody, but when The Police came around with their spare, reggae-tinged sound, it was like a breath of fresh air. “Message In a Bottle” is my favorite.
Remember, this is a 3 piece band. Such a groundbreaking group and Roxanne a megahit, now iconic.
Eddie Murphy singing Roxanne in 48 Hours. Perfect!
Reggie!! Reggie!! What you want cop ?! lol
I always think of that scene when I hear Roxanne.
Our age is showing :p
Surfeit You ain’t kidding. I saw The Police 40 years ago in Philly on the Sychronicity tour. The Go-Go’s warmed them up. A couple of lifetimes ago.
@@landshark7730 I saw them at Comiskey Park in Chicago, which opened that tour - late July 1983 I want to say. Joan Jett got booed off the stage (unfairly, in my opinion.)
Another one of those "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THIS!" song. It's been used so many times in movies and tv shows as a cultural reference, most notably at the beginning of the Eddie Murphy movie "48 Hours"
Was thinking the same thing.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THIS!" song...
Here's some theories:
A) Grew up in an Amish Community
B) Coma from birth till age of 18
C) Parental neglect to a level that could result in litigation in a number of states
D) Raised by Wolves
Looking at Alex I'm guessing D
@@alanhynd7886 :D :D :D
@@alanhynd7886 going with D myself.
That's always the first thing that comes to mind for me. czcams.com/video/NjQ2DgNoHjs/video.html
The Police are awesome!!!
“Everything Little Thing She Does Is Magic”.
I refuse to believe that Andy and Alex have not heard “Every Breath You Take” prior to this video.
Sting banned it back in the late 80s. Swore never to sing it again.
But it's one of my favorites from the police. Sting called it a stalker song 🎵.
@@wm.patrickmilford4589 BS. I've been seeing him in concert since the 90's and he's sung it every time. Honestly, I don't like what he's done with it. It's a neutered version.
@@wm.patrickmilford4589 Wow, dude! Just make shit up! That never happened.. that was never even thought to have happened.
@@wm.patrickmilford4589 He's not wrong.
@@wm.patrickmilford4589 People misunderstand it. It isn't a love song, though it's often played at wedding receptions etc, but the lyrics make it clear that it''s about stalking a woman. Any woman who's been with a controlling partner knows exactly what's going on.
One of their songs you should check out is "Walking on the Moon."
Agreed
I played Police in the car for my kids and quizzed them on the lyrics. They loved shouting, “walking on the moon!”
Yes, “Walking On the Moon”! Another great tune that’s a must hear.
The drums are mega cool on this one. He runs the drums through a delay effect.
Maybe the first Police song I ever heard was Walking on the Moon in one of those planetarium lazer shows. When I heard it my whole instincts perked up. Then Roxanne and E S D I Magic. Blasted it full blast.
“Driven to Tears” and “When the World is Going Down....” are awesome, awesome songs.
And should be listened to back-to-back... the flow is too good.
I loved the Bring on the Night album jazz versions of those songs also!
Zenyatta Mondatta, the whole album is great (except"DooDooDooDadada" to me is just "DooDoo"). Regatta de Blanc is also awesome (I always listen to "On Any Other Day" on... that special day)

D B I Do, thank you!! 👍🏽
You have “just” scratched the surface of this group.
YOU MUST....GO DEEPER.
They are amazing.
The Police and later Sting as solo are in a class by themselves.
police = amazing. sting solo = snoozefest.
I can't imagine having the feeling again of hearing Stewart Copeland for the first time and thinking (anew) "This may be the best rock drummer ever."
Yup.
The weird chord at the beginning: Sting accidentally sat on the piano. You can hear him laugh about it after
How do you accidentally sit on a piano??
Wallace Lambert from what i understand he was standing up and was about to start singing the first line. He wanted to sit down on the piano behind him but didn’t notice the lid was open. Im paraphrasing but he mentioned it in an interview at some point.
S-Tier review, gentlemen!
Thought we was getting tiny dancer today
This song was not meant to be released. It’s a demo technically.
"Spirits of the Material World," "Walking on the Moon," "Driven to Tears"

@@POWER-LINKS Agreed! That is a stunning performance of this song!
@@neilyoungfan 👍🏻
Sting is so underrated as a soloist. Seriously. Everyone writes him off because of the New Age stuff and being played on "adult contemporary" radio. Please play " Shape of My Heart", "It's Probably Me" (the version he did with Clapton) or "Fields of Gold"
Sting is anything BUT underrated. He has been given his proper due at every stage of his career, as a singer, as a bassist and as an actor. He has had both the fans and the critics on his side through his entire career.
