...seems I have slightly different taste to the rest of you

 

[One More Solo]

Doo doo, de de la de la doo doo, de la doo doo, de de la de la doo doo.

Here comes Johnny singing..

If anybody mentions Walk Of Life I'm asking for the thread to be closed.

Worryingly that's my dad and sister's favourite. For me it's Brothers In Arms or Why Worry (despite the latter being about 2 minutes longer than it needs to be imho)

I like all of On Every Street. It sounds fantastic. A couple songs are really cheesy, but I love How Long and the guitar solo in it. Cracking stuff.

Telegraph Road!

Definitely Telegraph Road - 14 minutes of genius.

Agreed. It's not top on my Last FM plays for Dire Straits song (my Last FM profile is "slightly" Dire Straits biased!) but it's an incredible song. In fact, the songs that do "beat" it on my overall top listened to tracks are Romeo & Juliet (#1), Walk of Life (#2 ) and Your Latest Trick.

Sultans of Swing is amazing live, the longer versions (~15 mins) are genius, with extended guitar solos and duets between guitar/sax and guitar/keyboard. Romeo and Juliet is fantastic live as well.

Pretty much all of their first album (self titled) are all classics too. MK = God

Brothers in arms - live - id kill to have that sound and ability

 

[BrightonBelle]

Brothers In Arms - I had to do a piece of Choreography to it in one of my school dance courses

Brilliant.

[One More Solo]

Brothers in arms - live - id kill to have that sound and ability

Ummm, irony?

 

[AthlonTom]

Money for Nothing!


Though I really like MK's solo stuff when I'm driving

 

[Ian]

Sultans followed by Tunnel of Love i think

Also love Mark Knopflers Local Hero

 

[Tax Evader]

All this Dire talk has got me in the mood... got my favourite DS album on - "The Best Of Dire Straits"!

 

[Squarehed]

Brothers in Arms (album) every time

 

[Tax Evader]

I love 'em all.. but I also like the song they did at Knebworth in 1990, called "I Think I Love You Too Much" .. with EC. It never appeared on an official DS studio album.
