Interesting double entendre here. Anyway, I think Sting was so much more
visible than the rest of the band, making it easier for him to break free.
Also, though the police had a number of big hits, they did not have the
"mega" status that Zep had and still has. Zep's four members were all very
well-known, and many of their songs broke significant ground and had major
impacts on people's lives. The Police were simply a very talented band with
some very popular songs and a great lead singer, but did not have the
profound impact on music that bands like Zep, the Who, Beatles, Stones,
Queen, Floyd, etc had.
