Looking back now, it's easy to think that from 1983 and for the next couple of years, Michael Jackson singularly ruled the music world. But to think that would disrespect The Police and how massive their fifth album, "Synchronicity" was. And looking back now -- with almost 40 years(!) to reflect -- it's even more remarkable what a juggernaut Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers produced. Think about it: It's an album whose title is based on the writing of Arthur Koestler (sure) with songs referencing domestic troubles (ok), the atomic bomb (sure, but everyone was), the Loch Ness Monster (huh?), obsession and stalking (creepy!), divorce (who hasn't?), and, um, mother issues (yeesh). But it also includes the most famous non-love love song ever, "Every Breath You Take," which ruled the airwaves on both sides of the Atlantic and accounts by itself for one-fourth of Sting's income. The fact that the band broke up after this one just adds to the mystic.
