As a percussionist myself, I think it’s fair to say Stewart Copeland is one of the most technically proficient drummers alive today and definitely ranks in the top 10 rock drummers of all time. Don’t forget, like Rush, this is a band with three members so all that sound is coming from a bass, a lead guitar, and drums. Copeland is working overtime in almost every police song in much the way Neil Peart did for Rush.

Yes, a very progressive drummer (and even played in an actual prog band before he was in The Police, Curved Air). And not only that, a great composer in his own right. I happen to love “Does Everyone Stare (The Way I Do)”, and also his soundtracks to Rumblefish and the original The Equalizer tv show scoring.

They are one of my favorite bands and music. They have been around since the late 70s up to about 2003. They didn't stay together as a band as long as we all would have liked but with Sting being such a big talent he's still going. Stewart Copeland still does music as well composing. But yeah if you missed them when they came up it seems like they haven't been around like other bands of their time.

The Reggae influence in British rock in the late 70s early 80s was significant. The Clash had a lot of Reggae beats and you also had the Ska trend with bans like The English Beat, The Specials, The Selector and Madness as well as many others. On an aside Stewart Copeland was in what I call a mutant supergroup called Oysterhead with Les Claypool of Primus and Trey Anastasio of the band Phish.

Several years ago Sting was playing close by and i decided to go to a local airport thinking he'd fly out of there after his show. Well, he did. And the private gate the car had to go through to get to the tarmac was not opened yet so their cars had to stop. I was standing there with a tshirt I got from a concert in 2000 as well as many cd covers. I leaned towards my friend and said "if he rolls down that window I'm gonna sh*t my pants". Two seconds later the window rolled down and he was right there and told us to come up to the car. Signed my shirt and numerous cd covers. Was an amazing experience!

I'll never understand why Stewart (who is easily one of the top 5 greatest drummers of all time) never brought along at least a snare and a cymbal to these video shoots? Because in video after video as Sting and Andy play their instruments, Stewart is left tapping on a chair or a wall or a space capsule and mostly dancing like a spazz. I always feel bad for him...although I think he did pretty okay for himself ;)

Andy Summers had been studying classical guitar before joining the Police and had been recording with blues and jazz artists. His use of a chorus pedal and an Echoplex EP-3 which became so influential, synched up with Sting's ability to harmonize with the guitar lead, then add in Copeland's jazz/reggae beats and the 80's had a new sound. Also, the lyrics to this song are relatable -- when you are in love, you feel weightless. On the moon, each step is bigger but in slow motion, which is reflected in the beat and space between of the chords. I just love it!

The drummer, Stewart Copeland, might be one of the best drummer ever. Saw them live and it was one of the best show i ever saw, Andy Summer, the guitarist, is much more expressive live, he's awesome too while Sting is playing a fretless bass while singing which is super hard. Reggae and punk are their main inspiration which is weird because none of them were playing reggae before the band formed. This is my favorite band, not sure why. Never get tired to listen to them.

Hearing this again and seeing this 1979 video/song made me remember how they fit right in with the big ska revival of that year. You'd hear this song played with songs by the Beat, the Specials, Madness, the Selecter, etc. Y'all would really like the Beat especially, I think.

They are heavily influenced by reggae. The Police come out of the nexus of UK punk, ska and reggae.

So they added a level of craftsmanship, finesse, and creativity that carried them past the genres.

Reggae had become popular in Britain by the late 1970s, so its influence can be heard in the music of a number of British rock groups, such as the Police and 10 cc ("Dreadlock Holiday"). In the US, rock radio did their best to lock out Reggae (New Wave also), so there were only a few adherents who had to seek it out, and its influence on pop music in the US was almost nonexistent. We only heard Reggae beats from British bands that got popular here (like the Police) who incorporated elements in their music.

Back in the day I heard a story on American Top 40 that this was the first Police song that Sting heard a random person singing without it being played on the radio at the time. According to the story, it brought tears of happiness to his eyes. Not sure if it's true, but pretty cool if it was. The first few Police albums were reggae influenced. "Voices inside my head" is a good follow up for this one.

This song is a "less is more" masterpiece. There is almost no music being played, but it is so complete and the reggae feel is very definite despite the minimalist performance. The Police were a revelation when they started, and grew from fun & quirky to very complex and mysterious (like King of Pain and Wrapped Around Your Finger) in just a few years. Sting's solo career went more to jazz, but ever more complex and creative. Listen to Jeremiah Blues Part 1, a deep album cut from The Soul Cages.

Anyone else notice popping and crackling when watching Rob Squad videos? It's somewhat subtle, but it's there. This is the only channel I've noticed it, so I suspect it's on their side, but I don't know.

One of the most classic Police songs! To this day, I will never forget the first time I played this record on my home turn table. I had just purchased a $100 stylus -- the needle that plays in the record grooves -- and put it on the tone-arm. The first song I put on to test-drive this hi-fidelity piece of equipment was "Walking On the Moon". When the song starts and Andy Summer's shimmering guitar chords ring out...I was like, "OMG, that sounds awesome!" I heard, immediately, where all that money had gone. I had never heard a record play so pristinely! This was about 1984, I think. Ah, so long ago, but I still remember what it sounded like. Great music by one of the best bands of all-time.

When I was 4 back in 85, I loved this song. One night when I was tucked in bed there were some drunk guys walking down the street singing this at the top of their lungs. I especially remember them singing the part at 6:25 and it sounded so eery. Scared my little heart out. Never forgot it

Please you need to hear The Beds too Big Without You -- another great Reggae --- Also for a different side there is Bring on the Night --- If you ever listen to the Spyro the Dragon music soundtrack you will be blown away by the unmistakable compositions by Stuart Copeland on his drums -- Its so fun and it really adds to the game--- and its loaded with his original tunes

The Bed's Too Big Without You was on repeat after a particularly painful breakup in the late 80's. Jeesh. I'm surprised my roomie didn't smash my boombox.

Bring On The Night should've been released as a single. A favorite amongst Police fans.

This is my No.1 song. I grew up in the early 80s and my parents loved The Police, David Bowie, Alan Parsons Project, etc. a wonderful song that just reminds me of South Africa where I was born and raised.

Such a vibe! Yeah Rob! In the pre-chorus, Sting builds the bottom, Andy Summers hits those spacial chords in contrast to Sting. Really nice! Well, and it's a power trio. Stewart Copeland fills in the blanks. Notice how Sting is singing high, but filling the bottom with the bassline. Just Beautiful!

In a three-piece, there’s nowhere for anyone to hide. Each member has to BRING IT, and be nothing less than a virtuoso on their instrument.

Absolutely. I probably annoyed my college roomie playing that, but the lyrics and music both were just so touching, I often "had" to hear it.
