I was drawn in by the fact that they are all excellent musicians...Stings bass playing is an influence since he takes the minimal route alot at it works so well to leave space - his playing was some of the first that made me realize not all basslines have to be busy to be effective. Andy Summers' had some pretty out there sounds/playing considering the band was pretty mainstream, a huge influence on my love of effects, and Stewart is obviously an awesome drummer.
Sting was a twat and still is, but he wrote some incredible songs back then.
Each album of theirs definitley has filler, but also has some amazing non-single songs that are just as good as the singles.
