To each his own OSM. I think the Police was about 10 times better than all of Gordie's solo projects put together. More energy. He has some really nice solo work, but it's few and far between for me. Again--to each his own.

Check out "The Soul Cages". One of the finest albums I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Especially the finale, "When The Angels Fall". One of the best songs ever written, it outdoes Every Breath You Take. Also on this album, there's "All This Time" - which sounds like it could have been a Police song, actually

I can't recommend that album enough.

Every Breath You Take was his zenith. And you say it is better. That's saying alot. Maybe I will check it out. I have not liked anything of his since his first solo effort.

You seem to like him very much, Mr OSM--is there a Sting or Police forum much like this one that you visit--or is this your only outlet for promoting Sting?

Well, this is the only forum I visit.

As for "promoting Sting", well, he's not the only artist that I have given critical acclaim to on this forum - look through my posts and you'll find me lavishing praise on a number of very varied artists, from 70s pop acts like ABBA & ELO - although both were capable of much more than just chart-friendly pop - to hard rock like Foreigner and Bryan Adams. And that's just a handful of the acts I would recommend.

Sorry in advance, 'cos this is picky, but if I went to a Sting/Police forum, I wouldn't exactly need to "promote him" there - if anything I'd be promoting Paul there and they'd ask me the same questions. But no, as I said already, this is the only forum I visit.

And I do say that Paul is the best songwriter ever. I may have said Sting is better than John, but never better than Paul

If you have over 1700 posts, I don't think I'll be alive long enough to visit all of them, to be quite honest--that would take me years to read! I enjoy peeking in from time to time. This forum seems fun, but is hard to follow at times, because the posts don't match the titles.

Yeah - Mike's been on at us all about that we try to use the NPC forum for non-Paul-related threads, but so many threads drift off-topic - typically, by the third page of any thread, it will have gone OT.

ting better than john? my god, boy

by **BandOnTheRun1** » Thu Aug 22, 2002 1:56 pm

I just noticed that too. Sting a better writer than John? That's pretty profound.
