Dire Straits

[Basil Fawlty]

Anyone a fan? I've been a fan of them for about 6 years now, my dad used to have them on cassette and that got me started on them.

Tunnel of Love.

 

[BIRCHYBOY27]

Nope

 

[tinx]

I bought brothers in arms when it was one of about only 5 CDs available to buy when CD first came out, but it really is a tediously boring album form a tediously boring band

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

7.6

 

[Spunk Bubble]

Take them or leave them. Not fussed

 

[Scarface]

Great driving music. Walk of Life

 

[tedebear]

They have their moments, one of those bands that requires a certain mood and drink...

 

[surrey jim]

great music, Romeo and Juliette,

 

[TSB]

Dire is correct.

 

[chez]

Excellent group with one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

 

[Gazwag]

Telegraph Road for me

 

[Parson Henry]

Another thread to spawn a divide between genuine affection or a desire to be cool, young and groovy.

 

[Storer68]

absolutely dreadful.

sultans of swing was alright for about 5 minutes in 1979 but really, their other stuff is shocking.

 

[Icy Gull]

I like them but probably shit to most of NSC

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Walk of Life

Sultans of Swing

Romeo and Juliet

Tunnel of Love

 

[le ros bif]

I see you're from Lancing....suggest you get out a bit more!

 

[Northstander]

not fussed!

Alchemy (spelt right?) was a cracking live album!

 

[Nibble]

Always one of those bands that is very much of it's time. That is not a bad thing but there are a few bands that evoke that. I find Talking Heads does the same.

Not bad, not great just kinda there.

 

[Göttingen gull]

top band- saw knopfler play in the brighton centre 2 years back instead of watching liverpool win the champions league.. i must have been the youngest person in the audience by about 30 years..(i was 19)..