He was never underrated.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the mind-numbing fact that you guys had never heard "Roxanne" before... welcome to the music of the arguably biggest band in the world from the early 1980's.
Only U2 might compete
Or that other band from Athens...
Lemme tell you, I'm 19 and have been raised on a litany of 70s and 80s tunes courtesy of my parents. Somehow I hadn't heard any of the Police apart of "Every Breath You Take" until last year. I'm hooked now, possibly my favorite group
“Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”
Gotta do it!
Listen to Every little thing she does is magic by The Police
As I commented elsewhere, that song has one of the all-time great drum fills ever recorded.
Some of the best drumming ever in rock music
You guys are gonna love Stewart Copeland as a drummer! One of the best drummer of all time for sure. I could see him creeping in your top 10 or 5! DO MORE POLICE!
I remember when The Police hit the music scene and WOW, you can't imagine how big this band was! So many of their songs are huge hits and worth listening to. Sting has an incredible voice range, check out some of his other amazing songs.
""Synchronicity II," Spirits in the Material World," "Driven to Tears," "So Lonely," and "Don't Stand So Close to Me," and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" are classics. Welcome to regatta de blanc!
Hell the whole Synchronicity album.
Yes to Synchronicity II.
Synchronicity is such a great album!
Synchronicity II is my pick. Phenomenal song.
FYI,
Neal Peart really loved Stewart Copelands drumming. Sting is a underrated bass player.. The Police catalog is endless. Another incredible 3 piece band.
two of my faves. both were just so unique. stewart could really spice up great pop music.
Regata de Blanc is Copeland's masterpiece.
Yep, fact. Saw a Rush interview from this time and they were asked what music they, Rush, listened to. The normally shy Neil said The Police, almost before the question was done.
I can assure you that Sting is not an underrated bass player. He is highly regarded by bass players and musicians generally. Few bass players sing lead vocals, due to the contrapuntal nature of the two, but Sting, Macca, Jack Bruce and Geddy are some of the very few to do both really well.
@@dctbass I think both sting and andy summers are unnerated. Sting is mostly thought of as a great singer and songwriter. And Andy plays with a more mellow style that does get noticed as often. But they are both very talented.
You have to listen to "Driven To Tears" for a true showcase of Stewart Copeland's drumming skills.
Totally agree here
'Regatta de Blanc', 'Voices Inside My Head', 'One World (Not Three)' and 'No time this Time' are also some top-notch Copeland drumming IMO
Sting has one of the most amazing voices of any singer on earth.
Great band. If you’re completely new to them I highly recommend message in a bottle, king of pain, and the wonderfully creepy every breath you take.
Those! Yes! Absolutely! And in that order.
Every breath you take always struck me as a bit of a stalker's anthem too
walking on the moon
Great reaction guys! You always put a smile on my face. Cheers!🤘❤
Stuart Copeland’s percussion performance on “Driven to Tears” is epic!
Sidestep the hits if you can, only because they are showcased better on tracks like Bring on the Night, Driven to Tears, Invisible Sun, Syncronicity1, Syncronicity2,
Spirits in the Material World.
Enjoy the journey!!!
So Lonely…
The police- don’t stand so close to me
The social distancing anthem.
"Could this be a song about a waitress...? 😆
As soon as it started, y'all were quickly educated.
When a friend played this track to me back in the 80s I said this band will be huge. Became a massive fan and saw them play in Sydney in 1984.
Gaz
"A really great bad voice." I get it, man. The flaws in singer's voices are what made them unique. In that same way that singers like Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Carole King, Carly Simon, even Stevie Nicks...It isn't about what their voices CAN'T do, or them trying to achieve a level of perfection. It's about what they ALREADY do.
I've seen lots of great Police tunes mentioned here but one of my all-time favorites doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet ... Invisible Sun. It's a dark and gritty tune compared to most of their other singles.
That guy singing is Sting. He definitely may be from wayyyy before you're time although he's still around now his voice doesn't have the range it had then. The drummer Stewart Copeland is just as famous as a soundtrack creator for numerous TV shows and movies over the years.
That is a great song. Good choice.
I got a compilation album of The Police and Sting hits. The only song I did not recognize was "Invisible Sun". It is now my favorite The Police song.
