Subject: Sting song poll (90s only!)

Written By: nally on 05/31/05 at 2:25 pm

What are your favorite songs by Sting from the 90s? You may select up to three.

By the way, even though "Desert Rose" was a hit in 2000, I included it because it's from the 1999 album Brand New Day.

My picks:
All This Time
If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
Fields Of Gold

Mine are:

Fields of Gold
If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
After The Rain Has Fallen (from '99 album Brand New Day, I used to hear it on the radio occasionally)

"Brand New Day" was a great album. My mom won it in a contest... then she won the grand prize for that contest.. she got to MEET Sting at a concert... we still have a bass guitar he autographed for us.

I like "A Thousand Years", though it never got radio play..

Fields of Gold
All This Time
All For Love


Fields of Gold is so beautiful; I remember Michelle Kwan skating to this during her exhibition skate at the 2002 Winter Games, and it was so sad because everyone knew how much she wanted that gold medal.  Everytime I hear that song, I get all teary eyed.

He's had some amazing songs over the years. Ultimately, I voted for "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You". :)

I picked "All This Time" and "Desert Rose. The other selection went to "When We Dance"...for sentimental reasons.  :)

I wonder if Jason (whistle-Dog) knows the chart positions of Sting's singles??

I liked If I Ever Lose My Faith in You a lot but Fields Of Gold is such a haunting tune I voted for that instead.

I inserted two songs from his 1996 album Mercury Falling, which I had completely forgot when I made this poll! I still kept "Desert Rose" (even though it was a hit in 2000; it happened to be a track from a 1999 album).
Oh, and I preserved the "other" option, and put it last.

I do remember "You Still Touch Me" from mid-to-late 1996; I'm surprised it attained such a low position. :( I'm guessing it was more popular here in the world of "adult contemporary tracks", as I remember it being on Casey Kasem's American Top 20 countdown at the time.
