U2 - With or Without You vs. The Police - Every Breath You Take?

[Texas King]

Probably the biggest hits by respective bands.

What do you prefer?

[Na na na]

U2

[zepphead]

I'm not a particularly big fan of the Police and I detest U2 so the Police song is the best of a bad lot.

[IbanezJem]

I`m not big on stalker anthems, so I suppose I`ll go for U2.

[invisible airwave]

At least the U2 song isn't a stalker anthem.

[Lorraine]

Here's what I think of Bono and his band. :boo hiss:

[treeduck]

I couldn't vote for U2 even if was a serial killer anthem.

[bathory]

At least the U2 song isn't a stalker anthem.

 

yeah, it's milquetoast. sting had that steely dan thing where he could have a catchy pop song with a subversive meaning, way more intelligent

[bathory]

the police are a proper progressive group to me

[Chicken hawk]

I vote for........U2 love their song with or without you.

[Babycat]

U2.

[ReRushed]

I like both songs very much, but I'm giving it to U2.

[treeduck]

At least the U2 song isn't a stalker anthem.

 

yeah, it's milquetoast. sting had that steely dan thing where he could have a catchy pop song with a subversive meaning, way more intelligent

I prefer toast with jam myself anyway.

Not really a fan of either.

[Rick N. Backer]

They're both good songs. I don't really love either one. I like the Cops more than U2, so I'll give them my vote.

[ReRushed]

UPoo and the Poolice.

The Police. No contest here... next

U2 - I'm a sucker for The Edge's guitar effects. Joshua Tree is a brilliant album.

 

I saw U2 perform Joshua Tree in 2017 and they were fantastic. They've had some bummer tours but this one was pretty amazing.

 

 

Synchronicity is their worst album.

During the 1986 Amnesty International Tour in Giants Stadium, The Police played "Invisible Sun" and then gave their instruments to U2 who thereafter completed the song. To many, it was the symbolic passing of the torch from the Police who ruled the rock scene then to U2.

 

Then all the participants performed Bob Dylan's song "I Shall Be Released".
