Well, I put those suspension points because there are many good songs from them (a shame for the thread that Sultans of Swing is from the 70s, oh well). Btw, nice song. |
I know what you meant, but the only Knopfler songs I really like are Lover Over Gold, Telegraph Road, Brothers in Arms.
I've never been a Dire Straits fan. As much as I like 80s music, there's plenty of popular songs from the decade I always disliked, e.g. Walk of Life and Money for Nothing, plus many of the songs in this 100 greatest songs poll posted by MH in the OP: http://www.antimusic.com/news/06/oct/27.shtml . #1 for example, obviously one of the most popular song from the 80s, is a song I hate with passion.
The 80s had lots of great songs and albums, but it can't hold a candle against the 60s and 70s imo.
