Dire Straits best song. Yes, better than Sultans. Also one of the all time underrated songs. Never hear it on the radio.

We disagree. But you'll agree Skateaway is underplayed and underrated?? Whereas Sultans is overplayed at the expense of songs like Skateaway and Industrial Disease??

Love love love Dire Straits.

Agree Skateaway isn't played enough

To me this is a very underappreciated tune

I prefer Heavy Fuel.

Unfortunately the classic rock format has turned many great bands into one hit wonders because they will generally only play one or two songs by an artist. Dire Straits catalog should get more play but doesn't.
