Sting was the least talented member of The Police. By a lot. I mean he could write some catchy lyrics, but he’s not that great at anything else. All you’ve got to do is look at their post Police collaberations:
Andy Summers - Robert Fripp, John Etheridge, Fernanda Takai
Stewart Copeland - Adrian Belew, Vittorio Cosma, Peter Gabriel
Sting - Shaggy

So there you go. Sting should be giving Summers and Copeland thank you checks for making him famous and fooling people into thinking he has talent.

I agree with you to some extent, but Sting was still talented as a songwriter, but Summers added some great chords to his songs.

Sting - Shaggy

That's disingenuous. Sting had great jazz musicians on his solo albums, as well as collaborating with Eric Clapton, Charles Azvanour, Cheb Mami, Herbie Hancock, and many others.
