This is from a time when there seemed to be endless talent and no two acts sounded exactly the same. Artists took chances and absorbed influences from all over the place so you got a huge variety and there was an endless stream of classics that everyone knows even if they dont know the origins. It all felt like we were experiencing a time of musical evolution filled with pioneers. It wasn't always great but when it was...just pure joy. Sadly today everything sounds the same, singers use machines to sing for them, it's all so diluted and stagnant.

This was also in the day where you didn't need a expensive high concept video with a story line. With a group like the Police or Van Halen all you had to do was turn on the camera let them jump around and there's your video. And it was still fun and exciting. Even Michael Jackson's early videos for Don't Stop and Rock With You, all they did was turn on the camera and let him do his thing. All Prince videos up to Purple Rain were just him dancing and staring down the camera. That's all you need. I miss those days.

The label wanted the band to shoot a lip sync style video, but Mark Hollis refused and they ended up using stock film, shooting footage in a zoo and "erased" his mouth, he doesn't ever sing a word. One of the most well-known songs of the early 80's MTV era.

OMG! When Sting started to get naked and you said "What he doin?", I laughed so hard you made me slap my own damn leg! Your reactions make these videos even more entertaining. I love your channel.

Your comment about pure joy is 100% spot on. People I think don't know how to just loosen up and be themselves, it's hard to explain, but you get what I mean. Everyone's so worried about "not being cheesy" they can't just enjoy life, and it's sad. You wonder why so many young people are depressed these days. I never heard these levels of depression when I was their age.

Saw the synchronicity tour and love the police. What I love most is the lyrics of many of their songs. So obscure. So thought provoking.

The Police were incredible! All three of them were massively talented, original and had seriously diverse influences. Musicians today are into the business, image and marketing more than the art of songwriting and musicianship.

"Don't Stand So Close to Me" is on Zenyatta Mondatta which was released in 1980. "Hot for Teacher" is on 1984 released in... 1984. You FINALLY got to The Police. Keep going with them, they invented New Wave, real new wave not synth pop.

The Police most certainly did not "invent new wave." That term was popularized by Malcolm McLaren as a term for new, inventive music that wasn't punk, but it had been used back into the early '70s by rock journos.

They also released a remake of "Don't Stand So Close to me" in 1986 on the album "Every Breath You Take: The Singles". I actually prefer that version to the original. kzitem.info/news/bejne/xq6OqqaigmNza3Y
