vs. vs. "Another Nail in My Heart" vs. "Murder By Numbers" "Pulling Mussels from the Shell" vs. "Roxanne" "Is That Love?" vs. "Every Breath You Take" "Tempted" vs. "Can't Stand Losing You" "Goodbye Girl" vs. "So Lonely" "Cool for Cats" vs. "Message In A Bottle" "If I Didn't Love You" vs. "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" "Black Coffee in Bed" vs. "Tea in the Sahara" "Take Me I'm Yours" vs. "Canary In A Coalmine" "Annie Get Your Gun" vs. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" Interesting Fact: Jules Holland is a big fan of the tv series The Prisoner, owning some of the costumes and props from the series and occasionally appears wearing the trademark brown-with-white-pipe blazer featured in the series. What the hell happened to Patrick McGoohan? Interesting Fact: Early in the Police's career, they would get complimentary press by Sewart Copeland posing as a reporter and submittiing flattering reviews. He'd also phone in multiple requests to radio stations for a song --- "Roxanne" --- that nobody had ever heard of.

My kinda BLC! "Another Nail in My Heart" vs. "Murder By Numbers" --Squeeze. Sting oversings "Murder" -- plus it's difficult to beat the buzzy whirliness of 'Nail." "Pulling Mussels from the Shell" vs. "Roxanne" --Heavyweight matchup. Roxanne has a classic dramatic chorus; 'Mussels" one of the top first 5 seconds in rock history. I'm going with Squeeze on the piano solo! "Is That Love?" vs. "Every Breath You Take" --Neither a favorite. The Police were just whoring for a hit here, and it sounds moire like solo Stink than the Police. Is that Love is fine but just fine. Tie. "Tempted" vs. "Can't Stand Losing You" --Cops. I liked Tempted and all, but it wasn't really a "Squeeze" song. That is to say, it turned out to be their most popular but wasn't particularly representative of them. I like Stinger's bass and Stew's drums as usual. "Goodbye Girl" vs. "So Lonely" --Nice matchup of overlooked early album cuts. The "sped-up" version of GG beats the version I'm being asked to vote for, so I'll go with the Police but reluctantly. 'Driven to Tears' would have creamed it but Soupy keeps dissing it. "Cool for Cats" vs. "Message In A Bottle" --Police. 'Cats' was a neat little song, but 'Message" is better. Terrific drumming again from Stew, particularly as he hammers those toms going into the climatic final verse. "If I Didn't Love You" vs. "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" --Squeeze. "If I" should have been a gigantic hit. It's gorgeous, sung in harmony throughout, pretty melody, kinda funny, memorable. Where does it go wrong? You coud say many of the same things about "Magic" which was a huge hit. What's the major difference? Discuss. "Black Coffee in Bed" vs. "Tea in the Sahara" --Squeeze. Don't take advice on cute thematic matchups from the peanut gallery. "De Doo Doo Doo" might have slaughtered here. "Take Me I'm Yours" vs. "Canary In A Coalmine" --Squeeze. I'd prefer, if you were going with silly Police sons, Bombs Away. "Annie Get Your Gun" vs. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" --So it comes to this. "Annie" is awful nice, and an awful nice song to go out on (this was the final single before Squeeze broke up), but I'd have preferred In Quintessence or Labelled with Love or even Messed Around here. "Don't Stand" is OK too, nice work from Andy and Stew. Police! Squeeze 5.5, Police 4.5 Great work!

This is the all-Brimstone and Treacle matchup.

This is out and out Police brutality.

HahnSolo Jul 26 2006 05:05 PM

After five voters, Squeezed was in position for a minor upset, holding a 26-24 lead. But in a most arresting development, the Police poured it on in the second half to take a comfortable 68-42 win.
