[b]Some of their more popular songs include:[/b] Every Breath You Take [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs[/media] Roxanne [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T1c7GkzRQQ[/media] Message in a Bottle [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLFF2P8fInI[/media] So Lonely [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ1sTL_TYUM[/media] Go listen to them now! They are undoubtedly my favorite band. And my apologies if there was already a thread about them, when I searched nothing came up.

My cousin worked for Sting, gardening his massive house in England. I met him there once, he's a pretty cool guy.

Andy Summers partially inspired me to play guitar. Sting inspired me to play bass.

Does facepunch seriously not like the Police?

My favorite is probably "Can't Stand Losing You". The line about suicide is just so creative.

The Police are pretty sweet I have Zenyatta Mondatta on vinyl

I have ghost in the Machine on vinyl, but I also have all of them on CD. I saw them at Fenway Park in 2007.

not that bad

I went to their concert here in chicago in 2008

The first band that I really really got into when I was a young kid. Obviously my tastes developed and I moved to other music as well, but The Police will always hold a special place in my heart as one of my first favourites.
