Austie it's time to turn the page. Roxxxxxannnneee you don't have to put on the red light...

I think you're right,  Tony

It's time for The Police.

Off ye go......

Milltown Row2

Every breathe you take
Message in a bottle
Then any one from
Walking on the Moon
Can't stand losing you
Roxanne

Notable mention, from a personal perspective is Invisible Sun, as I'm in the video when it was shot in Belfast, in fairness, not much taller more hair and a lot better looking!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

gallsman

Walking on the Moon
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
So Lonely

If adding Sting solo stuff to the mix, Englishman in New York would probably squeeze in.

Any who suggests De Do Do Do can get fucked into the sun.

MR2 did you know Frances Tumelty went to Rathmore? At least that's what I was told 30 odd years ago and have accepted as fact ever since.

Aye I knew she was married to Sting and there was his protests against the Brit occupation at the time, the video reflects that

Every breath you take
Roxanne
De do do do, de da da da


Does Sting  merit his own top 3?


Edit: oh,  gallsman is gonna kick my ass.

My favourite is the one with the Fields of Bali in it. Always wanted to go there just from the song alone

Tony Baloney

I put Sumner up there with Bono in the pantheon or horses arses and don't have much time for the solo stuff, but as for The Police:

Roxanne
Every Breath You Take
Don't Stand So Close To Me


weareros

King of Pain
Every Breath You Take
Message in a Bottle (aka a year has passed since i broke my nose)

In hiding

King of Pain
Message in a bottle
Synchronicity II

Captain Obvious

#2095
Every breath you take has been mistaken as a love song even played at Weddings as a first dance.

Sting said he wrote it after separating from his 1st wife and he felt like "Big Brother" from George Orwell's novel 1984 while writing the controlling lyrics

Lines like "every move you make" and "I'll be watching you" and  "you belong to me".


That song along with Message in a bottle and Roxanne make it into my top 3.

Puckoon

Solo Sting - totally agree it is in my top 3.

Although it is Barley.

Desert Rose is another I love

Ah I knew Puck, was hoping for a better bite lol

Though in fairness I wasn't always aware of this fact 🤭
