Sting. I guess. A couple of his songs are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

Really tough, I guess musically, I would go with U2, also based on their Joshua Tree album but I just can't stand Bono, so I can't bring myself to vote for them.

And the others are just garbage.

I suppose that means they are "running to stand still"

I'm surprised Sting isn't getting more respect. I wouldn't put his solo works in the spectacular category, but they've been solidly decent. I recently added Face Value, but that is as far as I'm going to go with solo Collins.

And now for a really bad U2 joke I made up: Why have they still not found what they're looking for? Because the streets have no names. Tongue

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

LOL.

Would be better to say "Beware with the new bifocals" Wink

Honestly, getting used to bifocals is terrible.

U2 started out as a great post-punk band, their new stuff is just coldplay derivative, but 'The Joshua Tree' has had a huge influence of me.

Insane Clown Posse, I don't see anything too horrible about either..

As nuts as he is these days, I go with Phil, not becuase i listen to his music that much anymore, but because I'd never listen to any of the others Confused

You must be joking.....Take a running jump......

Hey Walter you're missing two years! Damn now you're becoming too fascist... Tongue

In this case I think Walter is being over generous - it was all over by '84 for me.

I think their best work was the first 3 albums-Boy, October and War. The next 2 albums-Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree are okay, but they were already getting away from the raw, guitar-driven post-punk that made them so great. Unfortunately, once they started working with Eno and Lanois (who are both talented) their sound softened and started heading down the commercial highway and into a sell-out car wreck.
