10. Brothers in Arms (1985) - Dire Straits 78/100. I chuckled while thinking that if this album was to be written in the last decade-and-a-half, the blockbuster hit from the album wouldn't have been written since it isn't possible to, "play the guitar on the MTV". You can play Real World/Road Rules Challenge on the MTV, or be Engaged and Underage on MTV, but not too many guitars being played. That being said, first time listen for me. I found a couple of the songs to be a little 80's-ish and a little slow for my taste. Yet, very melodic and well suited to be played in a doctor's office. The popular tracks Walk of Life, Money for Nothing, and So Far Away were as good as they always had been. A couple of the deeper tracks like Why Worry, Ride Across the River, (melodically both could easily work as a video game soundtrack which, if you have ever read anything on this blog, is a big selling point for your's truly) and One World were treats. Listened - 11/23/10
Favorite Tracks: Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, Ride Across the River
