1	Brothers in Arms (1985) more music like this by Dire Straits Brothers in Arms brought the atmospheric, jazz-rock inclinations of Love Over Gold into a pop setting, resulting in a surprise international best-seller. Of course, the success of Brothers in Arms was helped considerably by the clever computer-animated video for "Money for Nothing," a sardonic attack on MTV. But what kept the record selling was ... see all copies from $2.29! new only from $10.76!
2	Dire Straits (1978) more music like this by Dire Straits Dire Straits' minimalist interpretation of pub rock had already crystallized by the time they released their eponymous debut. Driven by Mark Knopfler's spare, tasteful guitar lines and his husky warbling, the album is a set of bluesy rockers. And while the bar band mentality of pub-rock is at the core of Dire Straits -- even the group's ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.76!
3	Alchemy: Dire Straits Live (1984) more music like this by Dire Straits There is an interesting contrast on this 94-minute double-disc live album (recorded at London's Hammersmith Odeon in July 1983) between the music, much of which is slow and moody, with Mark Knopfler's muttered vocals and large helpings of his fingerpicking on what sounds like an amplified Spanish guitar, and the audience response. The arena-size ... see all copies from $5.29! new only from $24.51!
4	Making Movies (1980) more music like this by Dire Straits Without second guitarist David Knopfler, Dire Straits began to move away from its roots rock origins into a jazzier variation of country-rock and singer/songwriter folk-rock. Naturally, this means that Mark Knopfler's ambitions as a songwriter are growing, as the storytelling pretensions of Making Movies indicate. Fortunately, his skills are ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $10.76!
5	Love over Gold (1982) more music like this by Dire Straits Adding a new rhythm guitarist, Dire Straits expands its sounds and ambitions on the sprawling Love Over Gold. In a sense, the album is their prog rock effort, containing only five songs, including the 14-minute opener "Telegraph Road." Since Mark Knopfler is a skilled, tasteful guitarist, he can sustain interest even throughout the languid ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $13.78!
6	Communiqué (1979) more music like this by Dire Straits see all copies from $8.99! new only from $13.78!
7	Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler (2005) more music like this by Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler This 22-cut double-disc set finally gets at it. Issuing a single disc of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler would be a silly thing at best and a hopelessly frustrating one at worst. When the band burst on the scene with "Sultans of Swing," there was a lot happening in rock music, but most of it was under the radar and remains forgotten except in the ... see all copies from $11.25! new only from $21.94!
8	Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits (1998) more music like this by Dire Straits Exactly ten years after Dire Straits' first compilation, Money for Nothing, appeared in the stores, their second, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, was released. Though a decade is a significant span of time, Dire Straits had released just two subsequent albums -- 1991's On Every Street and 1993's On the Night, a live album culled ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
9	Money for Nothing (1988) more music like this by Dire Straits Released in late 1988, as everyone was waiting for the follow-up for Brothers in Arms, the 12-track Money for Nothing does an adequate job of summarizing hits and highlights from Dire Straits. Since the group only released one studio album after this compilation, and that really didn't produce any blockbusters, Money for Nothing winds up being a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.44!
10	On Every Street (1991) more music like this by Dire Straits It took Mark Knopfler more than six years to craft a followup to Dire Straits' international chart-topper, Brothers In Arms, but though On Every Street sold in the expected multi-millions worldwide on the back of the band's renown and a year-long tour, it was a disappointment. Knopfler remained a gifted guitar player with tastes in folk ("Iron ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.75!
11 view cover	Greenpeace: Rainbow Warriors (1989) more music like this by Various Artists In 1989 31 bands donated songs to a fundraiser compilation for international activists Greenpeace. Originally available on vinyl, the CD set includes four bonus tracks. The music is a diverse sample of 1980s rock originally released in the U.S.S.R. as Breakthrough, where it sold 500,000 copies on the day of its release. Eventually U.S.S.R. sales ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.95!
12 view cover	On the Night (1993) more music like this by Dire Straits A live document of Dire Straits' 1991-92 world tour supporting the On Every Street album, On the Night works sporadically, offering enough good material to interest fans but not enough to win back the commercial audience earned by Brothers in Arms. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.98! new only from $7.49!
13 view cover	Knebworth: The Album (1990) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.95! new only from $2.95!
14 view cover	New Millennium Love Songs (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Though it features some songs by relatively contemporary artists -- Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait" and Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" chief among them -- New Millennium Love Songs features too many selections from the '80s to truly live up to its title. While Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack's "Tonight I Celebrate My Love," Linda Ronstadt & Aaron ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $16.52!
15 view cover	VH1: The Big 80's Arena Rock (2000) more music like this by Various Artists VH1's Big '80s series continues with this volume of Arena Rock, a style that actually peaked in the late '70s, but certainly endured into the MTV era. Some of these artists -- Genesis, Dire Straits, Billy Idol, or Duran Duran, for example -- qualify more as album rock than arena rock, but quibbles over definition aside, this is a pretty good ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $16.52!
16 view cover	Nintendo: White Knuckle Scorin' (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.41!
17	Twisting by the Pool (1983) more music like this by Dire Straits Dire Straits followed the ponderous Love Over Gold five months later with a three-song EP paced by its title track, which lived up to its name by adopting a twist beat, making it the closest thing to exuberant rock & roll this seemingly humorless band had ever attempted. "Two Young Lovers" had the same early rock feel, and even "If I Had You" was ... see all copies from $6.00!
18	Earthrise: The Rainforest Album (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.00!
19 view cover	Live at the BBC (1995) more music like this by Dire Straits Always a quiet act, Dire Straits dissolved quietly in 1995 as Mark Knopfler prepared his first full-fledged solo album. Meanwhile, this documentary effort, the group's third live recording, appeared to chronicle their early days. Most of it was recorded in July 1978, so it is, in effect, a concert version of the self-titled debut album. Tacked on ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $19.19!
20 view cover	Kuschelrock, Vol. 14 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Like the other volumes in the German-import series, Kuschelrock, Vol. 14 is a double-disc compilation of recent hit pop singles, sprinkled with a few odd choices at least twice as old as the majority of the songs present. In some cases, the songs are relatively minor hits by major artists, but that isn't always true. The bottom line is that there ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $4.99!
21 view cover	Classic Rock Box: WNEW-FM 25th Anniversary Box (1992) more music like this by Various Artists One of the more confusing box sets, Classic Rock Box collects a slew of FM album rock standards in one hulking black box. No rarities are included -- it would defeat the intent of the box. Plenty of good tracks are included here, to be sure, but they don't make much sense in the context of being surrounded by quite a few duds. In fact, it's ... see all copies from $34.95! new only from $599.80!
22 view cover	Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler [Canada Single Disc] (2005) more music like this by Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler This 22-cut double-disc set finally gets at it. Issuing a single disc of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler would be a silly thing at best and a hopelessly frustrating one at worst. When the band burst on the scene with "Sultans of Swing," there was a lot happening in rock music, but most of it was under the radar and remains forgotten except in the ... see all copies from $32.36! new only from $32.36!

24 view cover	Fender 50th Anniversary Guitar Legends (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The half-century history of the Fender guitar and its role in popular history is documented on this collection featuring such Fender-powered hits as Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water," Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day," Dire Straits' "Sultans of Swing," Jimi Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic," Nirvana's "Come as You Are" and Dick Dale's "Miserlou." ... see all copies from $7.97!