Random notes: Guitarist Andy Summers is ten years older than Sting and drummer Stewart Copeland and was in The Animals (House of the Rising Sun) in the late 1960s after the first big split that led to their bassist becoming Hendrix's manager. Andy recently had a two person band called Circa Zero (album title Circus Hero) with musician Rob Giles who foes everything except guitar on that album. I vaguely know Rob as I've seen him at various tiny venues and he was in a band called The Rescues with some people I actually know. The Police influenced the reggae aspects of Rush including the end bit of The Spirit of Radio. Neil was a huge fan of Stewart in particular. Stewart Copeland was the drummer for The Police. He brother (their manager at this time) later founded IRS Records famous for discovering R.E.M. His father was in the CIA. The actual CIA. Sting started in the movie adaptation of Quadrophenia right after this album and that movie came out in (1979). Sting had later success. ;)
Yes..the E.B. & the Animals Andy play on is called 'love is'....I personally preferred their earlier stuff
@@rc1564 He's on "Sky Pilot" correct?
If you like Stewart’s drumming, Walking on the Moon really showcases his creativity.
@FiatDuster He was featured in would have been better.
Miles Copeland did not discover R.E.M. Bill Berry worked at the Paragon Booking Agency in Macon with Ian Copland who was Stuart Copeland's brother. He and Mills Mills used to hang out with Ian who turned Bill and Mike onto all the new wave music that was coming out of England in the late seventies R.E.M. opened for the Police in December of 1980 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta when XTC canceled at the last minute. R.E.M. had a single on hibtone records and they had demo tapes circulating. The New York Times had already put their single on their best of list for 1981 They turned down an offer from R.C.A. and finally chose I.R.S. because it was an up an coming independent label known for letting artists make their own creative decisions.
Pretty close to the start of the movie ' 48 Hours' , Eddie Murphy is in a jail cell , I think he has headphones on and he's singing this song at the top of his lungs, hilarious.
"Message in a Bottle", and "Every Breath You Take" r some more Police classics
Sprits in the Material World is one of their best tunes. Don't Stand So Close to me was super possible.
BROS!!! The mother-F'n POLICE!! Seriously you can deep dive ANY album, their catalogue is SO goddamn good! And the mighty, mighty, mighty Stewart Copeland drumming like NOBODY else. He really is in a category all his own, he invented it, owns it, and sits there alone. Can't wait for more!!!
Stewart Copeland. Stewart Copeland. Stewart Copeland! That's the drummer. He's brilliant!
Steward Copland one of the greatest drummers ever!!!
Sting is a phenomenal vocalist but I think he played a bit of a "character" while singing this song which may be what Alex picked up on.
Exactly. He's an everyday kid on the streets of Kingston pouring out his heart.
Which Sting most definitely ain't!
@@danieljodrey709 well there's a Kingston in London
This is also Outlandos D'Amour, their first studio album in 1978, his vocal chops may have improved with experience.
@@brucemcfarling7810 Agreed.
That “scooping” and being slightly off but can sing his ass off is due to no auto tune! He can sing and doesn’t need correcting.
Giving you a big fat lovin ❤️ on that one man. Fuck auto tune.
Greg Platt Alex nailed it when he said Sting was slightly off pitch but in flawless ways. You can’t autotune nuance like that.
Spirits in the Material World, De Doo Doo Doo De Da Da Da, and Wrapped Around Your Finger are all amazing songs, but honestly all their songs are amazing😂😂
So glad The Police are getting some love on the channel, they were my first concert when I was about 10 years old 12ish years ago! Hope to see more of them!
Walking On The Moon....S-Tier for the high hat work alone
Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" would be great to react to.
I’ve been thinking that all week. Raphael Ravenscroft’s sax part is iconic.
I agree
“Right Down the Line” is a classic by Gerry Rafferty
Great reaction!! Stewart Copeland on drums. And the singer/bassist Sting has a lot of solo albums, and his voice is really beautiful in those recordings as well as the later Police albums. If I could recommend other Police songs, "Spirits in the Material World" or "Synchronicity".
Stewart Copeland is a beast on the drums. Love The Police.
I vote for having your next Police song be "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic".
One thing about it, it would explain why people are so bonkers about Stewart Copeland :)
Welcome to the sauce jungle gentleman! You want more of Stewart Copeland’s drumming?
Check out Driven To Tears as well as about 15 to 20 more. The Police contain multitudes...

I lived to hear someone describe Sting's voice as " a good bad voice". Classic !
You guys should listen to The Clash: "London Calling", "Guns of Brixton", "Spanish Bombs", etc....
I love that you guys are starting to get closer to some 80’s and punk tunes.
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic is my personal favorite Police song. Stewart Copeland shines.
I have heard this song my whole life to the point where I don't purposely listen to it anymore. It's interesting to hear someone else listen to it the first time and remember just how good it is.
Yep
“Don’t Stand So Close to Me” might be another great Police choice in my humble opinion. I think you will enjoy.
