um,

none of these guys are dicks.

the whole "Sting's a dick!" vs. "Stewart's a dick!" schtick is a bit tired.

just groove on the music.

it's great stuff.

a great band full on non-dicks.

Are you kidding? I mean, I'll totally agree on the brilliance of Costello, but do you truly understand the impact and importance of this "two bit three piece pop band"? Copeland is on a very short list of the most technically gifted drummers in the world, and their collective prolific output should be a legacy to itself.

A Spanish band called Soda Stereo has a wonderful song called El Septimo Dia. Here they are getting a stadium of Chileans to their feet making them dance in 7/4. youtube.com/watch?v=TWLQ7VgFAX­w

Mother and Miss Gradenko? LoL

P.s.Copeland rules xD

[Dwina Sharita Adinda]

damnnn...i love that song "Mother" too. That's seriously shocking me when the first time i heard it and it was Andy's voice. That song is sooo funny and ironic at the same time. And it was written by Andy. I also love Miss Gradenko's Stewart's. Just love the Police so much it hurts..hehe; p

That is awesome. Mother is one of the best tracks on that album. How many other pop bands are playing in 7/4?

[cosmicrider287]

sting made such a smart choice here.

[wachibonkgroup21]

that made my day. When sting said "mother" and "miss gradenko" as his fave police songs. hehehee..Mother is totally insane song. I dunno wat happen to andy when he wrote the song but he's really madd. And Miss Gradenko, was Stewart inspired by CIA espionage kinda thing? hehe...

[Evan Haynes]

sting gets way too much credit. copeland and summers are the backbone to this band.

[wolf359x]

"Gradenko" is a cool song, but I would have voted for "Bombs Away" as Stew's best. "Mother" is just insane.

[spershall]

I want to have seven million of Stewart Copeland's babies.

I like both the Police and Elvis Costello. I happen to prefer the Police, but I can respect someone who likes Elvis Costello better. But to say the margin between them is measured in CHARGED PARTICLES--wow, that, I must confess, is really saying something.
