i like sultans of swing all the other ones have been dreary so far. the ultimate CD band in my mind. made for compact disc.

 

[WashYourHands]

Sultans does swing, think my Mum had it

this one is promising so far. im so tired. the sun is out. doing a lager. up at 3am tomorrow. need some dire straits.

Sultans is swing is easily the best innit? Everyone likes it.

Lol as I write this an old man has just ridden past on a bike with a big speaker strapped on to it blasting out Final Countdown and waving at everyone

 

[luka]

this has a nice feel. the hoarse voice is offputting for me tho

 

[Benny Bunter]

Don't mind money for nothing and tunnel of love when I hear them

 

[luka]

o this is a good one

Was gonna say Road to hell but that was Chis Rea wasn't it? I've definitely got a soft spot for overproduced 80s MOR blues rock through my dad.

 

[Benny Bunter]

My dad was a proper hifi geek, be used to buy those hifi magazines and always had quite a good set up with nice speakers and hifi separates and that. Stuff like dire straits is designed for this, what theyd put on in a hifi shop to test the equipment

super clean

 

[luka]

decent. bit half hearted maybe

that husky voice is a big thing in this type of music. quite ugly really.

Another Mark Knopfler/Dylan collab that wasn't released for years for some reason despite being one of Dylan's best ever imo
