You probably also know Sultans of Swing and Walk of Life.Leatherhead wrote:Should I try some Dire Straits? Pretty sure I only know Money for Nothing.
I am in the slow process of digging in the essential albums thread, but Making Movies had no songs I was familiar with, but I was pretty blown away by that.

Yes, the last 5 minutes of Telegraph Road are the best music has to offer. Knopfler’s albums are also very good.Leatherhead wrote:Should I try some Dire Straits? Pretty sure I only know Money for Nothing.

Right I was careful to say personal otherwise I'm making a list for other people to approve of and I'm too old for that shit. I do dig those other artists though esp. Otis.wease wrote:He said it was his own personal list. Maybe he doesn’t dig all those others.

I used to hate Dire Straits because "Walk of Life" is so goddamn annoying, but I came to realize they have a ton of good shit.

Mark Knopfler was a Back to the Future II before there was even a Back to the Future I.

What the hell happened to Incubus? Why are they so lame now? S.C.I.E.N.C.E. - A Crow Left of the Murder was such a good run of records.
