Agreed with all comments on Dire Straits albums. Once you you have a couple, you'll have the whole set by the end of year. Communique is my favourite but the others get played regularly as well.
Then as 4-2-7 says, try Mark Knopfler's solo work.
Agree all 6 DS
Never could get past Geddy Lee's voice (like an ice pick to the forehead).
Rush, talented band. My son loves them.
Not my cup of tea. YMMV
Enjoy!
If you're a Rush fan then you might also like....... Metallica credits them as one of their major influences, I've been a fan since the early seventies.
