They're both pretty good

>>69583989
the police suck but I've heard good things about his early solo stuff

>>69583989
More like Stink tbqh

Some of the nineties stuff I like in its obnoxious adult-contemporariness, though.

What's his best album tho?

No Andy or Stewart, no good.

>>69583989
Great in The Police. Shit as a solo artist With the exception of Blue Turtles.

You have no idea what you're talking about, my man. His best records are Dream of the Blue Turtles and Nothing Like The Sun. By a landslide. All the Police albums are brilliant and criminally underrated. I haven't heard his latest LP, but his last few have been uninspiring. Sting has one of the all-time great voices in music.

>>69583989
Amazing vocals, shame he made pop music.

Damn it, /mu/ can talk shit a lot about sting but those four albums in particular are really fucking good stuff, with an honorable mention to Brand New Day

>>69583989
He gets a lot of stick but he's alright. Some of his solo work sounds quality. Charming and sophisticated.

(Gutted they didn't let you in the club I'm not suprised after you slagged them off, didn't you have a ticket? Not getting in then kek)

>>69583989
Didn't Copeland write most of The Police's music?

>>69588719
They have shared credits but it seems a lot of it is Sting / Copeland with a Summers song each album

>>69585398
This.

love the police, haven't heard much of his solo material.

>the police suck

As a person, he seems like an asshole, but as a musician, he's awesome. My favorite band of all time is without a doubt The Police, and I think they're super underrated. I liked Sting's 80's jazz type stuff, but it kind of went downhill in the 90's.

dream of the blue turtles

>>69589646
Mah nigga. I think they should've been the Beatles of the 80's.

On a separate note, 2016 has silently claimed Nigel Gray who produced the Police's first three albums. Can I get a F for fuck 2016 guys.

They never quite broke the American market enough.

Huge shame, particularly Stewart Copeland who I feel could have been an all time great (even though he kinda is).

>>69589646
>he seems like an asshole,
Why?
Have a look at some of the people loaded on the board, comparatively what's wrong with Sting?

>>69583989
Did he ever sang a high note live? I only hear g4s and some shitty falsettos, but never those belted a4s he is famous for.

>>69589879
What song would have a a4

>>69591023
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Synchronicity I, Wrapped Around Your Finger.
Did he ever sang those a4 on every little thing live? And let's not go to roxanne live, he tops at g4.
