I agree. Steward + Sting was a combination destined for greatness with Andy along for the ride (mediocre guitarist but to his credit was perfect for the band).

Remember 'Contact'? Cheesy lyrics but showcased Stewart's cool fills and accents:

Contact - The Police

Even Neil Peart started to sound like Stewart.

mediocre guitarist

I completely disagree. He has a Masters in Music and is an amazing guitarist.

Have you ever listened to any of Sting's Demos? He really should have gotten songwriting credit. Those song were so boring without him.

He knew all the chords Sting liked, but didn't know. Like this song, Walking on the Moon, where he started using Add 9 chords. They have two songs in Phrygian Mode.

But when you get down to it, those were not the same without him. And Sting has never been the same without both of his sideman.
