Mark Knopfler Solo Studio album elimination poll - Round 4

[Knopflerfan]

So, with the 'Down the Road Wherever' now 'gone down the road forever'! (In our Poll anyway!) Its now round 4 with just 6 solo album's to choose your next least favourite solo album..

Personally this round is straight forward enough and then from the next round it gets really tough!!

Not looking good for his songwriting tbh.  The later DS albums were gone first and now it appears the later solo albums are going first too.

Not really - 5 in the top half versus 5 in the bottom half.

I'm not so sure the early albums will win, you never know but they aren't my fave personally...

Done!

Personally if Golden Heart had to go next I'd be pretty much pissed-off. But it's too early to say, let's see what happens.

Well, when I wrote this Tracker looked next to go but someone is determined to prove me wrong! Let's not forget LOG was 2nd and the debut album won in the DS poll with OES and BIA first to go.

I voted for Tracker. I still find the album title strange, I get what Mark's explanation for it is, but it just doesn't feel right to me, isn't it the only album title not mentioned in the lyrics?  Although the bonus songs are really good.

Between Ragpickers & Tracker thus far.......

The bonus songs are just immense.....

I was under the impression that you really like OES and listen to it a lot, even though it's the last DS album!  MK's songwriting must be OK in that case?   BIA also went out early - was that because of the songwriting or was it just too popular?

Most musical artists do their best work when they are young.

Funny that Sultans is still by far the best known song he ever did after 45 years.

That said, he's had a remarkably consistent run in that time.

Between Ragpickers & Tracker thus far.......

They're both in my top four, so at least one of them will stay in, all being well!

And so it's almost time and Tracker looks like being 'thrown' out as it has a lead of 7 votes....

Fair enough.
