Brilliant. I'm going with Jamie and a man who looks like Ronald McDonald to see them on Sunday at Twickenham. I can't wait! Did they play Walking on the Moon and Synchronicity I? That'd be lovely.

WOTM yes, but no SI, they did do SII though. In fact apart from no Bring On The Night, Bed's Too Big..., Landlord or Visions Of The Night it was a perfect set list!

Great, but over-rated and highly consistent, band!

Yeah, I love The Police! Occasionally their stuff is annoyingly reggae and tuneless, but they have so many great tracks.

Is it just me or are they one of those bands who have AWESOME Best Of albums yet when you get their discography they're not all that great?

I think that's quite a valid point actually, I love all their 'hits', but I've listened to some of my parents' old Police vinyls, and a lot of the stuff is quite skippable.

Yes it was, FAIL.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

FUCK DA POLICE!

Um, I'm working at their show on sunday, so I'll probably go and watch them. Not that into them, but they might be good.

Aw man, that really was an epic fail.

GENESIS, IT'S GENESIS.

Come on, Sting and Phil Collins look roughly the same...
