Indeed they did, though even though it’s not from the 80s, I’m more a Sultans of Swing guy myself. Brothers in Arms was also pretty good.

That sums up their popularity.

Sultans is one of my Screw You, Shut Up Favorites.

Eff yesssss.....

I didn’t get into Dire Straits until my mid teens, but this song introduced me to the therapy that is music played as absolutely loud as possible in my first car...would’ve been about 1992. I do remember seeing the debut of this video on MTV though.

Sultans is a staple in my mp3 playlists, but my favorite will probably always be the Alchemy version of Telegraph Road.
