The Police
From "Roxanne" on, just about every little thing they did was magic. The Police started out playing tightly wound reggae/punk (or what passed for punk back then), exploring increasingly literate and exotic sounds on subsequent albums until they eventually dovetailed with Sting's own aspirations as a romantic poet. Regatta de Blanc is something of a dud, but the rest of their records were lifesavers in the bland sea of the 80s.
