AOL Radio listeners voted for their favorite Police songs, and it comes as no surprise that the top ten list is loaded with the most commercially successful of all The Police’s work from their five studio albums. Four of the songs are from Synchronicity alone, including the number one and number ten picks. Two songs were chosen from each of the band’s first two albums, Outlandos d’Amour and Reggatta De Blanc, while only one song was chosen from both Zenyatta Mondatta and Ghost In The Machine.
Here is AOL Radio’s list rearranged by Police album:
Synchronicity:
#10 Synchronicity II
#7 King of Pain
#4 Wrapped Around Your Finger
#1 Every Breath You Take
Ghost In The Machine:
#2 Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Zenyatta Mondatta:
#3 Don’t Stand So Close To Me
Reggatta De Blanc:
#8 Walking on the Moon
#5 Message in a Bottle
Outlandos d’Amour:
#9 Can’t Stand Losing You
#6 Roxanne
I would delete a few songs from the list and add a few others to it based on my own personal preferences. I think Ghost In The Machine was a fabulous album and is underrepresented on this list, “Invisible Sun” and “Demolition Man” make the grade in my opinion. “Next To You” from Outlandos d’Amour and “Bring On The Night” from Reggatta De Blanc are worthy of inclusion too. What do you think? What songs would you include in your own Best Police Songs list?
