I prefer Dire Straits
I once had a drunken snog with Mark Knopfler in a pub in Leeds
He's not a bad singer either

Factor - yeah you right - "STRAITS"
Mrs O!!! You little rock chick you!
she's a shocker, not a rocker!

I particularly liked their earlier stuff, especially Sultans of Swing.
I wasn't so keen on their later stuff such as Twistin' by the Pool.
Nox - my other famous snog was the drummer from Free.

Those were the days *sigh*
Yes, tongues and tonsils were involved

Just had Brothers In Arms, So Far Away and Sultans Of Swing repeated on a loop for an hour and not even close to being bored!
Sorry to detract from your thread with tales of my sordid past.

Romeo & Juliet is my all time fave track
Mark Knopfler is an outstandingly brilliant guitarist, but I just can't get on with Dire Straits mid-Atlantic-soft-"rawk"-pander-to-the-lowest
-common-denominator
muzak. Of course, it sells in droves...
A different sound is Mark Knopfler's sound track to Local Hero....(good movie and some beautiful NW Scotland countryside).

And the ultimate is Dire Straits and Eric Clapton together such as at Wembley and San Fran
You snogged the Free drummer, mrs.O?
But is he all right now?
-- answer removed --
Snogs of Dogs?
lol
I liked the Brothers in Arms era but not a fan of anything later- good guitarist though... and I love 'Free' Mrs O.
My favourites are Private Investigations and Your Latest Trick.