I can’t listen to this anymore without picturing Eddie Murphy singing to it in the 48 Hours movie😆
Walking on the Moon and King of Pain are both incredible. And since you’re on The Police, check out Fortress Around Your Heart from Sting’s first solo album after they broke up. It’s a phenomenal track with great lyrics and a chorus that Sting himself said was the best one he ever wrote. In fact Rick Beato did a video on it. Highly recommend!
Fortress! Heck yeah!
‘Every Little Thing She Does is Magic’ should be the next Police track y’all hit. Very good song.
There are at least 20 Police songs that they should listen before « Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic » lol.
@@Ogilla well they already hit it so. This is from a year ago.
I am surprised few have mentioned "Walking on the Moon", incredible drumming.
You’re next Police song should be “Don’t Stand so Close to me”.
The best, I love that song! Great call, and I know, I'm a year late lol.
The Police melded reggae and rock in a way similar to how Steely Dan melded jazz and rock, in that plenty of people who don't care much for reggae, can listen to The Police all day, just like with jazz and the Dan.
AH HA! I utterly despise jazz. It's musical masturbation in public as far as I'm concerned. But Steely Dan? The best, Jerry, THE BEST!
@@jongroubert4203 Thanks Bania!
@@jongroubert4203 I believe in these two approaches: 'Do it once. It's a mistake. Do it twice. It's Jazz'. Artistic creation in a nutshell.
If you want a true one-take Police tune, listen to “Murder By Numbers”. Written and recorded in a few short hours in Monserrat.
❤️ that song
Great song!
But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
This song holds a special place in memory. I was in the seventh grade when it came out and the "coolest" and best guy on the team played it on a loop. I was JV and new to the team but it made me feel like one of the guys.
The Police drummer is Stewart Copeland. He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2005, and the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2013. In 2016, Copeland was ranked 10th on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time". He’s composed soundtracks to dozens of films.
Right after Police he did an amazing album called “The Rhythmatist”. He traveled to Africa and recorded the sounds and rhythms and music of Africa and built an extraordinary album around it. It’s required listening!
Next up "When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around" and "Spirits in the Material World." 👍👍
Always liked “Wrapped around your finger” by them, super chill cruising around kind of song - also, you were supposed to play the Roxanne drinking game....missed opportunity lol
Exactly
Stuart Copeland is an amazing drummer. Your observation about putting him in any band and fitting right in is absolutely correct. There is a documentary on the Police where they interview Stuart while he's behind his set. The guy is an encyclopedia of different styles.
It's almost as if you guys have never turned on a radio before. Lol

Try "driven to tears/when the world is running down" by The Police(two songs that have to be heard together)
Voices in my head, Shadows in the Rain.... Zen. was the pinnacle of The Police, in MY opinion.
Yes.Yes.Yes on Driven to tears/when the world is runnin down.
I was looking for someone else to suggest the "Driven To Tears/When the World Is Running Down" combo, now I don't have to, lol. I'd also love to hear "Can't Stand Losin' You."
How about a twofer? 2 songs that run together.
"Driven to Tears / When the World is Running Down"
They’re my favorite 80’s band. The ska/pop sound was so catchy
the police are so underrated they have such amazing songs. “every little thing she does is magic” “wrapped around your finger” “next to you “ and “king of pain” are some of my absolute favorites by them
I see a lot of comments suggesting new wave stuff. I don't know if many would consider this new wave, but I would suggest INXS, "Dont Change", and "One Thing"
Patrick Olkowski New Sensation ❤️
Dont Change is the anthem of my youth. Hopelessly underappreciated
Also, The Fixx, "stand or fall" and SAGA'S "On the Loose"
Dream of the Blue Turtles is Stings's masterpiece. It's one of the greatest albums ever made, each song is perfection.
It's great. But I think "The Soul Cages," "Ten Summoner's Tales," and "Mercury Falling" are all equally stellar.
@@richardnanian6075 Oh absolutely, Fields of Gold is a beautiful song.
In the early 80s the police were the biggest band in the world, it's AMAZING and wonderful that you havent heard them before.
Best concert of my life - The Police, Synchronicity Tour at the Carrier Dome, second row. 1984. Around 2001, I was getting gas at a Chevron station in Hollywood when I ran into Stuart Copeland. I leaned over and read his credit card as he was handing it to the clerk to make sure it was him. I said "Stuart! Best concert of my life, The Police, Synchronicity Tour at the Carrier Dome, second row." He broke into a huge grin. Nice memory, both of those moments.
“His voice” would be STING.
