The eighties was pretty grim for most working -class people in London. The highlight was -some- of the music. The Police was one of the bands I first got into, along side the Jam and the Rolling Stones. The music from good bands never dies!

      that's why if guys are intelligent enough that wanted to make it in pop rock, then study everything you can; mainly jazz, which got more important than ever in the 80s to have something else to fall back on. one girl i was involved with briefly in the 90s, didn't like his playing, and i knew right off the bat it was because she didn't understand what he was doing at all. so, you can have the brains and talent, but you still need to understand how to make something like Stuy's drumming work.

    Every Breath became the most widely pervading legacy due to its poppy quality, covers and remixing etc. Message in Bottle, also quite poppy, remains a solid and pretty popular radio song. But Roxanne is THE iconic song. In itself, it is simply out there on its own. It broke the norms and established the band as unique. Still, Walking on the Moon is, for me, the most sublime.

      Hi, just curious why S O S using "an" ? Im still studying English so only make sure am I right or not.

      @@noisynoisetv7220 S is a consonant but S is pronounced as "Es" so that's an "Eh" sound which is a vowel. Therefore we use "an" and not "a"

    The song is absolutely incredible. The lyrics and the voice of Sting, the amazing riff and tone of Andy and the drumming of Stewart that changes through the whole song. Third verse hi hat work is one of the best I’ve heard.

      I don't know about the technicalities of drumming technique, but right from their first album I sensed the drumming was special, and now my assessment has been confirmed in the Internet Age.

      Replying from the Future- its Summer of 2023,
      (Prince and) Morris Day & the Time's '777-9311' being broken down by drummers led me to 'the Pocket Queen' who had THIS song as one of the top five that influenced her. I hadn't noticed how Copeland's drumming changed throughout the song, I'd always concentrated on Sting's Bass playing.
      Now, I'm gonna go back and (re)listen to it again...

      The breakout at the end with the asynchronous open to the ride is classic Copeland and worth the ticket money on its own. Love the style, love the sound!

      This is such wonderful song to listen to. These guys made it great. The song is a great song, but you need the Police to make it even better.
