I could add a place in time to each one of those songs. No matter where we were, we knew when a Police song came on the radio. They've always had such a distinctive sound. In the early days the were influenced by reggae . They influenced my generation from the first drawn out syllable of "Roxanne." A painful ache, a longing. We identified. Each song is one more bit of nostalgia.
Kiddo just informed me that The Police even have a song on Guitar Hero (Playstation 2). She was playing it yesterday.
Through the span of decades right up until today, we can find many bands that have been influenced by them as well. Some that site their Police-influenced songs are: Daysahead, The Rapture, K-os, and Mennen.
Anywho, back to my favorite song on the police cd dilemma... OK, in no particular order: Roxanne, Message in a Bottle, Don't Stand So Close to Me.
I'll leave you wondering out the lyrics from Canary in a Coalmine...
Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions
You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
