He said it was his own personal list. Maybe he doesn’t dig all those others.

Listen to the new Rosalía album, it's basically the same thing

You probably also know Sultans of Swing and Walk of Life.

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.

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.

Another big MK/Dire Straits fan here. Great songwriter, great guitarist. One of my favorites.

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.

Walk of Life is my favourite Dire Straits song because I loved "Space Camp" as a kid

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.
