What's your favorite song?

[Shangeris]

Hello to everyone! While I'm waiting for the Anthology I just want to know wich is the song you prefer with Stewart on the drums...

[TheEqualizer]

Wow. Hard question.

For studio Police - I've gotta say ELTSDIM. Those hi hats are what made me love Stewart's drumming. A close second is CSLY. Several songs come in 3rd place, including Driven to Tears, Synch II (the simplicity of the driving snare), and maybe MIAB. I used to love love love love love No Time This Time, but I've found that I'm not nearly as fond of that song as I used to be. Guess I'm getting old. I dock One World a little bit because I do not think the song itself is as good as Stewart's monster drumming. Murder by Numbers is certainly in top ten for me.

For solo Stewart - Don't Box Me In (if that counts).

Oysterhead - for pure drumming - tie- Rubberneck Lions and Oz is Ever Floating

Live Police - absolutely impossible for me to pick a favorite. Impossible.

Yeah, I know, I've chosen some conventional picks, but whatever. Just being honest rather than trying to show how I'm a Copeland superfan.

PS If you put a gun to my head, my favorite Police song to hear Stewart drum on live is CSLY, any tour.

probably message in a bottle!
but it's very hard to choose because stewart are realy creative, dynamic in each song he played and he created a unique and wonderful sounds!

every little thing he does is magic...

Very tough to decide. For the Polcie songs, probably One World, which has such great drumming. For the solo, I have been listening to Gene Pool a lot lately so the Orchestrelli version comes to mind but I can't say that is really his best. Celeste is also great.

Can't decide. sorry. I need another glass of wine to think. to hard. can't pick one. did I told you I dreamed with him last night? yeaph! another glass of wine will be just fine!

[animal]

Tough decision, can't chose one so here is my list, in no particular order.

Regatta De Blanc - from the opening cross sticking to the crack of that snare, the thundering bass drum, to the cut through ride it's got it all.

Demolition Man - One hell of a rocker. (try and tune out the horns and just listen)

So Lonely (The Live Shard extra from ES:TPIO) Stewart just rips it to shreds.

Red Rain - Peter Gabriel, there's no mistaking those hi-hats.

[Ramuthra]

BRING ON THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!

(i couldn't stand another hour of daylight!)

[peppe21]

SANTU PAULU with Ensemble live!!!
great power drumming!!!

[Shangeris]

The Bed´s Too Big Without You -Live Boston 1979.
Best!

Did you found the version of TBTBWY in the end!?

[smax]

Wield the spade, Oysterhead.. a surprisingly mellow tune with some great tings and splashes.

Synch II; like EQ liking the driving force of it...

Contact too is a personal fave... the fills!! oh, the fills.

this is a hard one to do at work, now i'm sitting here trying to remember that one with the so-and-so etc etc...

[stevel]

Message In A Bottle.
Stewart is just incredible - man he doesn't stop - there's so much happening...

My all time fAVOURITE SONG - by a country mile.

[luddite lady]

That's a crazy hard question. Just about any song that I'm listening to at the moment is my favourite. Like Bongo, I got to give a call out to Masoka Tanga. I think it's their most underrated song. It blows me away everytime I hear it. Regatta definitely has it's moments, too. Then there's Message, Synch II, and....You see what I mean?

[nancyrose]

As others have said, a tough question...but these are a few "constants" for me:

1.) Studio version of Driven to Tears...makes me shudder.

2.) Live version of CSLY...frenetic beat that goes right through me.

3.) I Burn for You

4.) Red Rain...unmistakable Stewart. Makes me cry.
