1	Ghost in the Machine (1981) more music like this by The Police For their fourth album, 1981's Ghost in the Machine, the Police had streamlined their sound to focus more on their pop side and less on their trademark reggae-rock. Their jazz influence had become more prominent, as evidenced by the appearance of saxophones on several tracks. The production has more of a contemporary '80s sound to it (courtesy of ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.66!
2	Ten Summoner's Tales (1993) more music like this by Sting After two albums of muted, mature jazz-inflected pop, the last being an explicit album about death, Sting created his first unapologetically pop album since the Police with Ten Summoner's Tales. The title, a rather awkward pun on his given last name, is significant, since it emphasizes that this album is a collection of songs, without any musical ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.00!
3	Synchronicity (1983) more music like this by The Police Although the Police's fifth release, 1983's Synchronicity, would be their most commercially successful and lead to a sold-out tour of enormodomes (including New York's Shea Stadium), it would turn out to be the trio's final album and tour. Like all Police recordings, Synchronicity contains some obvious "filler" (such as the silly dinosaur tale of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
4	Zenyatta Mondatta (1980) more music like this by The Police The stage was set for the Police to become one of the biggest acts of the '80s, and the band delivered with the 1980 classic Zenyatta Mondatta. The album proved to be the trio's second straight number one album in the U.K., while peaking at number three in the U.S. Arguably the best Police album, Zenyatta contains perhaps the quintessential new ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.66!
5	The Police (2007) more music like this by The Police To coincide with their 30th anniversary reunion tour in 2007 the Police released the anthology The Police, the first two-CD retrospective ever assembled on the group. They may not have had a double compilation to their credit, but they had single discs and box sets, which may raise the question of whether they need a set like this -- and the ... see all copies from $10.58! new only from $16.73!
6	Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994 (1994) more music like this by Sting Early in his solo career, Sting defined himself as a man of taste, choosing to work with jazz musicians instead of rockers. Inevitably, this meant he walked the thin line between sophisticated pop and adult contemporary, but he did it with grace from 1985's Dream of the Blue Turtles to 1993's Ten Summoner's Tales. Unfortunately, Fields of Gold: ... see all copies from $2.47! new only from $4.46!
7	The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985) more music like this by Sting The Police never really broke up, they just topped working together -- largely because they just couldn't stand playing together anymore and partially because Sting was itching to establish himself as a serious musician/songwriter on his own terms. Anxious to shed the mantle of pop star, he camped out at Eddy Grant's studio, picked up the guitar, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
8	Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings (1993) more music like this by The Police Despite their legendary status, the Police only released five albums during their brief reign from 1978-1983. In addition, the trio had amassed a healthy amount of both studio and live B-sides, plus songs that only appeared on soundtracks. For the 1993 four-CD box set Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings, every single song the Police ever ... see all copies from $43.37! new only from $43.37!
9	Brand New Day (1999) more music like this by Sting By the late '90s, Sting had reached a point where he didn't have to prove his worth every time out; he had so ingrained himself in pop culture, he really had the freedom to do whatever he wanted. He had that attitude on Mercury Falling, but it was too somber and serious, everything that its successor, Brand New Day, is not. Light, even ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.75!
10	The Soul Cages (1991) more music like this by Sting Emboldened by the enthusiastic response to the muted Nothing Like the Sun and reeling from the loss of his parents, Sting constructed The Soul Cages as a hushed mediation on mortality, loss, grief, and father/son relationships (the album is dedicated, in part, to his father; its predecessor was dedicated to his mother). Using the same basic band ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
11 view cover	Outlandos d'Amour (1978) more music like this by The Police While their subsequent chart-topping albums would contain far more ambitious songwriting and musicianship, the Police's 1978 debut, Outlandos d'Amour (translation: Outlaws of Love ) is by far their most direct and straightforward release. Although Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were all superb instrumentalists with jazz backgrounds, it ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $8.66!
12 view cover	Songs from the Labyrinth (2006) more music like this by Sting Casual pronouncements are made every so often that the lute songs (the lute is a plucked stringed instrument, an early cousin to the guitar) and madrigals of Elizabethan and Jacobean England were the popular music of their day. And Sting, who alludes to the likes of Vladimir Nabokov in his lyrics, is hardly uneducated in the legacy of fine arts, ... see all copies from $6.25! new only from $6.25!
