stewart copeland is without a doubt one of the most classy drummers ever. sting is a great vocalist. and since reggae is obviously one of the best genres ever, its worth noting that few rock bands have adapted reggae as tastefully as the police (dont try suggest that the clash have done it well.... no way). i heard the studio version of the eagles' "hotel california" the other day and it occurred to me, some bands like the eagles must sit around the studio and say "hmmm, lets just add these cliche upstrokes and people will think we're like bob marley and the wailers!!" but not the police... they know their stuff and have created great adaptations of reggae music. and their not-so-reggae stuff can be cool also.
"walking on the moon".... amazing song!!!
