Dire Straits: Top 10 songs

[Jonny Come Lately]

Having recently contributed to the threads for the top ten Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac songs, I wanted to make a similar one for another of my favourite bands, Dire Straits.

I'll set the ball rolling with my list (in chronological order):
Sultans Of Swing
In The Gallery
Single Handed Sailor
Tunnel Of Love
Romeo And Juliet
Telegraph Road
Private Investigations
It Never Rains
Once Upon A Time In The West (Alchemy Live)
Brothers In Arms

Honourable mentions: Down To The Waterline, Where Do You Think You're Going?, Skateaway, Expresso Love, Love Over Gold

I would probably place the original album version of Once Upon A Time In The West in my top ten anyway, although I definitely rate the live performance as better.

I too have a soft spot for Dire Straits, especially their first album.