In the words of Alan Partridge “that was the Police, or as they are now called Sting” 😂😂
@@levivalentinovideos the producer of this album really got the most out of Sting's amazing voice !!
Happy Friday ! In case ya haven't thought of it Sting lead singer here of the Police is also the Higher voice on Dire Straits Money For Nothing track !
Had no clue on that one! Dire Straits always knew exactly what they wanted, like Michael McDonald for Peg. Once you hear it, it can't be unheard!
Legends. Just straight up legends. They were barely able to stand each other sometimes but made some of the most epic music of all time. Side note: my hubby and I named both of our dogs after songs, Jett (Paul McCartney and Wings) and Rio (Duran Duran). I've decided our next dog is going to be named Roxanne because you won't be able to help but yell "Raaaaaahhhhxanne!" when you call her.
The lineup: Sting (Gordon Sumner), vocals and bass; Andy Summers, guitar; Stewart Copeland, drums are all top shelf musicians. The reason why they sounded so good together is because nobody tried to set himself apart from the others as to who was best at what they did. They all checked their egos and played at the same level all the time.
I can't think of any time that they didn't play together in that manner because they understood that in order for "the band" to sound good, they all needed to be at the same level. They gelled so well together without having to outdo each other. I honestly believe that had they even all tried to turn it up a notch, it would not have had the same effect.
Sometimes, less is more and The Police are a great example of this.
Now would be the perfect time to do “Watching the Detectives” by Elvis Costello and “Is She Really Going Out With Him” by Joe Jackson.
Yes!! Good call
I’m a huge EC fan. “Watching the Detectives” is great, and I love the first album in general, but it doesn’t have The Attractions playing behind him. For that first album, the backing musicians were the guys in Clover (most of whom, I think, went on to be in Huey Lewis and the News).
You need to go “This Year’s Model” to get the full EC sound. “Lipstick Vogue” would be a great choice. Pete Thomas’s drums are great and Bruce Thomas’s bass is phenomenal.
Richard Nanian True enough, and agreed. Still, regardless of what developed, I was trying to get equivalents to “Roxanne” as far as what first made the public aware.
I picked “Watching the Detectives” because it actually was the first tune with The Attractions. Did it even appear on the British first pressing? Anyhow, it was on the US first album.
I play bass, and I’m amazed Bruce Thomas isn’t widely celebrated. I still haven’t learned all his lines. If showing his playing was my goal, I’d pick “Lipstick Vogue” or, later, “Shabby Doll”...
Graham Maby was pretty hot, too. Nineteen seventy-seven through about 1983 was bass player paradise. New Wave was full of clever bass players. Check out William Mysterious on the Rezillos “Can’t Stand the Rezillos” album.
@@RobertERensch D'oh! You're absolutely right about "Watching the Detectives." And I should know, because I read Elvis's "Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink," in which he talks about the making of "My Aim is True." Thanks for the correction.
And yes, "Shabby Doll" is terrific. "Imperial Bedroom" as a whole may be his most critically acclaimed album. I admire it, but I often feel the need to hear his next album "Punch the Clock" right afterward. The exuberance of the TKO Horns is a welcome anti-depressant after the darkness of "Imperial Bedroom," and of course "Shipbuilding," with the Chet Baker solo, is a masterpiece.
I like Maby's work a lot; I'm a Joe Jackson fan from the beginning, and he also played with Graham Parker, who is the third and probably most under-rated of the three. I don't know the Rezillos; I'll check them out. Curt Smith plays some nice bass on Tears for Fears tracks. Pete Farndon of the Pretenders was good. But my favorite bassist of that period, without a doubt, is Colin Moulding of XTC. Nearly every bass line he came up with is worth listening to, and I would argue XTC relied on him more than any band relied on the bassist since the Who and Entwhistle.
Cheers.
I second that. It's about time Elvis got dragged into this 'reaction' universe. Any track off _Get happy,_ which is a masterpiece of pop songs, every one a gem.
When you say "I like that, that was a good chord" at the beginning, followed by the laugh, that was the lead singer (Sting) sitting on the piano accidentally and laughing. 😆
I think I said 'weird chord' lol, it was definitely out of place! hahahaha
My all time favorite band. Was waiting for your reaction to the Police & you did not disappoint. Thanks guys!
I believe his voice really pictures his feeling... he is desperate!
'Don't stand so close' is sooo cool!
"Don't Stand So Close To Me" I just love the opening .. Such a great song ..
Check out “Walking on the Moon”
Stewart Copeland is not only a phenomenal drummer but an amazing composer with numerous film scores as well as ballet in his repertoire. He’s a musical genius in every sense.
