hi carl

"Voices"... it's the only song in the band's entire output that doesn't annoy me.

"voices" owns... i'm suck between that and "when the world is coming down"

"Don't Stand So Close To Me" is one of the best things they ever did pre-"Synchronicity", and a very obvious vote from me here.

Driven to Tears

Grisly Addams (WmC), Friday, 28 May 2010 00:01 (sixteen years ago)

love the riff on that one

hobbes, Friday, 28 May 2010 00:01 (sixteen years ago)

how did this weird-ass band become the biggest band in the world?

huge soft spot for bombs away but not sure i can vote for it

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Friday, 28 May 2010 00:08 (sixteen years ago)

i love the thin trebly bouncy texture of "Canary In A Coalmine"

Christina NAGLera (some dude), Friday, 28 May 2010 00:12 (sixteen years ago)

This is their best album, and "Voices" is their best (and funkiest) song. So that.

Almost went for "Man in a Suitcase" but "Canary in a Coalmine" won the day today.

Sean Carruthers, Friday, 28 May 2010 00:49 (sixteen years ago)

canary in a coalmine

Oh, I guess the completely rearranged 1986 re-recording is included as a bonus track. :)

Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Friday, 28 May 2010 01:25 (sixteen years ago)

My favorite Police album. Voices is obvious... but Driven to Tears & When the World are Running Down really have a place too. Glad I have some time to decide.

canary in a coalmine

one month passes...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Thursday, 1 July 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

Voices. Any song with a "Cha" chant cannot be fucked with.

kornrulez6969, Friday, 2 July 2010 02:08 (fifteen years ago)

Summers solo in Driven to Tears is prob. his best

WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Friday, 2 July 2010 02:25 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah the drums are prolly why I also voted driven to tears

Here he is with the classic "Poème Électronique." Good track (Marcello Carlin), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 14:12 (thirteen years ago)

great article but it doesn't mention the thing that really captivates me about this album - the impeccable drumming in "Voices" and "Shadows"

frogbs, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 14:51 (thirteen years ago)

still given how much I respect this band it's always a little shocking to hear that, as you said, they were basically the Biebers of the 80s
