    Honestly, the Police are one of those bands (for me) for which their most famous songs are pretty much their best songs. I had a compilation for many years and was familiar with all the singles. When I finally listened to the albums all the way through, I struggled to find any songs I thought were as good as their big hits. There are a couple of good deeper cuts, but for me their best stuff just looks like a Greatest Hits collection (and I'm usually a deep cuts kind of girl...):

    My Favorites:
    Roxanne
    Walking on the Moon
    Don't Stand So Close to Me
    Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
    Invisible Sun
    Synchronicity I
    Synchronicity II
    King of Pain
    Wrapped Around Your Finger
    Tea in the Sahara

    Tom Petty is another artist I feel this way about. His singles and famous songs are the best stuff in his catalog.

    One of my favorite bands. Let's see what I can whip up right now:

    1. O My God

    The rest aren't in any particular order:

    Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
    Hole in My Life
    Driven to Tears
    Darkness
    Murder By Numbers
    Bring on the Night
    Secret Journey
    I Burn for You
    Demolition Man

    An immensely honorable mention goes to History Will Teach Us Nothing from Sting's second solo LP. I tend to think of it as Driven to Tears mark II, and FWIW, I honestly like it better than any Police song :hide:
