Why I Chose This:
I heard this album many times when I was about 13 years old. My stepdad used to play it a lot on the weekends when he'd be driving my step brother and I out to ride dirt bikes. I really liked it then, and it was only a couple of years ago that I thought I'd listen to it again. I gained a new appreciation for it, Mark Knopflers vocals and guitar playing is just so infectious. You'll know from the very first track, Tunnel of Love (which happens to be an 8 minute epic) that this is album is purely and simply great rock music.

Cool album, has a unique sound. brings back flashes of my childhood with my dad playing alot of dire straits. Last song is pretty funny with how much it stands out
ReplyDeleteI feel bad cos I have only heard this 3 times in three weeks. My excuse is that it was first time we did 2 albums and if you add up the 6-7 times i heard Hendrix it was 10, which is my usual AotW count.
ReplyDeleteAnyways I love the first two songs and will continue listening and posting my thoughts up here (unlike you guys)
