This set includes some of the best pop/rock songs: "Roxanne", "Can't Stand Losing You", "King of Pain" and "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". The Police recently played New York City during their Reunion Tour (Interestingly, In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, New York Senator Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America - hillaryclintonforum, The Denver Group)

the best compilation of a band that has passed the test of time with their classics. The police are one of the greatest bands to come out

The Police were one of the key bands of the late '70s and early '80s. Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland made some of the best music of the time, and almost all of their songs and records have acheived great success over the years.
'Every Breath You Take - The Classics,' is an interesting compilation. It gathers 12 songs, plus a remix and a remake, making this an interesting listen. And, for the casual fan, it's got the bare bone hits. 'Every Breath You Take,' 'Roxanne,' 'Don't Stand So Close To Me,' 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' and my personal favorite 'Walking On The Moon.'
For the casual fan, this is perfect.
But, there are several very obvious and quite annoying omissions. 'So Lonely' ... Read More:

Sting's solo career has certainly hurt the Police's reputation, which is too bad. They were a good band. All of their albums are pretty good. But they were definitely a singles band first, and this is why I consider this THE Police album to get. I mean, look at the track list! It's got "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic", "Roxanne", "Every Breath You Take", "King of Pain", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", "Can't Stand Losing You", "Walking on the Moon", "Don't Stand So Close to Me", "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da", and "Spirits in the Material World". DUDE! Those are some great punk-reggae-pop-adult contemporary singles! It's also got "Invisible Sun", but I find that one kinda boring. Swap in... I dunno, "Synchronity II" or something. There are also ... Read More:

I wasn't even alive when The Police were topping the charts, but their appeal is still strong after all these years. All in all, it was an excellent compilation of their classic songs. Here's what I thought of them, one by one...
1. ROXANNE
This one's hard to describe. The best way I can put it is that The Police fused modern subject matter with more traditional soft-rock music (esp. in the chorus) and the result was a timeless hit. *****
2. CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU
A sincere, easygoing song that's kind of similar to Roxanne, but a little more diverse. Two songs in, and I'm already enjoying this more than most of Sting's solo work. I can see why The Police ... Read More:
