1. Private investigations (#7 in my all-time favourites list)
2. Brothers in arms (#27)
3. Telegraph road (#40)
4. Tunnel of love (#110)

Honourable mention (scoring 9/10 on my scale):

Sultans of swing
Down to the water line

A great band, who should have stopped after Brothers in arms. Love over gold is one of the best albums ever made.

Mine is 'Telegraph road', the first epic song I ever listened to. Runner up: 'Going Home' (although it's credited to Mark Knopfler, the best version in on the Alchemy live album.

I like _Telegraph Road_, _Private Investigations_ and _On Every Street_.

I've heard a live version of _Romeo and Juliet_ though that is great.

But _Walk of Life_ and _Industrial Disease_ aren't too good.

James.

Lady Writer, Dire's Strait sound was original in 1979, sadly became too predictable with the years.

 my personell favourite would have to be Brothers in arms followed by one world, and my third...probbebly Telagragh road.

 and by the way. don't keep saying its not prog why are you talking about it. its a music lounge you should be able to talk about any music. so if its not about dire straits and you're trying to tell me off (na na na i can't hear you)
