Named after one of the best song by Dire Straits.It’s a album for all the Dire Strait fans ,it’s a best collection of great songs by Dire Straits.Songs like “Sultans of Swing”,”Romeo and Juliet”,”Tunnel of Love”,”So Far Away”,”Money for Nothing” make this album very special for me,because I am a big fan of Mark Knopfler and this is the album to pick if you want to feel neo-dance culture of 80s.
Sultan of swing :-This song inspired from a band who was performing in a bar where people were so drunk to appreciate the performance of that band,band members were pissed of by attitude of crowd,but in the end of show leader of band said adieu to crowd by saying,” Goodnight and thank you. We are the sultans of swing.” ,this incident gave inspiration to Mark Knopfler.An awesome guitar riff combined with an awesome guitar solo attributed to an awesome performer and composer.
Money for Nothing:-Mark Knopfler wrote it after overhearing delivery men in a New York department store complain about their jobs while watching MTV. He wrote the song in the store sitting at a kitchen display they had set up.This is one of the first animation video of any song and a real hit on MTV.It also won a Grammy in 1986 for best Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.
So Far Away:-One of my favorite Dire Straits’s song, so much emotions from guitar riff and meaning of song is also damn good.It’s song personal favorite of Mark.
Grab this album right away for Dire Strait and enjoy because Money for nothing and chicks for free.
