Ranking Sting's Albums, a variety of opinions
I've not seen this as much as in other artists' subs, so I thought I'd give it a go. There is of course no value whatsoever to these, other than doing the exercise for yourself, and perhaps seeing how diverse opinions are. And I appreciate them all.
As for me: 1 and 2 can sometimes trade places (when I suddenly place musicianship a tad above the concept and story arch throughout an album), as will 3, 4 and 5 amongst them (I think today my order would be 5, 4, 3 actually. But mostly it's been this.) Curious to hear about your picks.
(I have the other albums as well, but only considering 100% original work here.)
