The Police - Rock Classics #25 (Deutsch / English)
.jpg)
Silver Jubilee for Rock Classics
Hey Rockers of Steemit - I have not posted to my Rock Classics series for almost two weeks. Shame on me - why is that?
- Real Life Job
- Other great new projects
- Dance Music community deserved a bit time too
- My Girls at home
- Did not want to bother you with too much Rock
Today we celebrate edition 25 - silver jubilee - with a band from the UK I met first in the early 1980ies - not sure the young ones here know them - you might at least have heard about Sting who used to be lead singer and started an impressive solo career after the band split. Hence you will also listen to a bit from his solo paths.
Who is The Police?
The Police was formed in London 1977 and are considered as new wave band - to me that is simply awesome rock influenced by other styles. Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland were the key members until they split in 1986 - reunited in 2007 during the Grammy Awards but stopped officially in 2008. The most successful period was during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The band had major influence on the music industry playing rock in new wave style combining elements from various genres such as Jazz, Punk, Reggae and Ska.
The front personality Sting became one of the world's best-selling music artists based on the success of the band and is ranked amongst the top 100 best living songwriters. During his solo career he worked a lot with other known music acts such as Bryan Adams, Rod Steward, Dire Straits or Craig David.
Please enjoy these tracks of the band and Sting throughout this post:
The Police:
- Message in a Bottle
- Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
- Every Breath You Take
- De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Sting projects:
- All For Love (with Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart)
- Englishman In New York
- Shape of My Heart
Silbernes Jubiläum der Rock Classics
So nach ein bisserl Pause - ich wollte Euch nicht mit zu viel alten Sachen aus der Rock Classics Ecke nerven - kommt nun Ausgabe 25 mit The Police - wie viele meiner Top Rock Acts durfte ich die Band in den früher 80iger Jahren entdecken - da wr hier viele ganz junge Menschen auf Steemit haben wird nicht jeder die Band kennen, maximal noch Sting, den Lead Sänger. Schaut Euch mal durch ob die Musik was für Euch ist und schreibt mir gerne Kommentare dazu - @rivalzzz - von Dir erwarte ich natürlich etwas Spezielles dazu 🎸!
Wer sind die Polizisten nur?
The Police wurde 1977 in England gegründet und galten als New-Wave-Band - für mich ist das Rock mit eingängigen Melodien und nem fantastischen Bass (das war auch Sting an dem Instrument) und haben die Musikszene bis Mitte der 1980er entscheidend beeinflusst. Neben New Wave, Rock und Punk verarbeitete die Truppe Elemente aus Reggae, Punk, Ska und später auch Jazz - insbesondere Sting später als Solo Künstler noch weit mehr. 1986 war die Luft raus und die Bandmitglieder konzentrierten sich auf Solo Projekte. Im Jahr 2007 gab es ne Re-Union anlässlich der Grammy Awards mit einigen Konzerten danach, allerdings keinen neuen Aufnahmen, 2008 war dann endgültig Schluss.
Oben und unten könnt Ihr meine persönlichen Favoriten der Band sowie von Sting schauen und anhören

Aber einen Police Klassiker hast Du noch vergessen:
Roxanne
yes! this is my absolute fave!!
hab einige ausgelassen, damit Ihr was kommentieren könnt :-) - Danke @stehaller
I like this song is a classic.... Trae a mi memoria momentos en la universidad cuando reunidos tomábamos cerveza escuchando Police - Sting
such great music!
What are you talking about?... "Did not want to bother you with too much Rock"?? When is too much rock ever even enough! Drown me in rock n roll!
I love all the songs you posted above, they are such classics!
thank you for this great post!
I am extremely happy that you are happy - Rock On @princessmewmew - have you seen them live?
Hey @uwelang
Brilliant stuff. Thanks for posting.
It's great to see somebody talking about a band that I loved all those years ago. They were pretty special and IMO produced varied music for most peoples taste. I always enjoyed the creative tension between Stuart and Sting. The could be hilariously childish.
A couple of other tracks to mention are:
Roxanne, So Lonely, Can't Stand Losing You, Walking on the Moon and my favourite track, Don't Stand So Close To Me, with it's brilliant intro.
You are correct that Sting has gone on to sell millions of records and have huge success on his own. Englishman In New York and Fields of Gold are my choices but there are quite a few.
Thanks for making me think about them again.
Cheers, Gaz.
Ich feiere The Police und Sting voll ab🤘Das sind halt wirklich geile Klassiker
Yes man, für mich ist Every Little Thing She does is magic das Brett aller Zeiten :-).
Für mich ist es von The Police - Roxanne und von Sting - Englishman in New York
Früher mochte ich die nicht hören, da griff ich dann lieber zu Clash, wenn es softer sein sollte. Aber heute gefallen mir Police im nachhinein doch ganz gut.
I love Sting and I also love the way him and his wife enjoys a simple life! he can sing me to sleep anyday.
I love the Police and the solo work of Sting also. It's probably me is (for me) one of his best songs... It gives a great atmosphere...And his voice and way of singing is just great....
sehr geile Band. wie neulich schon bei deinem DanceWeekend erwähnt, eine Band die ich damals nie gehört hätte und heute geil finde!! 😁
Oh wow, yes -- The Police and Sting had some wonderful hits, didnt they? Can't forget this later year one "Fields of Gold" @uwelang
Sting hat mir auch als Schauspieler in "Der Wüstenplanet" gut gefallen. ;-)
