down to the waterline
sultans of swing
tunnel of love
telegraph road
money for nothing
walk of life

That list isn't complete. Add in Romeo and Juliet, and So Far Away.

Lightiningfarts, your mom did not date Knopfler, the greatest guitar player ever, nor did your dad go to ball games with Hendrix, nor is Clapton your uncle's fishing buddy. We will never believe you. Sorry.

i really dont know why, but romeo and juliet doesnt get me liek their other songs do. and so far away wasnt on the money for nothing album, which is why i didnt mention it.

I used like them a lot, especially the song romeo and juliet, but eventually I got tired of them and moved on.

'In rode the Lord of the Nazgul. A great black shape against the fires beyond, he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgul, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.
All save one. There, waiting silent and still in the space before the gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax : Shadowfax, who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dinen.'

Marlin, money for nothing is on Brothers in Arms. Unless there's another album I'm not aware of.

money for nothing is one of their best songs...whats not to like about it. its not exactly typical dire straits but its so damn good.

i dont know why dire insists on repeating their songs numerous times throughout all their albums...it gets annoying casue like sultans of swing, bothers in arms, and money for nothing are on like 3 albums each i think.

dear J.D._IMADOUCHEBAG, let me correct the youngun. rhythm guitar player for some tours or something like that. he never said knopler, so you aren't really right, nor is he. punctuation wasn't enough to win this time either.

^Allow me to add you to the list of people who hate me for no adequately explained reason. This list is getting pretty long, actually. Someone should make a cult.

Right...then...I'll try to be less...proper... in the future. Wait, why is it bad to be proper now? People place way too much value in acting the way everyone else does. If you find me pretentious because I don't fit in with the norm on this site, that's not my problem, that's just how you see it. As far as I'm concerned, I do things differently, not better or worse.

my parents used to listen to them all the time when I was little, so I know most of the songs.... sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby, sometimes you're the ball. I like that song. I forget what its called though.
