Sting is one of the greatest lyricists in rock history.
Facts
My top:
1. Message in a bottle
2. Wrapped around your finger
3. Synchronicity I
4. Spirits in the material world
5. King of pain
6. Every breath you take (can relate with social media today)
7. Walking on the moon
8. Bring on the night
9. Secret journey
10. Roxanne
Man, I felt this was a piece of cake lol. Took some research and time to reflex.
I'm glad that you put Synchronicity 1 in your top ten. I think it's much better than Synchronicity 2. I also love "secret Journey"
Reflect * ?
Synchronicity album is pure GOLD ! And "Wrapped around your finger" is flawless
"When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best What Stil...." it's a very good underrated song
Murder by Numbers is Soo underrated. Those bizarre chords, the incredible drumming, the lyrics… and I still don’t know what time signature that song is in
Can't Stand Losing You and So Lonely are my faves..
Same, haha, so humorous and depressing
So?
redpoop78 lonely
BB13131313 yes, i Think can’t stand losange you is the best
Exactly my favourite two too.
My Top 10
1. Message In A Bottle
2. When The World Is Running Down
3. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
4. Voices In My Head
5. Hole In My Life
6. Regatta De Blanc
7. Walking On The Moon
8. Omegaman
9. Canary in a Coalmine
10. Masoko Tanga
Honorable mention: Driven To Tears
-Tough to come up with just 10 and I left out some damn good songs but these are mine.
The most criminally underrated police song is Canary in a coal mine
I KNOW RIGHT
GhostFromSparta THAT TOO OMG
Secret journey :)
"The beds too big without you" might beat it.
Voices inside my head is another underrated police song
People played "Every Breath You Take" at their weddings?! Wow. Just... wow.
if the guy doesn't know the meaning of the lyrics but the girl does... awkward
so funny - I heard about this -- Sting said he didn't understand how people didn't get it was about a creepy stalker and NOT a lasting love... reminds me of a friend who said she really wanted the Patsy Cline song "Crazy" (I know - written by Willie Nelson) - played at her wedding... really? what about "I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted... and then someday.. you'd leave me for somebody new...") --
You chose poorly
People also play R.E.M.'s "The One I Love" at weddings. It's not a love song. The lover is "a simple prop to occupy my time." Losing my Religion is directly inspired by Every Breath You Take.
@@GinMae that is funny what you wrote. It would be like a couple choosing iron maiden prowler for their wedding song.
Sorry, but "Wrapped Around Your Finger" deserved to be in the Top 10
Agreed.
Yes, it should have been higher on the list than synchronicity and king of pain.
AGREED!
Totally; it only won a Grammy FFS...
It's borderline easy listening, or smooth jazz. Lyrics are typically damaged and great but the music.........bleh!
The one you missed has me Driven to Tears.
Spirits in the material world?
Dan AHA YES ? 😂
Agreed, but not even an honorable mention for "Murder By Numbers"? The fans DEMANDED that one be included on Sync!
YES!!! My absolute favourite one...it has such a haunting sound, real gem. X

