"Sultans Of Swing" is one of the greatest songs ever.

I'm serious. I just downloaded it, and it kicks major sphincter. I just wish I was 10 years older, so I could have truely appreciated it when it first came out.

Dire Straits is the most underrated band in history, IMO.

1. Good tune...

...and I like their music, but that voice has always left me cold.
Funny, I didn't know Dire Straits music was public domain these days :P

edit: ok, I made the assumption that you pirated the song. I don't know why. Sorry (if I'm wrong).

...yes,they are one of the most underrated groups ever. When music went to punk and new wave, and 3/4 of the old bands sold out or went under, one could always count on Dire Straits to produce quality music. Nice call.

8. I agree

That song has a very cool sound that I have loved since I first heard it when it came out in early 1979.

Stupid Rolling Stone just came out with a list of the top 500 songs of all time and didn't even include it ... :thumbsdown:
