>Why are you dissing Dire Straits?

Cos of their selling-out, middle-of-the-road dirges, Mark Knoppler's annoying mumbling voice, and cos he wore a sweat band round his head all the time. Sultans of Swing i thought was great when it came out, great guitar riffs and concept, making THEM sound like they were "sultans", then we got cack like "We gotta move these microwave ovens ...".
