Favorite Dire Straits Song

[srpantalonas]

Tunnel of love, from the last verse out, Alchemy (live) version

[5thGenDemocrat]

1. Telegraph Road

Favorite Mark Knopfler song: Speedway at Nazareth.
John
But all of Dire Straits is damned good.

[NaMeaHou]

13. I love that entire album

hell I love everything he ever played. A great guitarist and with some intriquing lyrics.

[Systematic Chaos]

2. I would have to go with these three:

"In the Gallery" and "Sultans of Swing" from the first album and "Industrial Disease" from Brothers In Arms.

[srpantalonas]

5. Industrial Disease is from Love Over Gold

which is another great song...

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. skateaway

my all time favorite

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. Seconded.

I love "Skateaway".

[True_Blue]

17. Mine too

I love all of their songs but that was my favorite too.

[Philostopher]

28. That's one of my two favorites, as well.

'Skateaway' and 'In The Gallery.'

[Ohio Dem]

4. The Sultans . . .

The Sultans of Swing.

15. Love The Guitar Solo In That Song. -NT-

Jay

[VOX]

26. I can't listen to "Sultans" often enough...

The guitar work is perfection.

:kick:

6. Romeo and Juliet...

Sultans of Swing as a second

[CShine]

22. Romeo and Juliet

I'll second Romeo and Juliet, especially the live recording from "On the Night." That version is just knockout great.

[RetroLounge]

23. "Romeo and Juliet..."

and all I do is miss you
and the way we used to be
and all I do is keep the beat
with bad company
and all I do is kiss you
through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I'd do the stars with you
anytime

Still gives me chills and pangs of lost love...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. Brothers in Arms

[Swede]

21. It's one of my favorites too.

[carpetbagger]

25. Agreed.

[Spirochete]

8. Tunnel of Love

or Walk of Life.
Just something with an "of" as the middle word. :)

[Girlfriday]

9. Definitely, Sultans of Swing

[mitchum]

10. "In The Gallery"

[starroute]

11. Sultans of Swing here too -- but . . .

. . . it might be because we played that first album to death. I never got any of their later stuff grooved into my head to the same degree.

12. So Far Away...

Now here I am again in this mean old town,
And you're so far away from me.
Now where are you when the sun goes down,
You're so far away from me.

You're so far away from me,
So far I just can't see.
You're so far away from me,
You're so far away from me.
Alright.

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone,
When you're so far away from me.
I'm tired of making out on the telephone,
Cause you're so far away from me.

You're so far away from me,
So far I just can't see.
You're so far away from me,
You're so far away from me.
Alright.

And I get so tired when I have to explain,
That you're so far away from me.
See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain,
And you're so far away from me.

You're so far away from me,
So far I just can't see.
You're so far away from me,
You're so far away from me.
Check it out.

So far away.
You're so far away from me.
(You're so far.)
Alright.
(You're so far.)
Yes, you're so far away from me.

19. Romeo and Juliet: easy winner

Song kills me. I still play it when I gig...

and all I do is miss you
and the way we used to be
and all I do is keep the beat
with bad company
and all I do is kiss you
through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I'd do the stars with you
anytime
