The Police were only the biggest band in the world during the early 80s… I agree with Mr. Nett. The Police were the shit.

From a Reader at http://2log.biz/?blog_id=1761.

OH EM GEE.
I so TOTALLY agree with the overrated bands list — most especially The Police! Isn’t it soOoOoOo funny that the British took over Jamaica, stole their music, morphed it and made it sound craptastic and named it “The Police?!” What a rip-off! How many times can a man whose “name” is a present-tense verb say “ee-oh-oh-oh” in thirty seconds? I’m going to go with at least twelve times.

I am now going to share with you a haiku I wrote about this awful excuse for a band. I wrote it one day a little over 6 years ago over bubble tea and peanut butter toast.

i hate the police.
like, not the nypd-
like, the 80s band.

Take it, Sting. PS Your name is Gordon. We all know it.

You kids and your damn wrongness. You can hate on Aerosmith all you want, but the Police were, are, and will forever remain the shit. Goddamn “King of Pain?” “Synchronicity 2?” “Invisible Sun?” Fuck you and your High School Musical and your Mylie Cyrus.

And don’t tell me any bullshit about you not listening to Mylie. I know for certain Dres, at least, does.

ok. I’ll give you The Police. Their music hasn’t “aged” well. A few songs on the first LP still rock, but that had more to do with Copeland’s influence at the the time. The more Sting became the star the worse they got. As far as Aerosmith goes, I agree up to a point (i can hear you biting your nails in anticipation). 90% of their output is compromised and watered down (to go down smoothly – like Miller Lite). BUT, they do have one fucking amazing LP called “Rocks” (yes, I’m aware that it’s a silly and pompous LP title). Back in 1976, before the drugs fully kicked in, they rocked pretty hard. In fact, I would put “Rocks” up there in the same league as “Physical Graffiti”.
If I had to compare “Rocks” to a beer, it would be Stone Brewing’s Arogant Bastard Ale. Fuck, even Robert Christgau: the dean of American rock critics liked the LP and gave it an A -.

I didn’t read this article but correlating Aerosmith with The Police is incorrect. You can even hate The Police and it is still incorrect.

Pink is my favorite color.

I think that it’s safe to say that without the Police, you wouldn’t have all the good ol’ fashioned hatred we now love and expect from rappers.

I think if Sting wasn’t around, we probably wouldn’t have ever heard “Fuck tha Police” by N.W.A. Then where would we be? Fucking the Firemen? Firemen are inherently sexy. They have enough people fucking them already. We need the Police… to fuck.
