1	Kill to Get Crimson (2007) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Given that Kill to Get Crimson follows Mark Knopfler's yearlong collaboration with Emmylou Harris -- inaugurated by the album All the Roadrunning and followed by a tour, subsequently documented on the live set Real Live Roadrunning -- it might be reasonable to presume that it bears a slightly heavier folk influence, as if Emmylou had rubbed off on ... see all copies from £7.67! new only from £10.15!
2	Brothers in Arms (1985) more music like this by Dire Straits Brothers in Arms brought the atmospheric, jazz-rock inclinations of Love Over Gold into a pop setting, resulting in a surprise international best-seller. Of course, the success of Brothers in Arms was helped considerably by the clever computer-animated video for "Money for Nothing," a sardonic attack on MTV. But what kept the record selling was ... see all copies from £2.15! new only from £5.46!
3	All the Roadrunning (2006) more music like this by Mark Knopfler/Emmylou Harris This lush and earthy collaboration between Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris may sound like it rose from an amiable weeklong studio session, but the 12 tracks that make up All the Roadrunning were actually recorded over the span of seven years. The boot-stomping "Red Staggerwing" and the gentle "Donkey Town," both of which were bumped from Knopfler ... see all copies from £6.25! new only from £6.25!
4	Dire Straits (1978) more music like this by Dire Straits Dire Straits' minimalist interpretation of pub rock had already crystallized by the time they released their eponymous debut. Driven by Mark Knopfler's spare, tasteful guitar lines and his husky warbling, the album is a set of bluesy rockers. And while the bar band mentality of pub-rock is at the core of Dire Straits -- even the group's ... see all copies from £3.84! new only from £7.00!
5	Sailing to Philadelphia [Warner] (2000) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Mark Knopfler's second solo album might as well be called Dire Straits' eighth studio album, though Knopfler abandoned the group name back in 1996, dispensing with hefty sales in the process. There was never much doubt that the fame and lifestyle coincident with platinum sales made him uncomfortable, and discontinuing the Dire Straits billing was ... see all copies from £4.94! new only from £6.03!
6	Love over Gold (1982) more music like this by Dire Straits Adding a new rhythm guitarist, Dire Straits expands its sounds and ambitions on the sprawling Love Over Gold. In a sense, the album is their prog rock effort, containing only five songs, including the 14-minute opener "Telegraph Road." Since Mark Knopfler is a skilled, tasteful guitarist, he can sustain interest even throughout the languid ... see all copies from £2.69! new only from £7.00!
7	Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits (1998) more music like this by Dire Straits Exactly ten years after Dire Straits' first compilation, Money for Nothing, appeared in the stores, their second, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, was released. Though a decade is a significant span of time, Dire Straits had released just two subsequent albums -- 1991's On Every Street and 1993's On the Night, a live album culled ... see all copies from £5.61! new only from £10.15!
8	Neck and Neck (1990) more music like this by Chet Atkins/Mark Knopfler Working with Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler had a rejuvinating influence on Chet Atkins. Knopfler has Atkins moving toward his country roots, but both guitarists still play with a tasteful, jazzy sensibility -- however, Atkins has abandoned the overt jazz fusion pretensions that sank most of his '80s records. With its direct, understated ... see all copies from £4.39! new only from £7.16!
9	Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time (1990) more music like this by The Notting Hillbillies On hiatus from Dire Straits, guitarist Mark Knopfler joined with Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips, and Guy Fletcher for 1990's Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time. The result is a low-key, joyous run-through of mostly traditional, blues-based songs with a handful of originals. Despite the high-profile presence of Knopfler, the Notting Hillbillies ... see all copies from £1.10! new only from £4.93!
10	The Princess Bride (1987) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Mark Knopfler's original music for The Princess Bride utilizes dreamy washes of synthesizers overlayed with warm acoustic instruments and hints of percussion. It's a great formula, often drifting through a gauze befitting a film that plays like a fairy tale. At the same time, songs like "Cliffs of Insanity" and "The Fireswamp and the Rodents of ... see all copies from £2.72! new only from £7.00!
11 view cover	Making Movies (1980) more music like this by Dire Straits Without second guitarist David Knopfler, Dire Straits began to move away from its roots rock origins into a jazzier variation of country-rock and singer/songwriter folk-rock. Naturally, this means that Mark Knopfler's ambitions as a songwriter are growing, as the storytelling pretensions of Making Movies indicate. Fortunately, his skills are ... see all copies from £3.60! new only from £7.00!
12 view cover	Screenplaying (Music from the Films ...) (1993) more music like this by Mark Knopfler This album presents excerpts from four movie scores written and performed by Dire Straits leader Mark Knopfler: Cal, Last Exit to Brooklyn, The Princess Bride, and Local Hero. The music is reminiscent of the calmer parts of Dire Straits songs: melodic, lyrical, and touching. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £7.19! new only from £7.19!
