Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
by Raj Manoharan 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Is it a list of the 500 greatest ROCK albums of all time, or is it a list of the 500 greatest MUSIC albums of all time? If it's the latter, then taking into consideration all the classics and standards from the 20s to the 50s (i.e. Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, etc.), it's a very high honor indeed for any of the Police's albums, much less four of them, to even make it onto the list.

RE: [Police] Sting article in Rolling Stone "500" Greatest Issue
by Michelle Manoni 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Thanks for the link to the Rolling Stone article. It made me laugh! Glad to hear he doesn't take P. Diddy's recording too seriously -- and he says they "take your shit, put it on a record and deal with the legality later." He's probably right, P. Diddy's grandchildren will rerecord "Every Breath You Take".

The highest being Ghost at 322, Regatta 369, Outlandos 434, Synchronicity 455. These are all lower than top 500 lists done like 10 years ago. I also noted that no Sting album made it in the top 500. But I am glad to see The Police work still to be recognized and lasting - though highest at 322 seems a bit low to me but that what these lists are good at doing - sparking debate. Is anyone on this list surprised Ghost was the top ranked Police album by Rolling Stone magazine?

RE: [Police] Broken Record
by Michelle Manoni 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

I just finished reading the book over the holiday, and personally, I found it to be engaging, extremely well written, and interesting. After following Sting and his career all these years, reading the same promo articles and answers to all the same questions, I thought that reading about his early life and family relationships filled in many of the gaps about his personality and person. It was also refreshing to know I was reading it firsthand. I always get tired of sorting through articles and trying to decipher whether it is the author's or Sting's opinion. Sting has proved to be a great writer! It you are at all interested in learning more about him it is a great and worthwhile read. Michelle in Michigan ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Berthelot To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: 11/25/2003 5:11:55 PM Subject: [Police] Broken Record I don't mean to sound like a broken record but does anyone else have any input on Broken Music? Has anyone else finished it? It's unfortunate how The Police years go by so quickly in the last chapter, but it's great to read about Henry's involvement in the band. Those were some "really moments!"

Re: [Police] Rolling Stone, TV spots and Gabriel's Message
by Angeline Adams 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Hi guys, Rolling Stone magazine has a feature on the 500 albums they consider to be the greatest. As with their Greatest Guitarists list, it's sure to be contentious, but for what it's worth, "Ghost In The Machine" appears at # 322, "Reggatta de Blanc" at # 369, and "Outlandos D'Amour" at # 434. "Synchronicity" is at # 455. On the one hand, it annoys me that there are greatest hits collections which placed higher (a board I post on is debating whether these should be included at all), but on the other, I'm just happy the band are on the list at all. Like someone here said recently, they often don't seem to get recognised like this... http://www.rollingstone.com/features/coverstory/featuregen.asp?pid=2164 Believe it or not, I finally saw a TV spot for "Sacred Love". Surprisingly it wasn't even put out by the record company as direct promotion; it was on an HMV ad recommending it as a Christmas buy. Is it just me, or did "Brand New Day" get TV advertising apart from the "Desert Rose"/Jaguar advert? Finally, on the official site, Sting asked which of his videos people liked best, and someone mentioned one for Gabriel's Message. Has anyone seen this? I love the song... Angeline P.S. Strange problem: when I try to mail stuff to the list address myself, without replying to an existing list mail, it gets bounced back. Anybody else have this happen? _________________________________________________________________ Find a cheaper internet access deal - choose one to suit you. http://www.msn.co.uk/internetaccess

Help everyone!! My computer crushed down last week and I lost all my Sting / Police videos. I had to send the video of Message in a bottle from the Rock and roll hall of fame performance to a trader, but lost it! I thought I could download it from VH1 with the old links of ASFRecorder, but it doesn't seem to work anymore... Can someone help me out there? Plz, this is an emergency, I'm so late in this trade! Thx everyone, Matt <A HREF="www.fromOutlandosto.com">www.fromOutlandosto.com</A>

I always thought the six inch band referred not to coal... but to the gaffer tape used to repair the leaks in the nuclear power stations.. thus preventing the 'poisoned streams' I don't know where I read this,, but I thought it was in the sleeve notes to the Bring On The Night live album... of course I maybe wrong.. it was a long time ago! > >> Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 20:33:36 -0500 > From: "Bob McKenzie" <hoser_3317(a)hotmail.com> > Subject: [Police] Police] On the subject of lyrics > and their meaning > ..... > To: > > Here is one I have always meant to ask about and now > seems like a good time. > In We Work the Black Seam he says > "...............you can't exchange a six > inch band for all the poisoned streams in > Cumberland."
