So were they just trying to be like Remain in Light?

How in the blue bloody blazes does Synchronicity sound anything like Remain in Light?

basically stings first solo record

If your mom likes the police chances are shes pretty cool.

And no, this album is nothing like remain in light, but 80's pop rock is a great fucking genre and very underrated.

Just look at The Outfields "Play Deep"

you continue to baffle me, Montie

>>73833287

Where did you come up with such a thoughtless comparison?

>>73833695
By RYM users mostly. The fact that Asia is not a 4/5 baffles me

The weird thing is the Police and Talking Heads both evolved really quickly, at around the exact same time. Their two greatest records both occured in 1979-1980 with Remain in Light and Zenyatta Mondatta actually released within a week of each other. They both added worldbeat at about the same time. The only difference is that the Police used reggae added to a bit of jazz as a base, as opposed to the Heads who used funk as a base.
Both, to me, are the peak of New Wave but I give a slight edge to the Police. Synchronicity sounds nothing like Remain in Light. However, does anybody sound like either band?

Good points, but you've got their best records wrong......Police's was Regatta and Talking Heads was MSAB&F

>>73834009
Go be retarded somewhere else Montie

>>73834061
Yep - and Talking Heads 'Stop Making Sense' tour took place almost simultaneously with Police Synchronicity tour, which would be their last.

That would have been a good time.

Do you just think every new wave album is a Talking Heads wannabe?

>>73834762
Well isn't it odd that a vast majority of new wave bands sounded awfully similar to the Talking Heads?

that song is literally members of Talking Heads...
The Police played reggae-tinged New Wave.
Talking Heads played afropop-tinged New Wave.

They're two different regions being appropriated.

Wailing guitars, off-key instrumentation, quirky instrumentation
