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".

Subject: [Police] Sting article in Rolling Stone "500" Greatest Issue
A Sting article appears in this months Rolling Stone on Page 58 The Music Q&A where it has a series of questions that Sting answers in a full page article. Pretty standard stuff but a couple good quotes on stuff like playing with the grateful dead. here is a link
Also this RS has a list of the top 500 greatest albums of all time. Dont read on if you dont want to know the rankings of The Police albums. The Police have a good showing with 4 of their 5 proper albums in the top 500 - only Zenyatta not appearing. 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?
