Does anybody else here listen to the band Dire Straits? I think they're an amazing band, they have some good lyrics and Mark Knopfler is just amazing. My favorite songs from them are "skateaway", "sultans of swing", and "money for nothing".

He's got such a great,casual playing style, like its nothing. "Brothers in arms" for exemple, its like the guitar is singing for him. Yeah they're really one of a kind, great qualitative music.

Yeah I agree 100%. Not only is the man a stellar guitarist, he's also a great vocalist.
