What's your favorite song by The Police? Which band should I cover for this series next? Edit: Corrections alert! At 0:13 The band was called Last Exit, not "Last Exist." Also, at 0:19 I accidentally said "Summer" instead of "Sumner." Goodness gracious. Not a smooth start to the video. I'm sorry.

One reason that that Police have remained so relevant is that they broke up at the peak of their popularity after only 6 o so years in the spotlight. There's no awkward "trying to adapt to the 90s" arc in their history, no endless nostalgia-bait tours where both the band and the audience are increasingly old and sad, (I've been to too many of those), no revolving door of members. The Police remain pristine in memory, a short but monumental impact with great music. My personal favorite Police song is Synchronicity II.

And Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. Oh. Oh my..." I came to own all five albums, and got to know their music really well.

"The Beat Goes On" states that the Police sold even more tickets at Shea Stadium in NYC than the Beatles. But it's important to note that before the Beatles the whole concept of playing entire stadiums and arenas didn't even exist. They started the whole idea! Or at least their managers did. They were so huge that the usual venues back then like clubs and theaters just wasn't cutting it. Ironically their very first stadium concert was at the Shea Stadium mentioned. So the Police, and all the other bands of today have the Beatles to thank for that. Just one of the many ways the Beatles changed the whole music scene. Continually paving the way... Breaking new ground and breaking new records!

Voices Inside My Head and Bombs Away are the personal faves for their intensity of groove. Message in a Bottle was a lead vocal number for me, in my coverband era (2009-2015), with one of the earliest performances of it being a Tea Party rally in a baseball stadium, of all places. The band was doing a 1-hour warmup pre-rally, and Message was the set's closer. I could read the crowd and the moment, and before the refrain of "sending out an S.O.S.," I exhorted the crowd of about 6k to their feet to "sing along for our country." It was quite a moment, when the crowd did as I commanded. The lead guitarist's eyes gleamed, and he flashed a big grin, knowing that I had just put the audience in the palm of our collective hand. The drummer/bandleader's comment to me afterwards was that he was going to put me to work a lot. Being a rock star, even if only for a moment, means knowing how to become larger than life. Consider this another vote for doing a video on The Who, but I double dare an effort on Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Now THAT's a trio that we'll never see the likes of, again.

Thank you. Excellent information and documentary. Your production of the entire piece with its audio and video clips are amazing. The police are one of my favorite bands. When I got early cable TV and watched MTV, the Police videos were always fun, and Stewart, Andy and Sting fights were well documented. Sting is an amazing artist, and plays a wicked guitar also. You can see bits of his guitar playing while jamming with a band on their "Police Around The World" film I think from the early 1980's. It's a great video all the way. I had read somewhere that the reason Sting was wearing sunglasses on the police's first TV appearance was that Sting had irritated his eyes earlier by spraying a dye substance in his hair before the TV appearance ,causing his eyes to be not looking their best. I got to see the Police at the height of the band's fame. Rochester, NY, Summer of 1983 at now long demolished Aquinas (Hollander) Stadium. I remember winning tickets to the Synchronicity tour after naming the song question from a local radio station of the Hollies, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." Concert line-up - The Flock of Seagulls, The Fixx, and the Police. First song of the Police, "King Of Pain," Sting on Bass, a back-up musician on key boards behind him attempting to play the opening chords to King of Pain, but is doing the wrong chords.. Sting, quite irritated, walks back, bends over the keyboard and shows the player how to play the correct chords. Anyway, a fantastic outdoor, afternoon concert. But my one take away was that funny opening moment with "King Of Pain." 😃

They have the same sort of thing as The Beatles in that both groups were only together for a relatively brief period, had the one consistent lineup for the vast majority of their recording and touring history, and broke up while they were still extremely popular and in the spotlight. My favorite Police song is probably Synchronicity II although for an underrated tune I absolutely adore Canary in a Coalmine and find myself humming it quite a bit.

It’s “Sumner” not “Summer.” Actually, the first TV appearance for “The Police” was in 1978 on Top of the Pops as the masked-backing band for Stuart Copelands side project Klark Kent.

I had no idea the Police got their start playing with those guys. Cherry Vanilla and Wayne County (née Jayne County) were from Andy Warhol’s Factory and very influential on Bowie.

The police have so many hits, yet they somehow still remain underrated.

I love these videos, because I hate researching...also can you do either Kiss or Misfits (the 2 bands)

My favorite band after The Beatles! One of the most originals bands with top musicians.

Watched Beato's video with Andy Summers. Mighty interesting and entertaining.

I've always loved the Police, as a drummer myself, Stewarts drumming has always been in my no order top list drummers, Sting always loved his bass lines and his vocals are great, when you hear them you know it's Sting. Had the chance to see them when I was 16 in the mid 2000's reunion tour, it was fantastic

Stewart Copeland is a legend. Id say his talent alone was a massive part of the Police’s success. Anyone who wants to be a great drummer should listen to him play and really study him.

The older I get, the more I realize he might be the greatest drummer of all time.

@@mattbeatgoeson fair assessment. I’d place him in the top 3 for sure!

Sting wore those outrageously large sunglasses on their first TV performance because he and Stewart were goofing around backstage and Stewart accidentally sprayed hair spray in Sting’s eyes.

The Police was always one of my favorite bands. A lot of their songs go hand in hand with my favorite memories in life.

Now I think we need a musical drama biopic film about the band called “Every Breath You Take”

Favorite Police song? The B-side track called 'Friends'. Seriously underrated tune. Great beat, creepy vocals, sinister heavy sound, bizarre, thought-provoking lyrics. What's not to like?