King Of Paint
(Not in that order)
Natalie Clarke king of paint?
@@Metal9040 I LOVEEEEE king of paint 🎨
King of pain is one of my favorites.
Wow yet another video that I've been waiting for for so long just like top 10 cult classic action movies and I wrote a comment in that video about how I've been waiting so long for that... My point is is that you guys have been making a lot of good videos lately so keep it up
Gratz to 5M mojo!
Unpopular opinion: I wasn't too much of a fan of the Police's reggae-heavy style stuff. :/ I don't mind some elements like in "Don't Stand so Close" and "Everything she does" but the ones that are more reggae don't do anything for me.
Those are the best LOL
That’s their main genre tho, they’re a reggae fusion band. It’s like saying you like the Beatles but don’t like the harmonies 😂 no hate just talking
hey what about sting alone top 10
1. Englishman in New York
2. Fortress Around Your Heart
3. Fields of Gold
4. All This Time
5. Be Still My Beating Heart
6. Fragile
7. Desert Rose
8. The Wild, Wild Sea
9. I Was Brought to My Senses
10. Fill Her Up
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
If You Love Somebody (Set Them Free)
Moon Over Bourbon Street
They Dance Alone
I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying
Russians
Alex M Bye 👋
great list, watchmojo! :D
I saw their Synchronicity Tour in 1984 and their Reunion Tour in 2007=They're still my favorite group ever!
Do the Top 10 Billy Joel songs, that would be so awesome :D
*The Police have such a 'clean' sound. But I suppose a lot of that has to do with meticulous recording production.*
They are all great musicians in their own right but Stewart Copeland's wizardry on the drums/cymbals is just so 'crisp'. He's gotta be one of the fastest drummers on earth.
I miss them (as a band). 😞
Thanks for this top10 list!💕
Hey, in the near future could you make a top 10 song video on Powerman 5000?

Chris Pontius Just to show the older ppl that theres still young ppl out there who appreciate the classics.

1. O My God
The Bed's Too Big Without You and Driven to tears?...
"Wrapped Around Your Finger" should have been in the top 5.
I agree with the choices if not the placement; kudos for recognizing "Invisible Sun" as an HM, which I've always felt was their most underappreciated song...
Can't argue with that list. Have had the pleasure of seeing both The Police and Sting live and they did not disappoint.
Clearly the UK has better taste than the US.
this has always been true but UK is slipping with that One Direction bullshit
Dont worry the beatles, led zeppelin and queen are here to beat the shit out them
TheSpacecraftX but, but... Nirvana?? They're from Aberdeen...
TheSpacecraftX CLEARLY
@@stephenbentley7314 also we got black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, def leppard, Saxon, and many more.
My favourite, is King Of Pain/Spirits In The Material World.
Soundtrack for "Leaving Las Vegas", although a solo Sting project, will always have a special place in my heart.
1. Spirits in the material world
2. Synchronicity 2
3. Driven to tears
4. Every little thing she does is magic
5. Wrapped Around Your Finger

10. Voices inside my head
Top 10 Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, please!
Yes.
Check out my top 10 skynyrd songs if you like.
Jomme de Jong Yeah good idea I want a top 10 Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, denk je ook dat Sweet Home Alabama op één zal staan en Free Bird op twee??? :) :) :)
I approve this list
Growing up as a kid, my dad had The Best of The Police burned onto a copy for long car rides. It was saddled right next to Van Morrison and Steely Dan tracks. As a twenty-one year old music business major, that stuff is still played by me to this very day. I think it may be my most requested CD. As in, "Dad, can put on The Police?"
Good stuff, WM. My only true gripe is the exclusion of "Canary In A Coalmine". It's a personal favorite, and one of the most multifaceted songs The Police ever created. Just think how many acts could cover that song, and it would still sound good. Billy Joel, The Ramones, Blue Öyster Cult, Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler. If only.
Also, not to drop names, but all the bands I listed are fair game. Videos on them in the future, please.
My top 10:
1. Don’t stand so close to me
2. Spirits in the material World
3. When the world is running down your still the best that’s around
4. Every little thing she does is magic
5. Money for Nothing (I know this isn’t police, but sting was the vocalist so yea)
6. Wrapped around your finger
7. Every breath you take
8. Can’t stand losing you
9. Walking on the moon
10. Message in a bottle
Confucius' prediction for the top 5(not in order): Roxanne, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Every Breath You Take, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Message in a Bottle.
your wrong
Confucius is amazing! Four out of 5 and a HM. You all must give in and lay your faith with Confucius. I know everything!
kiu
Wrapped Around... was the only song not in the top five but was a HM. What now?
HM means it was 11 or higher that isn't near top 5
kiu you mean honourable mention?
