Meh, I'll listen to them from time to time. That's about as far as it goes though.
 
I voted meh. This band's 18 year career is just a minor string of mediocre LP's and a few good singles. They just haven't done much. I do really enjoy Sultans of Swing and Money for Nothing, but other than that, it isn't really much. They certainly aren't bad, but they aren't great.

I will say this though, Mark Knopfler is a pretty talented guitarist in his own right.
 
Easiest HOF I've ever seen at GTP Music forum 👍
'Going Home' is played at St James' Park when players enter the ground and it is absolutely fantastic, the saxophone and thousands of fans cheering, clapping and waving black-white flags.
 
They're probably good and all, but they're so far from my taste in music that I can't really bring myself to vote for anything besides 'meh'.
 
My dad listens to them and that is the very pinnacle of uncool.
:lol:

Definitely agree. 👍

I actually like their sound, but when you try to resume their whole career, you get less than a handful of good stuff.
