(The Police) My top 25 Favorite songs

[ChuckyTheGoat]

You guys must be younger than me.

Outlandos d'Amour and Regatta de Blanc by far their best albums and I think I see only 1 song from either on Chuckys list.

Where's Roxanne? Cant stand losing You? Beds Too Big??

This list hurts my heart a little :\

Opti, by my count I have: 3 from Outlandos and 4 from Regatta.
...I definitely see the broad appeal of The Police across all their albums.

I looked back at the track lists. GHOST did actually win the prize w/ seven songs on my list.

How did this not make the list. LOL

Those two are up there. Bed's Too Big didn't make the cut.

I could easily list fifteen more Police songs. "Murder by Numbers" is another good one.

Oh. Not sure how i missed them.

I do think i could come up with almost a different top 25 to yours still! But I love there early reggae/pop fun songs more than later political/deep stuff.

They do have more great songs than most bands of all genres.



If you like police you might some Aussie bands from the period you probably haven't heard of.

Good one, khicks. Considered it. Not every song can make the cut.

Catchy song. One of the few where Stewart took lead vocals. Maybe not up to The Police standard.

This sentiment means pretty much nothing, but if I were to list three tracks off each album that I'd happily listen to right now (i.e. not Roxanne, like I mentioned), they would be:

Outlandos: Can't Stand Losing You, Next to You, Born in the 50's

Regatta: It's Alright for You, On Any Other Day, Does Everyone Stare

Zenyatta: Canary in a Coalmine, Bombs Away, When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around

Ghost: Invisible Sun, Spirits in the Material World, Rehumanize Yourself

Synchronicity: Miss Gradenko, Synchronicity II, Mother

Great stuff, magpie. Everyone has their personal favorites.

Re: Ghost in the Machine, Stewart talked about how challenging the drum-beat was on Spirits in the Material World. I really think they were going for a more experimental sound on GHOST.
