Few bands in history have enjoyed the impact the Police created when they started up in the late seventies. Nobody knew who they were, but when Sting began belting out “Roxanne” over the radio airwaves, it was the beginning of an era. Through five studio albums – and God willing, perhaps the recently reunited band will provide us with a sixth album in the not too distant future – the band had its share of hit singles, in particular “Every Breath You Take,” which was a global #1. But many less acclaimed songs on each record were works of art in their own way, and a sampling follows after you click here.

How shady is it that the only reason I created this entry was so that I could give Mike a momentary bit of crap for not including “Miss Gradenko” as one of his selections…?
Yay for including both “Canary In A Coal Mine” and “Man In A Suitcase” from Zenyatta. I always preferred “Shadows In The Rain” in its jazzier, more upbeat version on Sting’s The Dream of the Blue Turtles.
I always really liked “Born in the 50’s” as well from the debut.
No Miss Gradenko, Does Everyone Stare or Omega Man????
