Re: The Police
The Police were three very talented individuals (as people have said, especially Stewart), creating a very, very strong band.
First album was brilliantly raw, second album was my favourite (as someone said 'Bring on the Night' is a fantastic song (I love 'It's Alright For You' too), third album was a bit lazy (the cocaine-fuelled arguments were probably taking over by then - that said, anyone that judges The Police by De Do Do Do presumably also judges David Bowie by The Laughing Gnome or The Little Drummer Boy), fourth album was my least favourite but I always enjoy it more than I expect when I play it, final album was very strong and a welcoming return to form.
Liked everything they did - singles, album tracks and b-sides (Landlord and Once Upon a Daydream are ace).
