Dire straits are s**t.

You are so wrong it hurts.

 

[edgie]

It's cool when someone with pretty popular opinions, on bigfooty anyway, rolls in like an edgelord and just says the same s**t everyone else is.

Admittedly i threw them in. I dont really know them.

I retract dire straits.

 

[Hoos]

Cold Chisel are s**t.
Jimmy Barnes needs to stfu.
Midnight oil are s**t.
Dire straits are s**t.

While I don't consider any of those acts s**t, I don't own a single album by any of them. So that probably says something.

They did some good stuff...and some not so good.

The only song i remember of theirs is that mtv song (it isnt even about mtv though)

Can we all admit that jommy barnes is s**t s**t s**t?

Dire Straight guitarist has a very unique sound and technique - at least have to respect them for that

Yeah my brother in law is a very good guitarist but finds Knoffler's style impossible.

Midnight oil are s**t.

My favourite Midnight Oil song is not one of their more popular efforts:

That's "Money For Nothing". It used to annoy the s**t out of me when it first came out. Never liked it. I also thought the guitar riff was a bit close to the Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash".

I agree about Jimmy Barnes.

He does. I just never got into them.

Loved Cold Chisel but when Jimmy went solo it was like a screamfest which I didn't enjoy, apart from one song which I love . Dire Straits not big on apart from Telegraph Road and Brothers In Arms
Loved the first few Oils albums

Isn’t that about their most successful songs?

YES, Jimmy screams far too much.

I will get around to listening to Dire Straits one of these days.

I can rattle off several more popular tunes they had.

I read several years ago how TDH was more underrated than truly appreciated.

There's plenty ahead of them in the cue, IMHO.

I hated it because of its commercial sound and that it meant the end of rockandroll midnight oil.

Flame trees may be one of the best Aussie songs ever made. other than that I agree that cold chisel suck

I think they made some pretty good music, but Barnes' solo stuff is complete shyte.

If it's had a clip made, then it is one of the songs they've put more weight in to.

I don't like to bag them as I love a lot of their stuff, but from around that time I thought their stuff [including The Dead Heart] became more bland rather than commercial. Maybe both - but I'm with ya re 'the end of rockandroll'

Tell me?

 

[Hoos]

Tell me?

Well...I like older stuff. Just off the top of my head:

The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Free, Cream, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, Deep Purple, The Faces, The Black Crowes...and that's not counting solo acts.
