   Actually a group I grew up with so I heard Brothers In Arms album first and worked my way backwards ... Top 10 are:

1) Brothers In Arms

2) Sultans Of Swing

3) Tunnel Of Love

4) Your Latest Trick

5) Ride Across The River

6) Why Worry

7) Romeo And Juliet

8) Hand In Hand

9) Money For Nothing

10) Expresso Love

Hmm, I must have been done and dusted with this group by the time I got
into prog cos I always found Telegraph Road and Private Investigations
boring ...

	I think all of Love Over Gold is in my top 10 DS songs, than all of side 2 of Brothers In Arms as well as Sultan , Gallery and Six Blade Knife from their debut. That probably makes for more than 10, but who cares.......

	Dire Straits was my first favourite band (just before Marillion) when I was 14-16. Best songs: each one except Industrial Disease on LOVE OVER GOLD, News, Where You Think You're Going, Lady Writer, Single Handed Sailor, Brothers in Arms, Once Upon a Time in the West and Tunnel of Love in ALCHEMY LIVE, .... Christ, I get sentimental and nostalgic now...
