Dire Straits are amazing!!  Mark Knopfler is a criminally underrated guitarist.  His melodies are just wonderful.

Brothers in Arms and Making Movies are incredible albums.  ANyone who hasn't got them, go out and buy them.  ok

i love dire straits.

i agree with miz, knopfler is an extremely talented guitarist. also extremely underated. i wonder how he fairs on those greatest guitarist lists. he's definetly in the top 20 in my book.

played with his fingers too, awesome i say.

just an alround great band.
excuse my ignorance but what nationality are they? i thought they were australian but im not sure any more.

They're british.  Knopfler is a Geordie which means he's from Newcastle (although I think he was born in Glasgow) for all you uneducated people.

The rest of the band (other than the Knopfler brothers) was assembled in London I think and I'm not sure where they all came from.
