Actually it was an anthem in every hip club during that first summer of love. Even your mates Genesis and Sleazy were probably grooving to it.

Oddly I've not heard this is ages. Was expecting a little more power from Knopfler( although he has his moments). However, I'll take it against B

I find it hard to be critical about Dire Straits, as I never really find them an unpleasant listen, and Knopfler's clearly got plenty of imagination and ability. I just don't go for their sound and their style.

B is obviously a classic and I can still dig the bassline and beat today but the video looks disconcertingly like a preacher who's hired a few minutes of TV airtime on a local channel.

At some point in my teens I quite enjoyed A, but I cannot fathom why I did listening to it today. B I suppose takes this one, though I'm not especially warm to it either.

Dire Straits beats a house classic. Man this board has some fucked up music taste.
