10 Great Songs By Dire Straits
Are you a fan of a lot of popular music from the 1970s and 1980s?
If so, what do think of acts like Eddie Money, Rod Stewart, Carly Simon, Rick Springfield, Huey Lewis and The News, and Dire Straits? Do you own much of their music other than maybe one of their “greatest hits” compilations? Do you consider any of those musicians to be among your absolute favorite acts?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, that’s wonderful. I’m not insulting any of the acts I mentioned above. They’re all very talented. However, I wanted to use them as examples of very popular singers and bands who are maybe slightly under-appreciated by a lot of the listening public, myself included. Singers and bands whose songs we may have loved when they were brand new releases and got played a lot on radio and MTV, but maybe we didn’t invest much of our other time or money on those acts.
And that’s fine too, of course. It’s not that we disliked those acts, but we only have so much time and money, right? Right.
One thing that makes me sad though, as a lover of a lot of the music made by the acts above, is that a lot of the popular songs from years ago by them are pretty much ignored or forgotten now by radio, satellite radio, and even the listeners who loved the songs when they were first released.
