Re: Dire straits
Les Boys. Lol. Forgot about that one! Yes- it's weak.
I love Dire Straits. I thought Brothers In Arms as an album wasn't one of their best- though it has some great songs- the title track is amazing. The Man's Too Strong another winner... Love Over Gold is a great album- not a bad song. My Favourite too Fizzwheel! Industrial Disease is great fun. Live wise- I have Alchemy, but think that though I like it, Mark's voice is particularly monotonous on it- like he's forgotton what the melodies are! (or had a bit to much coke before the gig...) |

Re: Dire straits
Not a fan of al;l thier stuff, but Sultans of swing is still my fav tune. The whole brothers in arms album is brilliant.
