Back in 2006 we weren't that tidy, haha. I loved (and love) these two bands and both of their frontmans solo, so I thought opening a single thread for all of them at once was like the definitive idea. Originally posted by Welsh_Edge:Low Life is a great Police b-side. I don't like Sting's version on Bring On The Night. The studio version is far better.
Walking On The Moon, Tea In The Sahara, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, Invisible Sun, Born In The '50's, Be My Girl - Sally (it's pretty funny), Walking In Your Footsteps are all great songs imo.
Sting wise, I like Lazarus Heart, Russians, Be Still My Beating Heart, Brand New Day, Seven Days, If I Ever Lose My Faith In You, The Empty Chair, Fields of Gold, Shape Of My Heart.
Sting live in Tokyo 1988 is great. Lazarus Heart + Too Much Information <3
I don't care about Dire Straits.

I love waking up, I love the feeling of a new day ahead of me, starting fresh with a thousand opportunities to do better, love better, live better. I'm not one of those who end up hating their wake-up alarm song. I've used many of my favorite songs to wake up for years and it's only a way to start my day with a smile. Waking up to a generic Android tune would be much more boring, sad and lame.
Just for the record, I have 6 different alarms for my different day to day scheduled things. Red Flag Day has just replaced Sting's Low Life.

A quick list of my fav Police & Sting songs:
Synchronicity II
Don't Stand So Close To Me
Bring on the Night (if possible, paired with When the World Is Running Down as in Sting's first live album)
Message in a Bottle
Roxanne
Wrapped Around Your Finger
Don't Stand So Close To Me
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
King Of Pain
Walking On The Moon
The whole of The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, specially Fortress Around Your Heart, Children's Crusade, Moon Over Bourbon St. and We Work the Black Seam.
Desert Rose
Englishman in New York
Shape Of My Heart
Fields of Gold
Seven Days
They Dance Alone
Fragile
It's Probably Me (the single version with Eric Clapton and the zippo sample, not the Summoner's Tale version)
I Can't Stop Thinking About You
I Hung My Head
The Empty Chair
Why Should I Cry For You?
My Dire Straits favs:
Sultans Of Swing (NOT the single version without the epic solo. If possible, live from their 1985 tour)
Tunnel Of Love (live from Alchemy album)
Romeo And Juliet
Skateaway
Telegraph Road
Private Investigations (live)
Your Latest Trick
Ride Across The River
The Man's Too Strong
Once Upon A Time In The West (live from Alchemy album)
Single Handed Sailor
Where Do You Think You're Going? (the alternate take is even better than the album version imo)
On Every Street
You And Your Friend
Brothers In Arms
The whole of Alchemy, which still ranks as my #1 live album ever, better than U2's UABRS, Zeppelin's How The West Was Won, The Who's Live At Leeds, Queen At Wembley, etc etc. Alchemy is just perfect.
"Luckily" for you, both bands had a rather short career and their discographies aren't as long and deep as U2's, so you can get to know most/all of their songs in a rather short period of time and choose your own favs
