“Brothers in Arms” was the first CD I bought. My favorite Dire Straits track is “Lady Writer” — many great tracks to choose from. “El Macho” is a great Mark Knopfler solo track.

I hate I even watched it. The video ruined one of my favorite Dire Straits songs. Incidentally, Reckless Kelly does a GREAT version of Romeo and Juliet live occasionally.
Money for Nothing on MTV convinced me to buy my first CD and CD player. Up until then I was always a vinyl buyer. FWIW I never gave up on vinyl and still have a great setup for it.

Awesome! Knoffler is terrific. Also love when he played some duets with Chet Atkins, great stuff.

I wasn't much of a fan of Brothers in Arms, in particular Money For Nothing. I loved their earlier songs, Skateaway, Romeo & Juliet, Sultans of Swing. I also liked his guitar work on Dylan's Infidel album.
