The Police top 3

The Police were three member band and like The Rush sounded bigger than three musican playing. Too bad their best album was their last as they only made five albums.

Ranked from most favorite:

1. "Synchronicity II" from Synchronicity
2. ""Spirits in the Material World" from Ghost in the Machine
3. "Wrapped Around Your Finger" from Synchronicity

Wrapped Around Your Finger

1. Wrapped Around Your Finger (also coolest video)
2. Every Breath You Take
3. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

So Lonely
Too Much Information
Voices Inside My Head

honorable mention: O My God

So Lonely
Walking On The Moon
When The World Is Running Down

I don't think Synchronicity was their best album. Zenyatta Mondatta was the first really complete album for me in that it didn't contain any tossers like the first two albums (though Bombs Away was close). If I never hear tunes like Be My Girl, Contact, Born In The 50s or Any Other Day again, that's be fine by me. Synchronicity stayed in my rotation a long time, but songs like Mother, Tea In The Sahara, Miss Gradenko were skippers. Its a shame they broke up. I do like Sting's jazz-tinged solo turn, but wished the band had made a few more albums. They had a unique sound.

I like dingus' list though I might, perhaps, substitute "Shadows in the Rain" for "Secret Journey"...awesome, game-changing band, for sure...
