There are no duds in any of their albums.

Mother

Be my girl sally

They aren’t the best and I am the all time police fan

I would say "Born in the 50s", an ode to Boomers that would make Steven Pinker blush, is one of their rare duds and on "Outlandos...", their best album

That’s a good song but not everyone’s taste.

It's hokey and self-indulgent.

Both sting and Copeland were born in the 50’s

Funny... I like Mother quite a lot

Edit: just went and listened again. Yup, this is the song that got me into the band. The 7/4 signature, the absolutely brilliant guitar Solo.... Fuck yeah.

I don’t hate any of their songs. Some better than others but I don’t hate any
