    The Police are an amazing band. I grew up listening to them. Every single they released was fire. 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

    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.

    Was lucky enough to see their reunion tour about 20 years ago. My first ever rock concert. Remember being amazed how three guys could totally enthral a stadium full of people. The drummer played a contraption made of hanging bottles and other stuff (hope I remember this right), for "Caravan" I think - it was magical.

    This song made such an impact upon its release. Nothing like it had been heard before.

    “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"

    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.

    Roxanne one of the first big hits
    Don't Stand So Close to Me
    Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
    Synchronicity 1 and 2
    Every Breath You Take
    Wrapped Around Your Finger
    (this last one is where you can really tell Sting used to be an English teacher... who else would reference the Scylla and Charybdis in a rock and roll song?)

    If you listen to Roxanne, you can hear the influence on Ren's vocal technique in Screech's Tale when he sings the line "Screech, dear boy, WHERE DID HE GO?" ❤

    I was lucky enough to see The Police 3 times here in Australia. The first two times at a average sized venue. The third and last time was an outdoor arena style venue on their farewell tour in 1983. It was an all day event with 6 other support acts.
    I love you too react to Roxanne which I would say was their breakout song. Possibly their biggest hit that you may even recognise is Don't Stand So Close To Me. But that's one of many hits the Police had in their fairly short existence as a band.

    Sting really was a teacher and apparently this song is based on his personal experience. The shirt he is wearing is 'The Beat' an English Ska band from the early 80s. You could check out 'Save it for Later' and 'Mirror in the Bathroom'.

  • @thetr00per30

    Probably the best pop/rock band of all time imho. They really fill their own niche though because what are they? Pop? Rock? Punk? Reggae? World Beat? Sounds as fresh and unique today as it did when I first heard them. The Doors and Sublime are another two bands that capture that uniqueness, obviously very different bands, but all carved out their own little patch of ground I would say.

  • @Penddraig7
    @Penddraig7 9 місяців тому +12

    Every Breath You Take is an obvious suggestion but I won’t say why, I will leave that for you to experience when you listen to it and another suggestion is Roxanne as it’s the one Ren references in Losing It

    • @stephanievespie9246

      I agree. I was also kicking up my heels in those days and "Roxanne" and "Every Breath you take" are the songs that made an American girl fall in love with an English band. I've followed Sting ever since and never been disappointed.

    You HAVE to listen to more of The Police. They were serious musicians, and the drummer is a hugely respected top drummer and composer. Then take a listen to some of Sting’s music as it is superb and so varied. His solo album Dream of the Blue Turtles is seriously different in styles and is fantastic. I have all the music both Police & Sting. He’s a storyteller writer. Some of his songs really go on a journey..

    Sting is also an actor, he was in the original 1984 film Dune! Playing the lead character Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. Sting didn't really want to be in Dune. He did not have blockbuster sci-fi acting ambitions, but was coaxed into the role by David Lynch, who had seen him in Brimstone and Treacle. “I'm doing Dune because of David Lynch and for no other reason,” Sting told Rolling Stone in a 1983 interview.
