The most useful way to divide the body of music created by man, is into Dire Straits, and non-Dire Straits.
Once you've learned to appreciate the subtely and refinement of Knopfler and company, every other artist pales in comparsion.
Eric Clapton has admitted an inferiority complex because of Knopfler's majestic guitar stylings.
Dire Straits: will there ever be a better band?

A awesome band, who plays tightly, amazing guitar solos, very unappreciated in the younger generation, and that's a shame because this band "played as an organic whole" - Bob Dylan
Probably the most popular of their songs (lthough they wrote many good songs) is "The Sultans of Swing"
