I've always liked things I've heard by The Police. However, glancing at the track listings for their various albums, I've never been able to decide which one(s) to buy. I don't usually by "best of" albums... they're not really albums. However, I finally gave in and bought a used copy of Every Breath You Take for $5 (USD).
This CD features an amazing array of songs, displaying more variation than I remember from The Police. Tracks include Roxanne, Message In A Bottle, Walking On The Moon, Don't Stand So Close To Me - and that's just 4 of the 1st 5 tracks. There isn't much more to say, except that the CD also contains the awful re-mix (or whatever) Don't Stand So Close To Me '86 and the bearable Message In A Bottle (New Classic Rock Mix) - these could have been omitted and would have felt more like I got value-for-money!
Overall, the songs on this CD are great. I'll have to look closer at the individual albums to get an even wider view of what The Police did...
