The Police are my favourite band, I grew up listening to them, Don't Stand So Close to Me, is my favourite track ever, its a classic, 4 weeks at #1 and I love that album, I must get their albums on CDs, as I've only got the vinyl versions and I don't have a record deck no more.

I have their Regetta Da Blanca album which is one of their best imo
