    You should check out some Two Tone (UK Ska, fusion of post-punk british music and Jamaican Ska) from the late 70s, a band to checkout is 'The Specials' and song suggestions 'Gangsters', 'A Message to You, Rudy', 'Too Much to Young' and 'Ghost Town'. You can hear the The Special influences in some of Ren's music. The Police and The Clash where around the same time when they started :)

      100% I love the Specials! I was born during their heyday, so I didn't 'discover' them until much later in life, but once I caught on, they became one of my all-time favorite groups. I was also fortunate enough to see their reunion tours after I'd already become a huge fan. They didn't disappoint live either. There are so many great tracks to choose from! Ghost Town, Do Nothing, It's Later Than You Think, Blank Expression, A Message To You Rudy, Too Much Too Young, Doesn't Make It Alright, You're Wondering Now... They are not only ska gods but just great musicians regardless. I highly recommend them.

    Amazing 3 piece band. Stewart Copeland is the drummer and he is one of the best ever. He's does a lot of composing now. Sting playing bass and singing...that ain't easy. And Andy Summers, great guitarist. All so accomplished. You really should listen to more of their stuff - they were highly influenced by Reggae and you can hear it in a lot of their early songs. Their biggest hit is Every Breath You Take but I would definitely not start there. Don't Stand So Close to Me, Walking on the Moon, Roxanne are just the 1st three I'd suggest for you. Then moving onto to some of their "later" stuff like Synchronicity. IT's a great band to discover and I'm a little jealous that you get to hear all for the first time :) Have fun!

And their first hit 'Roxanne' surely was something new and as the main melody may sound quite simple, that song evolves to the last second.

Sting has a fantastically mellifluous voice, but Stuart Copeland’s drumming is truly genius he writes and composes brilliant music for movies too. Andy Summers is a very original guitar player who has a great deal of emotion in his way of playing, whilst keeping the punkiness in his style. Most people know tracks from the Outlandos D’Amour and Reggatta De Blanc albums, but my favourite album is Ghost In The Machine specifically the track Spirits In The Material World. My favourite single is Roxanne and this track Message In A Bottle.

    Interesting fact about them; Sting was the band’s song writer. Sting is so talented that he would create these songs by himself, play the bass, guitar and drums as well as sing the songs, record them, then hold on to them until the band was ready to drop another album. Stew said he would hear Sting’s recordings and be like, “he didn’t even need us. By the time Andy and I heard the song it was already good enough to release”. Of course Sting didn’t do that and re-recorded his songs with the band until he was ready to leave them and become a solo artist… and history has shown just how successful he became on his own. The guy is like a musical freak of nature. SOOO talented

    I loved these growing up. Quadraphinia was on our video recorders for years. My mum brought me up dancing around the house to ska, rock, reggae, soul, Motown. Our home was built around good tunes 👌🏻

    I'm sure you're familiar with "I'll be missing you" by Puff, Faith Evans, 112; that song samples "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. I've listened to The Police for years but till now didn't realize how much you can hear the inspiration in Ren's style. Keep up the great content BP.

    Great to see you diving into one of Ren's heavier influences - they are great, but Sting is a living legend
    another classic Police song is "Walking on the moon" definitely worth hearing to see how Reggae creeps into the music and another enriching Ren puzzle-piece :)

    I love seeing people reacting to music outside of their comfort zones and experiencing more than just what they are used to. I am lucky in that I grew up in different parts of the country with many different friends with different tastes in music. I grew up in Texas and was exposed to country, grew up in Washington at the height of grunge, grew up in a Christian household that (at the house) was only exposed to either Christian music or Oldies (50s-70s), grew up in the 80s listening to timeless songs from that decade. All music should be experienced and celebrated. Keep up the wonderful work.

    This is from their 2nd album. Their first hit was probably 'Roxanne', but they have a string of hits. You'll probably recognise 'Every Breath You Take' from it being sampled by Puff Daddy.
    A lot of different sounds in their songs ranging from punk to rock, and love to incorporate reggae in there too throughout their existence.

    “Roxanne” was their first big song (It wasn't their first single, but it was the song that got them really well known), and in the same year (1978) they released "Can't stand losing you", which was another really popular, big song by them. It's hard to actually say what their biggest song was, they had so many massive ones, but those 2 will def be on anyone's list of big Police tunes.
    Personally I really love "Walking on the Moon"

    There was a The Police album (possibly a greatest hits album) in the collection of CDs my dad would pack in the car whenever we went on summer holiday to the south of france. So this song just transports me back to the summers of my youth and its incredibly comforting and nostalgic. Even as an adult now, I love The Police.

    More memories from my 20s... This song was played every hour on the radio when it was hot circa late 1979/early 1980. One of the Police (bunch of Aussies) early hits. This video was common to what I was seeing on MTV, back when MTV still did music videos. Great reaction as always... I really enjoy seeing you get off on the songs that I grew up on. Seeing the light in your eyes and the smile on your face when it connects with you. Keep on doing it BP, you're the BEST! OBTW, one of my favorite Police hits was Don't Stand So Close to Me... great "story song".

    Number 1 for them in Britain, after quite a tough period trying to get attention. Kind of lumped in with post-punk or even the ska movement, despite not coming from that background at all. Guitarist Andy Summers was essentially a jazzer from the 1960s finding fame after some years. In a short period of time they seemed to become the biggest act in Britain and then the world.

    Sting - All This Time dvd is a must watch. He gathered musicians at his home in Italy to remake a bunch of songs. The day before the final concert at his home, 9-11 happened. It captures all of them debating on whether they should even play. It is a fascinating dvd.
