This is the one that got me back in 1979. Hooked on Knopfler ever since.

Used to come back from some heavy nights out with my art college flatmates and listen to DS. This album was so different to everything else then. It all seemed rather 'same as, same as' after that. You just had to be there at the right time in your life.

When you don't play D S often you forget how damn fine they were. Great memories

Greatness.

you can't go wrong with Dire Straits...   Knopfler is one of the greats.

agreed 100% on that my friend   

The first album is still their best, IMO.

Still gives me chills. . .

Oooooh.... Mark made every song great with those magic fingers.  I wish I could play like that.

Still think it would be awesome to do a decent Western Movie with music by Dire Straits -

once there was a river
now theres a stone
you know its evil
when you're living alone.
(great lyric but don't agree with the sentiments)

That's probably because he's trying to sound like JJ Cale on this tune - and that certainly was a compliment. Somehow never realized it before, just hit me listening this time around. (And I am a DS fan also.)

Mark Knopfler Is My Boyfriend (he dosn't know it but)I will love him always.
