I listened to a couple of songs of Dire Straits a while ago (the most popular one, Sultans of Swing and some more) so I can say I quite like them, they sound very fresh, it’s nice to hear, even though there are other songs like Walk of Life that I don’t like that much. I don’t know why but this one feels kinda dull in my opinion. About Mark Knopfler, I think it feels similar to Dire Straits, very fresh and calming. I listened to What it is. I like both of them but I don’t love them either.
