Toss up between Message in a Bottle and When the World is Running Down.

Least favorite is easier--Roxanne. I've heard enough random , drunken, off key versions of "ROXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE" shrilled out at bars and parties alone to never want to hear that song ever again.

And, for clarification, the 1980 original version from Zenyatta Mondatta, not the 1986 monstrosity included on their first "greatest hits" package. Just awful.

You could hear Sting's solo career there. Awful.

[Verse 1]
Well, someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

[Chorus]
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

[Verse 2]
Now no-one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years, or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat, they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

I would get so mad that they had this perfect album that was ruined by that annoyance.

Totally agree - Mother is

One of my favorites is "Man in a Suitcase". The faster version from the Live double disc.

So hard to decide on a favorite. Those 5 albums they did are so good.

I guess the faves would be:

Synchronicity II
Can't Stand Losing You
Truth Hits Everybody
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Spirits in the Material World
King of Pain

Easy... Synch II is a bad song. I mean, there's literally nothing good about it.

It is, even with my disdain for Roxanne. That's the only bad song on the whole album and it is my favorite record of theirs. I actually thought they gradually went a little downhill every record they made. If I were to list their five studio albums in order of my preference it would match the order they were released exactly. I think Synchonicity is the worst album they did. That doesn't mean it is bad. It means it is my least favorite.

This is worthy of a humiliating kick in the crotch.
