Anyone else into their music? I just started liking them. I guess I'm a little late. I bought "Ghost in the Machine" a few weeks ago and liked it so much I bought their other four albums today.. I've got a lot of "new" music to absorb right now!

EDIT: I just looked at your age. Christ I'm old. You were born at the same time the band was born.
Also, Stewart Copeland released a movie "Everybody Stares" which is comprised of home movies he made while on the road with the band.

I have no definiton. It's like the judge who said something along the lines of I'll know if it's obsecne when I hear/see it. I consider music "good" when I listen to it and like. It's that simple. I can't give you an equation of what equals "good" music.

The Police had SO MANY 'hits' while i was growing up, (way back in the 80's!) that i couldn't help but like them. After you've explored the Police catalog, i would recommend Sting's solo cd "Ten Summoner's Tales." It's very mellow, but not so much so that it will put you to sleep. I used to listen to this cd alot during my college days while i studied.

The Police was a great band, but The Clash they were not!
(not that they tried to be)
Like any great band, many of The Police's best songs weren't necessarily hits, yet their string of hits are undeniably incredible.

Sting walked by me at my job, I mumbled turn around and sing
Mihi cura futuri.
The elements they speak to me.

so cute they are
I even rocked my Synchronicity tour shirt at the first Pearl Jam Gorge show this year. Because the police rock. And..... Andy Summers DID mention that he and Stewart Copeland jammed recently- and that the possibility of a Police reunion in the near future was not toooo too far fetched... I am keeping my fingers crossed...
Yes, I think your right.. I like The Clash more than the Police because they are more punk and dirty but must admit that The Police were better musicians the sound was more cleaner... they took it more seriously....The Clash also had a more revolutionnary songwriting (think pf "guns of Brixton") who wasn't perfect but fir me and surely an ten tousand The Clash were great too...........
Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
actually,King of Pain......also a great song.
This is what I listen to when I listen to the Police.
I respectfully disagree with you on this one .
If we would attribute the breakup to any inner- band personal issues , I'd say it was due more to the fact that Sting was clashing ( pardon the pun ) with Copeland . These guys are very very similiar and have similiar personality traits ( like control, maybe ? ) I remember even seeing an interview where Copeland threw water into Stings face, and they proceeded to get into a wrestling match - all on camera- as Andy just sat by as the innocent bystander . I also know that Andy has gone on to do alot of Producing in the Music Industry .
As much as I would love to see a reunion, I just dont see it happening . Sting has gotten to big for himself, and his ego has surpassed his desire to share the spotlight with 2 other musicians onstage .

WTF?
What else is he doing...because it appears that his "solo career" is a bit quiet right now? I don't get it...
One of my favorites.

hehe.
i refer to them nowadays as 'the pearl jam of my youth'....:D so yea, i LOVE em! they were HUGE for me, my first concert ever...bit obsessive...and oh my...i was totally infatuated with stewart copeland, thought him beautiful...and hell yes, i measure all drummer's talents against him. GREAT band. :cool:
:eek:
*salivates*
who wants to get me this for christmas?
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
back in the day...i had just about anything anyone from the band produced...musically or otherwise. have to say, andy's not a half-bad photographer either.
lucky for my hubby i never got to meet, and thus marry as i always planned to
and yes, the collaboration between fripp and summer is excellent stuff. the police were a very rhythym-driven band, understandably with a singer/bass player at the helm...but summer's guiter riffs added unmistakable, and SO necessary, flavor to the bass/drums driving the band's work.
*edit - damn typos...spelling...pathetic grammar!
