That time of the year again - my thread starts the brain cells
at a trot and then propels them to a near fatal sprint ...
I
posted a mail about 2 years ago, asking each of you to compile what you
would consider THE ultimate album, compiled with nothing but Sting's
finest - but with a twist .. the response was outstanding, and with the
release of All This Time and Sacred Love, its time to jump start the brain
cells again.
So
on we go.
Criteria are simple - ( Note, you MUST adhere
to the below - it makes it more difficult but it shows a real fan just how
much they actually like a song when given a choice)
1.
You must only pick 10 tracks + 2 bonus (free
choice)
2.
Tracks can only be picked from Sting's solo albums (listed
below)
3.
No Police tracks are allowed (exception, you can choose a track
from All This Time)
4.
This is the way the tracks MUST be chosen,
Track 1, must be chosen from all tracks listed at No.1
from the following Sting solo albums,
(Dream Of the Blue Turtles, Bring On The Night, Nothing Like The
Sun, The Soul Cages, Ten Summoner's Tales, Mercury Falling, Brand New Day,
All This Time, Sacred Love)
Track 2, must be chosen from all tracks listed at
No.2
Track 3, must be chosen from all tracks listed at No.3
....
Track 4, etc,etc
eg: Track 1 to be chosen
from the following -
If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (Dream Of The Blue
Turtles)
Bring
On The Night/When The World Is Running Down (Bring On The
Night)
The
Lazarus Heart (Nothing Like The Sun)
Island
Of Souls (The Soul Cages)
If
I Ever Lose My Faith In You (Ten Summoners Tales)
The
Hounds Of Winter (Mercury Falling)
A
Thousand Years (Brand New Day)
Fragile
(All This Time)
Inside (Sacred Love)
5. Bring On The Night is classed as 1 full album, Tracks 1 to 14
6. Enjoy!
7.
STICK TO THE CRITERIA - or I will not accept the album, and
send reply's to me first for verification (ha!)
8.
If you feel up to it - create an album title.
(... and for those of you who might have forgotten the track listing
on the albums (shame on you) I have listed all of them below - how nice am
I?)
