The Police or The Jam ?

[nickyboy]

Do you want to be like him?

I reckon you sing a certain Jam song when it's late at night and you're heading home to Zone 6

Going into my limousine?

I liked some of the earlier Police, but after Synchronicity, I didn't care much for them. The Jam seems better overall.

 

[Gravity Aided]

The real comparison is Jam or Madness.

Madness, for that one.

I just asked Alexa to play The Police in case I was missing something. It told me to fark right off and played The Jam instead.

The Jam . I loved the music, and it holds up better to me now than the Police.

This thread can split people into 3 groups.

1. Idiots who say The Police
2. Idiots who don’t know
3. Correct people who say The Jam

This responses can be split into three groups

1. Those who are victims of crime
2. Those who want something sweet in their scone
3. Those who are simply relieved there was never a collaboration between Sting and Weller

Big Country were the first band I ever saw live. 5th December 1986 at the Ingilston Arena, Edinburgh. 2 days after my 18th birthday

BC were probably the band that I saw most live during the 80s and 90s, and were definitely the best. While I loved them in smaller venues, the most notable was when they were warm-up for Bowie on the Glass Spider tour at Wembley stadium and blew him off the stage.

So I looked at my Spotify playlist no Jam, no Police, no Weller, no Sting.

So I looked on my NAS drive, no Jam, no Police, 4 Paul Weller albums, 7 Sting Albums, one being the Best of Sting and the Police.

So it looks like The Police will get my vote.

My first concert was The Jam at Bingley Hall Stafford, October 1982. Having seen various groups afterwards* I still prefer a straight-in-your-face concert with no
jazzy special effects. That's what I remember from that night; straight up in your face music with no frills.


* good god, I still don't know how I ended up seeing The Thomson Twins in Nottingham some years later, it was a show I'd rather forget -honestly I have no recollection how I was roped into going -I'd bet probably something to do with a girl, given my age.
