Telegraph Road (live version) may rival freebird for an epic, yet still subtle, guitar solo.

Romeo and Juliet
Brothers in Arms
Sultans of Swing

Knopfler gets all the praise, however the band of Dire Straits were phenomenally tight and talented in their own right and gave him the platform to do his thing.


Let me guess without reading back, thewobbler opinion?

I'll point out Knopflers 2006 duet album with Emmy Lou Harris - a thing of brilliance

J70

Telegraph Road
Tunnel of Love
You and your friend

Knopler is one of the greatest guitarists ever IMO.

seafoid

The man's too strong
Sultans of swing
Romeo and Juliet

Eamonnca1

Walk of life
Money for nothing

For third place it's a toss-up between:
Why worry
Industrial disease

The Brothers in Arms album was a masterpiece.

Taylor

Hard to pick only three

Romeo & Juliet
So Far Away
Latest Trick

Honourable mentions to Sultan Of Swing, Walk Of Life, Tunnel Of Love, Brothers In Arms
