It is not possible for me to put these albums in order, all I can do is say Golden Heart is my number 1, I am a bit dismayed to see Kill To Get Crimson not getting much love though, it contains some of my favourite MK songs:

True Love Will Never Fade
Heart Full of Holes
Secondary Waltz
Madame Geneva's
In the Sky
For me, Mark is such a great song writer, that to put them in order is a disservice, and they should all be viewed as the Mark Knopfler Song Book.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Golden Heart   2,29   (bonus 1,5)
Get Lucky    2,18   (bonus 1,2)
Privateering   1,95   (bonus 1,5)
Sailing to Philadelphia   1,93   (bonus 2)
Tracker   1,82   (bonus 1,43)
Down the road wherever   1,81   (bonus 1,67)
Shangri-La   1,73   (bonus 2)
The Ragpicker's dream   1,42   (bonus 2)
Kill to Get Crimson    1,33
