You know, I probably wouldn't have even thought of The Police, but I saw an interview with Andy Summers last night, so they were fresh in my mind.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was way into The Police in high school and early college. So now they're one of those bands I just can't listen to objectively. I hardly listened to them at all for a long time, but in the last few years I've acquired their oeuvre on CD or iTunes.
I was gonna guess The Feelies, but I googled and found they've released four albums and an EP.
The Feelies were awesome....
eta: "Can't Stand Losing You" was my favorite song in high school....

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
You can say that again.
I think only their first album is in print right now, though.

I had to pay a shitload of money for a few Feelies albums a year ago or so.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They're my favorite band of all time. And I'm not even sure that their first album is still in print either.

Didn't they only have four LPs? COME ON PILGRIM was an EP, and it's on the CD of SURFER ROSA.
The same could be said of Tool, as Opiate is only an EP.
there's nothing they put out I'd consider a great album back to front, let alone of all time.
GHOST IN THE MACHINE! Spirits in the Material World, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, Invisible Sun, Hungry For You, Demolition Man, Too Much Information, Rehumanise Yourself, One World, Omegaman, Secret Journey, Darkness??? Come on! Those are great songs that come together as a great album!

Crazy Rhythms is listed on Amazon as only being available through resellers, and the starting price is $32.99, so I'm guessing it's not in print.

Wow, I just checked Amazon and you're right. This is a truly wicked, evil world.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They're my favorite band of all time.
I didn't know that. Though come to think of it, "The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness..."
Did they ever release the cover songs they did in Something Wild? ("I'm a Believer," "Before the Next Teardrop Falls")
Somebody should rip those off the movie if they haven't.
