Where do The Police rank amongst all time rock bands?
 

I see they are on tour.

Top 10 for me. maybe Top 5 but i would have to think about it.

top 20.... but they are not good

It's one of the only rock bands that had a modicum of crossover appeal with African-Americans so I'd say that it ranks VERY high...

They had some fucking hits that's for sure.

Top 5 for me... possibly Top 3.

Sting's "Soul Cages" came out at the right time for me in my life.... been a huge fan of his body of work ever since.

I saw thim back in the day when they still had some *spirit*. See them live if you can, they helped put Toronto on the map by doing a yearly event here called "The Police Picnic".

This proves I am 2257 compliant!

definitely top 10

Soulseek "fall out", song kicks fucking ass

sting and the police rock. Dont know about rankings as im not a huge music fan.

i'm not a huge music guy - love it but i'm not obsessive like most people are about it but The Police are different for me - I saw them quite a few times in small clubs before they broke big. When you're a fan of a band or artist before they become major acts it's just neat. Sucks usually when they become mass accepted but The Police were different - they never sold out and Sting went where he wanted to go with his interest in jazz.

I'd put them Top 10 or 20... there have been some amazing acts in history.

For me personally and what I grew up with.. Top 10 absolutely.

I saw them in November, they were great. Just the 3 of them on stage, no backing singers or musicians and they sounded awesome.

Actually, every song was great except Dont Stand So Close To Me. Theyve experimented with a few of them and they slowed down the chorus and it came across a bit lounge music-like. On the flipside, When the World is running down you make the best of whats still around was really good.

Don't know much from them but what I know is nice.

Every Breath You Take - everyone knows it, one of the biggest classics of all time.

Roxanne is cool too, though I like the George Michael - version better.

Top 100, maybe

way up there, i learned to play bass to them, happy fun music with morbid lyrics

In terms of musicianship for me they are in the top 10. I love the police and Stewart Copeland is one of my all time favorite drummers (I play drums) but I can't take them for too long.

don't stand so,
don't stand so,
don't stand so close to me

I think top 25, not top 5 . Sting is a bit of a tosser, good at what he does though . Copeland is a great drummer, I too jammed along w/ his playing. (I drum too):GFYBand

They are number 1 with me and always have been!

King of Pain is my favorite Police song.

alice in chains is number 1 rock band

Kids today like the hippity hop mumbo jumbo.I'd rate them in the top 100

Way too soft rock for me.

I would say top 10, they had a very unique sound and for three guys to sound so full on stage.

They were just out here last week.

top 20 easy

Gotta share this. Back 1987, I worked for a photo lab. (Color Group Elmsford NY) Every Friday at 4:45pm the would BLAST "Roxanne". Put out the red light...Wow looking back what great times.:GFYBand
