Awesome pairing such a huge fan of both artists and the police for me just have that special place in my heart how many bands have 5 awesome albums in a row and ended on top of the world and what they could've done if they stayed together
Thanks for the vid, Paul and Happy New Year to you and your channel.. JJ all the way for me. You forgot (or just neglected) to mention one big thing that the albums have in common. They were both on the A&M label! A&M went big on New Wave also distributing the IRS label.
As much as I love The Police and this album, it is no contest for me. The only one that even came close was the battle between your two number ones, and even then, I think JJ takes it. But hey, Look Sharp is one of my all-time favorite albums, so stacking it up against just about anything is simply unfair.
Joe Jackson vs Elvis Costello would have been better. They've always been considered together, two angry young men playing snappy, catchy, smart early new wave. Look Sharp vs My Aim is True or better yet, I'm the Man vs This Year's Model. Not sure who pairs well with The Police, they were pretty unique.

Yeah, I went with the broad stroke comment "these albums have a lot in common" and left it at that. But yes, they are both on A&M
I agree with you if i had to choose a winner would be the police but very close
I'm more of a Joe Jackson fan so I expected that one to win, but the Police album is so great that it held its own.
Hi Paul! What is that type of hat called? I have always wanted one. Great video.
Thanks! This is called an "apple jack" or a "news boy" hat. If you google those terms you'll get a few variations, but basically that's the style.

Yeah, as I wrote to another commenter, I'm more of a JJ fan but the Police record is so good that it stood up to Look Sharp for me.
I always wanted those shoes!!
Love this series. So Lonely is a top yen song for me. Police is more my Jam. Love this series,
Thanks!
Sterling work.
