treeduck Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Def Leppard are often called a pop band so let's put them up against a pop band. The Police had 5 albums and Def Leppard had 5 good albums, so it's the Police and their 5 albums against Def Leppard and their 5 good albums. Who's got this? Edited May 21, 2020 by treeduck 1
HemiBeers Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Da Police. Def Leppard were just warmed over English Bon Jovi. 2
treeduck Posted May 21, 2020 Author Posted May 21, 2020 I've added a couple more questions, album vs album questions.
Nova Carmina Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 The Police were more consistently interesting. 1
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Wow, this is like one of my polls! Fraid I can't vote here, as I haven't heard enough of Leppard's albums to judge. Come to think of it I haven't heard a couple Police albums either...

treeduck Posted May 21, 2020 Author Posted May 21, 2020 I was sure the CAT would vote a clean sweep for the Police here being an Andy Summers lookalike and all... 1
The Cat 3 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 The Police were a shooting star that burned bright for a short time and burned out quickly. Great musicians, great albums and songs. I have been a fan since their great debut. I wish I didn’t know that they dislike each other and have so since the beginning. ——————————————————— Def Leppard are a great band, great albums and great live. Also, they just don’t give up ever, even in the face of adversity. I also argue the point that they only have 5 good albums. They have some great albums, but all of them are good. I also love the fact that they are all big music fans... ...I suspect that if they weren’t in the music business they’d be here answering and arguing polls with the rest of us. Needless to say I voted Def Leppard in all three categories. 1
The Cat 3 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I was sure the CAT would vote a clean sweep for the Police here being an Andy Summers lookalike and all...More like a Don Knotts lookalike. :) 1

And how do you like Sting's solo career? I'm not a big fan of Sting myself.

Lorraine Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I was all for the Police until I got to the last option. Can't choose one over the other right now. They are both top albums in my book. EDIT: Had to go with Synchronicity if for no other reason it contains Wrapped Around My Finger, King of Pain, and Synchronicity I and II Edited May 21, 2020 by Lorraine 3

RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Da Police. Def Leppard were just warmed over English Bon Jovi. I love ya Hemi, but Def Leppard sadly evolved into a shite warmed over English Bon Jokei. Def Leppard started out on the NWOBHM scene with "On Through The Night!" Then they released a masterpiece "High N Dry" and yes, it blows away anything AC/DC did with BJ. "Pyromania" is a masterpiece hit record. It was the bridge though into the MTV Pop Movement. Could you imagine if Rick never lost his arm? True, "Hysteria" would have still been a multi-platinum release but it would have been so much better with real organic drums. That's life. Personally I love "Adrenalize" too. So this is interesting in my mind. I love the first five Def Lep records and the first five Police albums. Stewart blows Rick away even before that horrible Corvette accident. I love polls were I can't choose. "Freewill" is playing in my head now....... OK! FUCKK IT! If I had to go to a desert island and I could only take the first five Police albums or the first five Def Leppard albums..... My gut is going with DEF LEPPARD!!! "Driven To Tears" is driven into my brain. I can set up an organic drum kit on the beach and play it. I could listen to "On Through The Night" forever. Hmmmmm. I love Steve Clark too. Just think if he wasn't an addict. FUKK! 3
RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 You kill me Pat, but you always make my brain think! I love it. I took High over Zen. 1
Rick N. Backer Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 This could be the toughest match up ever for me. Pyromania beats out Synchronicity relatively easily. High N Dry v. Zenyatta really depends on what I'm in the mood for. I'm probably in the mood for High N Dry more often though. Band? I really love both. I have to kick this one around. 2
chemistry1973 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I voted for the Police, but Pyromania was better than Synchronicity. 2
stoopid Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) The Police are a better band, making more interesting music IMO over their career. Their music is unique enough to remain timeless. Def Leppard was a 3 album quality hard rock band, High n Dry and Pyromania being their pinnacle achievements IMO. I feel like half their tracks now sound dated in some way. Edited May 21, 2020 by stoopid 1
Fridge Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 The Police piss all over those poodle-permed Sheffield sellouts from a very high cliff indeed. 6
