just knowing about crazy train and homosapien means i must vote other, but i'm sure these scores more.

btw, "Spread a little happiness" doesn't count as he hadn't left the Police then.

Also, was in severe danger of voting that one, but for Morrissey.

That one being "Freefree set them free"

Briefly, we all thought "oh, solo Sting might not be so bad after all"

well by that logic you'd also have to discount Phil Collins, David Byrne, Daryl Hall, Mick Jagger etc

Phil Collins over Ice Cube, because "In The Air Tonight" was his career high point.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 00:01 (nine years ago) link

see now that's a top ten

lol who voted for Sting?

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 00:06 (nine years ago) link

xposts well, I guess that would a slightly different poll, the "band split up, here's the songs I would rather do"

Any case up, that "Spread" sting song was a one-off whereas the ones on NickB's list were all 'as they wanted to be'

Mark G, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 10:47 (nine years ago) link

Only one other vote for David Byrne? Sad.

bodacious ignoramus, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 12:02 (nine years ago) link

That was me.

You're obviously an astute and refined observer of the audio arts -- any insight on how Lou Gramm's plodding effort got so many votes?

bodacious ignoramus, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 12:19 (nine years ago) link

no "Red Guitar" by David Sylvian.. that's the one for me.

More people though it was the best song.

...that's very helpful...

bodacious ignoramus, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 17:40 (nine years ago) link

you're a plodding effort

SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link

bodacious ignoramus, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 01:18 (nine years ago) link
