I didn't include Blood on the Tracks because I tend to skip "Lilly, Rosemary, & the Jack of Hearts"

I respect your opinions...............
The 70's
The RAMONES blazed the trail stormed by the Clash and the SEX PISTOLS..................Give them some respect...................... They all ROCK
Acknowledge the influence of Springsteen in the 70's
Hair, Glam, Punk and pop were of no interest to many.........................

I would add REM's "Murmer" to the 1980's and replace Elvis Costello's "My Aim is True" with "Armed Forces." Other than that, great list.

"Love Over Gold" is by far their best album, "Brothers in Arms" was WAY overrated.

for me it was either "My Aim Is True" or "Spike."
"God's Comic" is the most beautiful song he's written yet.

Brothers in Arms get criticism from hard core Straits fans because it had too many "hits." But the non-hits are what make the album, "Your Latest Trick" "Why Worry" and the title track are as good as anything Knopfler and Co ever did.
