No option for "Next To You?"

alright.

'best police opener'

Between the two, "Message." But in an open field, "Demolition Man."

"Message" easily. See also TS: "Message In A Bottle" vs. "Don't Fear The Reaper". "Don't Stand So Close To Me" is plodding, pretentious, and ultimately just far too tired to be an opener. Granted, opening with "De Doo Doo Doo" or whatever might have blown the record's wad too quick, so I dunno. "Message" is a better song and certainly a better opener.

With the field opened up - I haven't heard the last couple of Police records, but "Next To You" is bloody fantastic so that wins.

HERE COME THE MIB'S

I like "Don't Stand So Close To Me" better, but "Message In a Bottle" is faster and more energetic, and fits better as an opener.
