I have no idea how many times I have listened to this CD, but I'm surprised that it still plays. Sometimes it and my other Sting CDs are in my player for months on end and I never get tired of hearing the songs.
This man can write lyrics and music like a dream. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert (with Annie Lennox, no less) in Tampa 2 years ago and it was the best concert I have ever experienced. In spite of a majority of the crowd being up past their bedtimes, we still rocked....who says 55+ can't cut the mustard anymore?
I really have no favorite tune on this CD...I love them all!
I bought the police collection that was recently released for the radio popular songs and I really grew to like some of the others that I hadn't heard before. Because Sting is the frontman of the group, I thought I should check out his other work. So,I bought "ten . . ." based on the radio popular songs.I like the album fairly well, I like singer/songwriter music in general.Some of the songs may be described as preachy/socially conscious music, others are very typical for that time period and for sting.
Nothing even STING has done comes close to the beauty of this album. It is a "greatest hits" CD without touting as much. If you even remotely like Sting, this (and Soul Cages) could just make you a LOVER of Sting. This CD will become a favorite....I promise!
Sting singing about undying love in Fields of Gold is perfect, and it was redone perfectly by the late Eva Cassidy...the perfect song to re-do, but only if you dare! Sting is even my 17 year old DAUGHTER'S favorite...she has posters of him on her walls. Classic!
