Sting any day of the week. Already seeing him + more at Lytham though. 

Saw this in a restaurant in Tuscany near where Sting lives.

Are we really comparing Sting with Rod fucking Stewart?

Sting who wrote the whole Police back catalogue (bar 1 or 2) and a huge amount of solo hits..

Nothing against Rod but... seriously? 

I really don't belong in this world.

Yeah I agree, Sting has written far more shite than Rod could ever hope to.

Banger for banger, I say Rod takes it

Can I just check the definition of the word banger?

I'd claim Sting has marginally bigger cuts from his Police catalogue - but for consistency in a set like that, Rod probably has the edge, aye.

rod only wins if he does 'in a broken dream' ? 😛

only if done in full Python Lee Jackson styleeee. 😄

Ooh la la and Maggie May are definitely bangers!

I'd take Rod over Barry Manilow or Spice Girls any day of the week!

it was a track on my first record '20 original artists*' - i worked out it was rod and that did my head in.

I have neither the authority or expertise to specifically define the term, but from what I understand the label to represent, I'd suggest the disco stylings of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" suitably fits the bill, and that once those strings drop, it would indeed be "taps aff"

I had that album too! Some absolute belters on there! We'll gloss over Gary Glitter though eh? 🙂

Now, if only Mott the Hoople could play the legend slot we'd really be talking!

Please set me free from talk of "tapps aff and" bangers "

it was a good introduction to a wide range of music for me. only other album i had was a 'top of the pops' one, with the big boobies on the cover. can't remember any of the tracks on there, remember being hugely disappointed when i realised they were dodgy cover versions.

Would you prefer we kept our taps an and discussed the bangers of GnR...?

Afear not.

Sting better songwriter, Police better band than Faces, but Rod better entertainer and singalong champ. 

I believe the phrase is "Why not both?"
