The funniest thing to me is that you can barely hear this National guitar on the record.

to me the funniest thing is that a typical eighties record has on its sleeve a very old guitar, iconic instrument from the deep south blues in the 30's !

And one of the most famous lines from one of the most iconic 80s albums also references a National guitar...

Good catch! It makes me think that Graceland's album cover would make more sense with the Brothers In Arms cover and vice versa. When I was a kid, I thought Graceland is some country or something mysterious like that, also with that mysterious cover. I'd never thought that's just a mansion of a famous musician.

I am not able to eliminate any album. Too many great memories with each of them. Does that make me a bad person?

Not one bit Tomcaster, it is after all a 'bit of fun' - I admit as the poll goes on I think we will all find it incredibly tough to eliminate albums....

No, I can't really say I have a least favourite album, as each one has a lot of good songs, but for the sake of the poll I did choose one.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Sorry to see that the On every street album is out first.

Let's see which one is next.

Me too; I listen to that one probably more than the others.

Good job we are all different. It is after all just a small Poll nothing too serious....

Poll is too controversial for me. I delete albums that I don't like. Oh no !  :)
