Ehm... 2005 had BIA on 19, SOS on 28 and Pi on 29 I believe...
2001 was pretty cool though (BIA 7, SOS 10, PI 14), but didn't have many MK/DS songs in the list in total...

Same here! Of course, I chose what I thought would be the most popular ones rather than my own favourites to give them a better chance.

What are you guys doing! You can't vote for any songs that are going to challenge Mark's ones or you'll be contributing to their beating. ???

Why do Matthijs van Nieuwerkerk and Leo Blokhuis never make a point of MK in the Top 2000 a GoGo? I watch every episode and I never see anything of DS or MK. You do see lots of diffrent musicians, sometimes even musicians who have only one time succes and you will never hear again, in Holland we call that a 'mayflie'.

They mostly combine that with an interview with that artist and most of the times it's hard to get a big star doing such a thing :)

Fact.
Says a lot, doesn't it; popular doesn't necessarily mean good.

There is a proverb that translates like this:
Eat sh*t, millions of flies can't be wrong.

Or maybe we are being so hard on this song. I'll launch a campaign: "Free Walk of Life"! Let the music proceed on its path to eternity!

If I thought for one moment you were being anything but sarcastic Nababo, I would recommend your dismissal from the forum!

I was only joking. But in fact we have to forever deal with the awful truth that WoL is soooo popular outside of our world. So, when people get to know that I like Dire Straits and happen to mention WoL, I don't dare to say that it's hated for the massive majority of real fans. I just follow the walk of life...

I know. It's sad that most people are familiar with Walk but have never heard songs like Water. :disbelief

And no newer songs in the list either >:( :'(

Again, proving these type of lists are just a popularity contest.

But its so awsome to hear the full Tunnel Of Love and Telegraph Road on the radio!!! Quite a rare occasion i think. So really enjoyable on high volume! I'm always looking forward to it.

Wow! Never thought I'd hear that.
I remember this year on holiday in Switzerland a man in a convertible had the roof down and had TR coming out the speakers full blast. I never suspected for a moment a radio show would play it but he seemed taken away with it!

About Walk of life, I agree it's not the best song written and composed by Mark, but I like it, as it's the song that made me liked his music
and I think (no offence intended, noone referred in particular :)) that sometimes the "I don't like WOL" thing is a bit of snobbism.
Often, songs that are big hits became the "worst" songs if you read die hard fans, and almost for all artists.
you know, fans prefer to say that they like the less known songs, it's more "cool"
Of course, while WOL has been my fav one for about 3 months back in summer 88, it has changed and I like much more songs like TR, RATR, Tunnel, It never rains, In the gallery, SHS, WDYWYG, OUATITW, WWE, WII, STP, etc...
BUT I must admit that I like very much walk of life, So far away, Money for nothing,etc... in the same way I like very much songs like Money, another brick in the wall, stairway to heaven, hey joe, sweet home alabama, europa, you really got me, my generation, smoke on the water, walk on the wilde side, proud mary, jumping jack flash, let it be, and the list can go on and on...
it's a little bit like some movies you know. At first they are the best movies ever made, but since many people go see it, it becames some standard blockbusters...
Why a song should become worse because it's aired every time on radio ?
Does the success change a work of art ? :)
(thinking in general of course, I don't mean that WOL is a piece of art ;D)

Well said and I agree. WOL is a classic feel good boogie woogie rock n roll number. Don't care what anyone thinks, it always gets people up rocking. Classic Tune :)
