We shall see, my son.
We've not even started a proper debate yet.

At least Sting's forays into jazz can't be labelled pseudish - unlike Weller's most embarrassing periods - Stinko did afterall earn his spurs in various jazz bands in Newcastle - both trad and modern.

You're embarassing yourself if you think The Police had any affinity, let alone any credibility, with either punk or jazz. You seem to like to talk a lot about fans of The Jam back then and stereotype them into one unthinking mass. Well if you're going down that route, here's one for you: I think you had bland, MOR taste which is why you were attracted to the watered down rock of The Police, you're vaguely embarassed about it now and still resentful you didn't have the cool taste of the other kids at your school.

Well we can agree The Police were meaningless then. I'm glad we've reached a consensus after 17 pages!