13 view cover	Nothing Like the Sun (1987) more music like this by Sting If Dream of the Blue Turtles was an unabashedly pretentious affair, it looks positively lighthearted in comparison to Sting's sophomore effort, Nothing Like the Sun, one of the most doggedly serious pop albums ever recorded. This is an album where the only up-tempo track, the only trifle -- the cheerfully stiff white-funk "We'll Be Together" -- ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
14 view cover	Mercury Falling (1996) more music like this by Sting Falling somewhere between the pop sensibilities of Ten Summoner's Tales and the searching ambition of The Soul Cages, Mercury Falling is one of Sting's tighter records, even if it fails to compel as much as his previous solo albums. Though he doesn't flaunt his jazz aspirations as he did in the mid-'80s, Mercury Falling feels more serious than The ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
15 view cover	Reggatta de Blanc (1979) more music like this by The Police By 1979's Reggatta de Blanc (translation: White Reggae ), nonstop touring had sharpened the Police's original blend of reggae-rock to perfection, resulting in breakthrough success. Containing a pair of massive hit singles -- the inspirational anthem "Message in a Bottle" and the spacious "Walking on the Moon" -- the album also signaled a change ... see all copies from $3.88! new only from $7.26!
16 view cover	A Very Special Christmas (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded to benefit the Special Olympics, this has some of the biggest names in contemporary music, most covering seasonal favorites with mixed success. Outstanding tracks include The Pretenders "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," with Chrissie Hynde giving a touching performance. Run-D.M.C.'s topical "Christmas in Hollis" relies heavily on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.71!
17 view cover	Every Breath You Take: The Classics (1995) more music like this by The Police By deleting the 1986 hits collection Every Breath You Take: The Singles and replacing it nearly ten years later with Every Breath You Take: The Classics, A&M improved the original set -- but only slightly. Instead of finally adding the missing hits that were mysteriously absent the first time around ("Synchronicity II," "Demolition Man," "So ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Two Rooms is a wildly uneven star-studded tribute to a wildly uneven superstar songwriting team. Though Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote many of the best pop songs of the '70s and '80s, they have written more than their fair share of clunkers as well. Some of them were chosen for this collection. Tina Turner, for example, tackles the ludicrously ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $8.66!
19 view cover	The Very Best of Sting & the Police [2002] (2002) more music like this by Sting In the summer of 1997, Puff Daddy took "I'll Be Missing You," a sappy reworking of "Every Breath You Take," to the top of the charts across the world; it became the biggest rap single in history. The success of "I'll Be Missing You" had the bizarre by-product of making the Police hip again among both rock and rap artists. So, what better to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.19!
20 view cover	All This Time (2001) more music like this by Sting see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.00!
21 view cover	Sacred Love (2003) more music like this by Sting see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.98!
22 view cover	Every Breath You Take: The Singles (1986) more music like this by The Police Depending on whose report you believe, the Police recongregated in 1985 to either begin work on their sixth studio album or a greatest-hits collection that was to include all new, reworked versions of the hits. Neither ever materialized due to hostility between the members, and when all the trio could show for its work was an insipid remake of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.95!
23 view cover	The Journey and the Labyrinth: The Music of John Dowland (2007) more music like this by Sting/Edin Karamazov see all copies from $6.68! new only from $12.95!
24 view cover	Red Hot + Rio (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Now this is an interesting project; Brazilian standards and newly-composed music interpreted or transfigured by the old masters, rock stars and cutting-edge '90s musicians - with all the proceeds going to fight the spread of AIDS. What is so remarkable about this album is how wholeheartedly the younger musicians relate to the cruising Brazilian ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
25 view cover	Greenpeace: Rainbow Warriors (1989) more music like this by Various Artists In 1989 31 bands donated songs to a fundraiser compilation for international activists Greenpeace. Originally available on vinyl, the CD set includes four bonus tracks. The music is a diverse sample of 1980s rock originally released in the U.S.S.R. as Breakthrough, where it sold 500,000 copies on the day of its release. Eventually U.S.S.R. sales ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.95!
