Police by a mile.
Who was U2's drummer? Exactly. LOL Or bassist for that matter. Joshua Tree vs Outlandos D'Amour though? That's a wobbler for me.

U2, The police were never interesting to me,
Personal opinions aside, U2 albums out sold the Police by a huge margin. LOL, and Taylor Swift crushed them both, so what. Edited to add, it's true great minds do think alike.

Neither.
Stewart Copeland is the only musician of note (IMO) to come out of either camp, but he never made The Police tolerable to my ear. I think both groups pretty much just sucked.

It’s weird how many guys here are so knowledgeable on Taylor Swifts accomplishments,
Just sayin.

The Edge and Andy Summers didn't have the flashy licks like so many other bands of the time, but they certainly knew their way around a delay and a chorus pedal. Both were genius level rythm players which doesn't stand out to guitar guys much. They both were huge influences on a lot of what was to come. Sting is an exceptional bassist in my opinion.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Just sayin. LOL, if you promised to give me $100K to name one of her songs, I couldn't. Personally think she's vastly overrated, except in making money. But you'd have to be deaf dumb and blind not to know she's a pop phenomenon.

As determined by the epiphany Africans in arid Africa have difficulty digging wells and bigoted white Europeans should teach them, but only while wearing rose tinted glasses, it’s EeeUuu2 by the cost of airfare to the countries so affected.

It’s weird, I think the Police are more talented, but I like more U2 songs. I was just about to post the exact same thing. With or Without You was the perfect track in Blown Away though Roxanne always reminds me of the jail scene in 48 Hrs. I’m not a fan of either but The Police were more talented IMO. U2 was the more easy listening and the fuller sound of the two.

Sting is an exceptional bassist in my opinion. I’m sure he’s relieved that some dumbfuck spic on an internet Forum approves. LOL
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Who was U2's drummer? Exactly. Exactly. 100%. And Hig is spot on. Sting was an exceptional bassist. Not in terms of technical chops, but in making lines that are memorable and serve as secondary melody. Further, try this : play a few of the bass lines on any instrument and see if you can sing the vocal track along while you're doing it ... Good luck!

Yeah but Stewart and Andy hated the period when Gordon played the fretless bass.
