I grew up as a pretty big fan of The Police (the band, not the fraternal order of nightsticks).

I grew into being a Sting fan once he went solo (and a fan of Andy and Stewart's solo works as well).

I'm really, truly a fan of who Sting has grown into, though.

This morning I'm listening to his album "The Last Ship" from a few years back, and it's full of gems.

Have one:

The whole album (which is also a musical now) has an amazing range of styles, sounds, and secrets waiting for a careful listener.

Highly recommended.

Eleventy-thousand dog stars out of seven.

@djsundog I'll dig in. I love The Police, but I usually come away disappointed from Sting solo. It really feels like the music was not meant for me.

@ajr as a concept album it verges on fantastic at moments, weaves some neat stories with musically interesting forms. I was honestly surprised the first time I listened to the album with the range it took me through as a listener.
