Are you a fan of The Police, and band members Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers? If so, here's your chance to sound off with your opinions on the band! You can vote for everything from your favorite Police albums and songs to best music videos, best solo projects, and even share your thoughts on if The Police will ever reunite again (or even if they should).

You don't have to answer every single question, however; just the ones you have a strong opinion about. So stick around for a while, get comfortable, and have some fun sharing your thoughts and opinions on this great classic rock band.