13 view cover	On Every Street (1991) more music like this by Dire Straits It took Mark Knopfler more than six years to craft a followup to Dire Straits' international chart-topper, Brothers In Arms, but though On Every Street sold in the expected multi-millions worldwide on the back of the band's renown and a year-long tour, it was a disappointment. Knopfler remained a gifted guitar player with tastes in folk ("Iron ... see all copies from £2.19! new only from £7.00!
14 view cover	Money for Nothing (1988) more music like this by Dire Straits Released in late 1988, as everyone was waiting for the follow-up for Brothers in Arms, the 12-track Money for Nothing does an adequate job of summarizing hits and highlights from Dire Straits. Since the group only released one studio album after this compilation, and that really didn't produce any blockbusters, Money for Nothing winds up being a ... see all copies from £2.19! new only from £11.49!
15 view cover	The Ragpicker's Dream (2002) more music like this by Mark Knopfler With his second post-millennium album in just two years, Mark Knopfler has already equaled his meager (non-soundtrack) output for the '90s. And while he isn't reinventing himself, The Ragpicker's Dream is a pleasant, classy, often inspired effort whose unassuming charms are best appreciated after repeated listenings. The memorable riffage that ... see all copies from £4.94! new only from £10.15!
16 view cover	Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler (2005) more music like this by Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler This 22-cut double-disc set finally gets at it. Issuing a single disc of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler would be a silly thing at best and a hopelessly frustrating one at worst. When the band burst on the scene with "Sultans of Swing," there was a lot happening in rock music, but most of it was under the radar and remains forgotten except in the ... see all copies from £8.29! new only from £13.13!
17 view cover	Communiqué (1979) more music like this by Dire Straits see all copies from £6.03! new only from £7.00!
18 view cover	Local Hero (1983) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Dire Straits leader Mark Knopfler's intricate, introspective fingerpicked guitar stylings make a perfect musical complement to the wistful tone of Bill Forsyth's comedy film, Local Hero. This album was billed as a Knopfler solo album rather than an original soundtrack album, with the notation "music...for the film." Knopfler brings along Dire ... see all copies from £4.08! new only from £5.16!
19 view cover	Shangri-La (2004) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Shangri-La, Mark Knopfler's fourth solo release and his first since breaking his collarbone, shoulder, and seven ribs in a motorcycle crash in March 2003, finds the eternally laid-back Dire Straits frontman in familiar territory. Instead of constructing a song cycle about his brush with mortality -- the wry "Don't Crash the Ambulance" aside -- he ... see all copies from £5.49! new only from £10.34!
20 view cover	Cal (1984) more music like this by Mark Knopfler With the core of Dire Straits augumented by Paul Brady and Liam O'Flynn, Knopfler set out to give this score a somewhat Irish spin, though keeping that light. A quiet, reflective set of cues that eschew false dramatics in favor of supporting the story. Knopfler completists will want the entire album, of course; others might as well settle for the ... see all copies from £12.39! new only from £12.39!
21 view cover	One Take Radio Sessions (2005) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Singer/songwriter/guitarist Mark Knopfler may still be recovering from the motorcycle accident that nearly killed him in 2003, but it's no excuse for this flaccid EP of "live in the studio" recordings. Released in 2004, Shangri-La was a bare-bones affair that found the legendary Dire Straits leader assuming a more contemplative and fatalistic ... see all copies from £2.22! new only from £5.53!
22 view cover	Real Live Roadrunning (2006) more music like this by Mark Knopfler/Emmylou Harris Recorded at the Gibson Amphitheatre in California on June 28, 2006, Real Live Roadrunning features live renditions of all of the cuts from Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris' collaboration of the same name, as well as solo cuts from each and Dire Straits classics like "So Far Away" and "Romeo & Juliet." The musicianship is as flawless as expected, ... see all copies from £15.52! new only from £15.52!
23 view cover	Alchemy: Dire Straits Live (1984) more music like this by Dire Straits There is an interesting contrast on this 94-minute double-disc live album (recorded at London's Hammersmith Odeon in July 1983) between the music, much of which is slow and moody, with Mark Knopfler's muttered vocals and large helpings of his fingerpicking on what sounds like an amplified Spanish guitar, and the audience response. The arena-size ... see all copies from £3.53! new only from £11.67!
24 view cover	Live at the BBC (1995) more music like this by Dire Straits Always a quiet act, Dire Straits dissolved quietly in 1995 as Mark Knopfler prepared his first full-fledged solo album. Meanwhile, this documentary effort, the group's third live recording, appeared to chronicle their early days. Most of it was recorded in July 1978, so it is, in effect, a concert version of the self-titled debut album. Tacked on ... see all copies from £4.93! new only from £7.60!
25 view cover	Golden Heart (1996) more music like this by Mark Knopfler Mark Knopfler's debut non-soundtrack solo album, Golden Heart, was, in effect, the follow-up to the last Dire Straits studio album, On Every Street (1991). But it was also a compendium of the various musical endeavors in which Knopfler had engaged since emerging as a major figure in 1978. "Imelda" was cast in the mold of "Money for Nothing," with ... see all copies from £4.39! new only from £7.99!
