The Police

I really liked The Police because not only were they a really skilled rock band but they had tons of variety. Unlike some other 70's and 80's bands of the time, The Police were really clean and were a really good bunch of players. It never really sounded sloppy and it was a loud sound for only three players. I also thought the drummer was really good, and seeing how he played in his videos (traditional style), was kind of crazy for how loud and powerful he is. He does some pretty crazy stuff where after you watch it, it leaves you bewildered. Like how did he do that? Then there's Sting, the lead singer. I just love love love his voice. It has a kind of smoothness mixed with the rock sound that I really like. Then the bass/guitar was always awesome. Another thing I really like about the Police is the different influences they have. Like in one song off of the album we listened to, there was some reggae influence that I thought was pretty cool for back then, like in the song "So Lonely". I also think they had some Beach Boys influence, for example, in the song"Masoko Tanga". Overall I really liked The Police, and thought they were a good band for their time.
