Someone on AMIT posted a link to a new ranking of Mark's solo songs in Ultimate Classic Rock. One could debate these Top 10 rankings, but the reviewer does have some accurate things to say. It also mentioned they will be doing DS Top 10 song rankings later. Here is the link: Ultimate Classic Rock |

Thanks for the link Linda, very interesting, like you say there is no point debating the list as everyone has there own opinions, but I will say I think it was done by someone who actually knows Mark's music, and not just DS. I was not expecting to see songs like Red Staggerwing and Done With Border Reiver in there, so I think these songs were taken for Mark's songwriting talent more than his guitar ability, which to me is what his solo career has developed into. I was also glad to see Darling Pretty in the list, as I think that's one of Mark's best solo songs. |

In doing a bit of surfing, trying to see if the rumor mongers were starting to attribute a release date for Tracker, I came across the follow-up to Ultimate Classic Rock's Top Ten List. This time it is the promised Top Ten Dire Straits Songs. I guess I was a bit slow on the up-take there! Ultimate Classic Rock's Top Ten Dire Straits Songs As with the previous list, their picks are debatable, but they have an interesting take on some of them. I'm not sure I agree completely with some of the reviews of the specific songs, but to each his own! :yay: |

I guess it's kind of an obvious list, choosen by someone you has heard DS on the radio!! Like we have said before, when these lists come out, people tend to talk about what's been left out of the list more than what's on it. |
