Is Johnny Marr a Hall of Famer?

That's entertainment.

 

I'm kind of surprised by all of the hate for Sting's solo career. For those of you saying he had 1 good album, I'm not even sure which you mean. He had a pretty significant, McGwire / Schilling sized hole in the middle, but before he fell of a cliff he had IMO 4 great albums:

The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985)
...Nothing Like the Sun (1987)
The Soul Cages (1991)
Ten Summoner's Tales (1993)

He then put out years of crap, and explained why in this TED talk:

I'll agree with the first two. They don't make up for being a pretentious, lute-playing twat in a cable-knit sweater.

And may I say, it's just so Sting that he has a TED talk explaining why he sucks.

(And yeah, he's probably getting in.)

 

I'd guess that how you feel about Sting's solo career directly correlates to how you feel about Synchronicity. Fuck Synchronicity.

 

I'll agree on the song, but not the album, or even synchronicity 2.
