Yep, they are not prog but i concider them to be a Top 5 band. Anyone else on PA like Sting, Stewie and Andy?
 
After hard thinking, REALLY hard thinking, between ZM and GitM, i picked ZM. Great atomosphere and no weak songs. Bit sterile but it doesen't quite matter.

This poll was done before but I will play along.

I like all of The Police's output,and it's a tie between Zenyatta Mondatta and Ghost in the Machine.I would say ZM,I think the album is nearly perfect.

I only ever bought the first, so unfair to vote. I must catch up on the rest sometime.

I'll vote for their swan song - "Synchronicity". "King of Pain" is probably my favourite Police song, together with "Invisible Sun".

Though 'Ghost' has some clunkers, it just does it for me.

Tough call, but Synchronicity remains my favourite - the second half of the album (from Synchronicity II onwards) is pretty much perfect.
