I'm a little partial to Ghost in the Machine because that's the tour I saw them on. But the first album is so awesome, and Zenyatta has "Canary in a Coalmine" and "When the World is Running Down."
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

My Police Heresy: I really don't much care for "Roxanne."
I didn't like the original iteration. It wasn't until the Dream of the Blue Turtles tour and I heard his stripped down, utterly elegant, beautifully jazzed version of it, that I truly fell in love.
And then the Moulin Rouge version sent me completely over the edge. It was, in fact, the inspiration for a key scene in the Carmen book. (In one of my rare < mememe> moments, that scene is easily one of the best things I think I've ever written.)
As far as album, I love all of them, but I'm a Ghost in the Machine girl, but Regatta has "Message in a Bottle".

I never thought Roxanne was a particularly good song, but the version in Moulin Rouge gave me literal goosebumps.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
the version in Moulin Rouge gave me literal goosebumps.
The full dance sequence to that song (not the edited one in the movie) is the reason I picked up the Deluxe version of MR. It's amazing.

Aw! I saw the Police when I was 14, so that was ... 1981? Wow.
We used to sing "Jooooo-anne" to a girl in my grade whenever "Roxanne" came on. I can't help hearing it in my head that way now, and picturing her rolling her eyes at us.

Yes, they toured the summer after my freshman year of high school. I remember because I got asked to go and I was too stupid back then to realize I should have gone even if I didn't really like the guy.

I remember very little about the show, sadly.
I got stoned in the parking lot with my friend and some random guy. Um.
