Your all-time favorite Mark Knopfler song

[Mossguitar]

Telegraph Road.

The lead guitar, the dynamics, the plucked National throughout the verses, the synth, the piano, the organ. The storytelling lyrics perfectly corresponding with the dynamics in the music. The outtro. The vibe. The mood.

I still remember the day I first heard it, in May 1986. I had listened to the BiA and DS records hundreds of times already, but THAT way of playing guitar totally blew me away.

Long Highway today.

Yeah, I forgot to mention Long Highway. And Seattle. Both contenders for me.

Might be Whoop De Doo for me.

But my all time favourite recording is still Money For Nothing. Still sounds magnificent, nearly 40 years on.

Tunnel of Love. No contest for me. Amazing composition, powerful drums and keyboards, great chorus, killer bridge and the most beautiful coda ever written in rock music, including the most ultra gorgeus electric guitar solo ever played or even concieved by mankind. Note by note, it is really the closest thing to Mozart ever seen in rock'n roll for me.

This is a question I cannot answer, he has to many great songs to chose just one.

Exactly. I think so too. I can't.

[Rolo]

As said for some, there are so many amazing songs that is an impossible job to find the 'chosen one'

However, there is one song that gives me goosebumps till today.
I can listen to this song every day and i have the same feelings every time that i listen to it.
I used to sleep listening to this song.

Starts with an organ
Powerfull song
The final climax
The crescendo solo - Best MK solo in my opinion
The piano at the very end.

It all depends upon what mood I'm in from day to day.
