I caught the last 15 minutes or so
Kraftwerk doing autobahn on tomorrows world was good
Human league was half good half look at this freak wtf
The specials joke band
Madness- not even a joke band just unacceptable
The police- stings 'reggae' vocals are a bit odd but cool my new favourite band
Elvis costello. Ropey this weirdo can't sing

heavy heavy monster sound
A friend wrote this book on The Police :

Amazon product ASIN 0470282401
which is really funny because he detests them, detests them and spent years writing it. It's one of the funniest biogs I've ever read for that reason, it's just pure bile aimed at his subject.

What we need to know is
To what extent is your hatred of the police merely generational

Are they objectively shit or do you need to have historical and political context to really hate them properly?

The last time I encountered Sting it was when I was flicking around TV at a mates gaf on a Saturday night and he was doing some nautically themed musical concert with Jimmy Nail.

Yes, they are a bit odd aren't they? For years I always wondered "why the hell does he sing like that?" and then it clicked and I thought "Oh, I get it, it's much much worse than I ever realised".

But we all 'know' sting is a cunt. I wanted to avoid that and address whether or not the police are underappreciated as a result
