What an incredible 5 year run that band had between 1978 and 1983. Too bad they couldn't have stuck together longer, but I guess egos got in the way. Sting's solo work gives a hint of what might have been.
I completely agree.
I’ve seen some documentaries on their short time together, and it was pretty clear that they all wanted to go in different directions. While not as financially successful as Sting, Copeland and Summers had productive careers post-Police.
