The very best of dire straits album6/16/2023 Its rolling verses, unusual song structure (for pop music), gentle flecks of guitar between lyrics about appreciating old-time music ("It ain't what they call rock and roll"), wild guitar solo, and even wilder guitar outro all appealed to me, though it would be some time before I finally decided that this is one of my all-time favorite songs. In my youth I would hear "Sultans of Swing" on the radio and was quite taken with it. ![]() Heck, I don't even consider myself a casual fan. Is it so wrong that I don't consider myself a Dire Straits fan? I like their music-or at least some of it-and I can recognize the songwriting prowess and guitar virtuosity of Mark Knopfler, but I am not a true fan. Review Summary: A satisfying compilation, this album delivers what fans of the hits and casual fans of the band will expect.
