Sting is phenomenal. Perhaps you don't care about [pop] vocals. I also enjoy Palestrina. But seeing Sting live was one of the top handful of musical experiences I've had.
Maybe you don't like how touchy-feely a lot of the songs are?
I went to college in Chicago and was walking around millennium park randomly one day about 15 years ago. There was a Sting concert that night, but as I walked past mid day Sting was doing an audio test. It was just me and him and some audio engineers, he played us a private show for about 30 mins. One of the coolest things I’ve experienced.
Growing up I had a friend who called "Every Breath You Take" the "Stalker Song". Which is totally accurate. But there's just something about him. Overrated may not be the best word. Don't like may be more apt.
Sting was the shit in dune.
