In honor of the tickets we're giving away to see The Police (look in Time Out on Thursday or the Sunday paper to win), the top 5 for this week will be our favorite 5 Police songs to groove to here in the Scene & Heard office. And believe us when we say it was darn hard to leave "Mother" off this list.

The Top 5 Police tunes
5. Synchronicity I - if this fiery tune doesn't get you charged, you're probably a turtle stuck on your back. That, and completely lame.
4. Roxanne - no one felt bad for uh... hookers till this song broke the group into the limelight
3. Deathwish - a barn burning groovefest of punky awesomeness.
2. King of Pain - self-martyrdom and pity never sounded so gorgeous. Or awesome!
1. Message In A Bottle - too anthemicly powerful to not top the list. Sounds as relevant now as it did when Reagen was president. Relate it to love, or politics, or life in general, and it hits home just as hard.
