Tonight’s featured artists made the Rolling Stone’s list of the top 10 messiest breakups in Rock and Roll. In an interview the lead singer cites that the member of the group who wrote music couldn’t handle it when he said the songs were no good.  Can you guess the band??

So who couldn’t take the heat? According to Sting it was the Police’s Stewart Copeland, along with guitarist Andy Summers. He summed up the group's problem in a 2007 interview with Rolling Stone. "We didn't have a great deal in common," he said. "We were different generations, in Andy's case, welded together by a flag of convenience . . . Part of the frustration was that Stewart and Andy were driven to write. It's difficult to tell somebody it's not a good song, and it was usually me." Sting pulled the plug in 1984 after a long stadium tour in support of their massive album Synchronicity. "It wasn't my intention to punish Stewart and Andy in any way," Sting said. "I was following my instincts."
