Dire Straits Recommendations

In the 1980s Dire Straits made a lot of money, but it wasn't for nothing. They were among the decade's biggest bands and one of its best. Guitarist Mark Knopfler led the way with his lyrical, finger-picked playing and cinematic songwriting, turning songs like "Sultans of Swing," "Romeo and Juliet," and, of course, "Money for Nothing," into enduring classics.
Here are their essential recordings.
