Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

I used to like his albums because even the songs that weren't hits were pretty good.
Children's Crusade
We Work the Black Seam

Consider Me Gone
Also, I love We Work The Black Seam - almost nobody I know does.
Dream of the Blue Turtles is one of my favorite albums.
Moon Over Bourbon Street<- not sure if that one ever made the charts.
Seriously, that album doesn't have one bad song - I even even dug 7th Wave.

The only thing the Police every produced that was worth anything was Copeland.
Sting is a pretentious twat. Even his name is lame beyond words.

I would argue that Copeland made the Police more than the Police made Copeland.
I will agree that Sting is a pretentious twat too, but I enjoy a lot of his solo work almost as much as I enjoy the Police.

That's just so much semantic twaddle. You take "produced" way too literally.

Are you kidding? 
You mean other than arranging and composing for many movies and winning a Golden Globe?
"In 1982 Copeland was involved in the production of a WOMAD benefit album called Music and Rhythm. In 1983, Copeland composed a musical score to earn a Golden Globe nomination for his scoring of Rumble Fish. The film directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola from the S.E. Hinton novel also had a song released to radio on A & M Records "Don't Box Me In" (UK Singles Chart n. 91) — a collaboration between Copeland and singer/songwriter Stan Ridgway, leader of the band Wall of Voodoo, that received significant airplay upon release of the film that year. After The Police stopped touring in 1984, Copeland established a career composing soundtracks for movies Airborne, Talk Radio, Wall Street, Riff Raff, Raining Stones, Surviving the Game, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Highlander II: The Quickening, The Leopard Son, She's Having a Baby, Taking Care of Business, West Beirut, I am David, Good Burger), television (The Equalizer, Dead Like Me, Star Wars: Droids, the pilot for Babylon 5 (1993), Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee), and video games (Spyro the Dragon and The Agents), along with operas (Holy Blood and Crescent Moon, commissioned by Cleveland Opera) and ballets."
Rolling Stone ranks him as the 5th greatest drummer of all time. He wrote most if not all of the Police's original material. He also composes and arranges modern symphonies, operas, Broadway musicals AND ballets, a body of work that has won him a lot of awards.
Copeland is like Elfman. He is a musician, composer, arranger and artist.
Sting is a wanna be compared to Copeland. Sting isn't worthy to carry Copeland's drumsticks. Copeland WAS the Police. Sting was just a singer with a stupid name.

Sting made some of my all time favorite music without Copeland. I can't think of a single Copeland song I like that he made without Sting.

That's because he wasn't writing mass market pop ditties for the great unwashed hordes. He was writing sophisticated pieces of music for TV, Movies and Broadway while completing several Operas and Ballets, many of which were commissioned at request.
Copeland MADE Sting. In fact I bet if you looked most of Sting's solo stuff was either written by Copeland or owes him a debt in every possible area of composition.
As usual you got things ass backwards sparky. What the hell would Sting be without Copeland?
Nothing, that's what.
