I like every song Mark has ever written, some more than others, but there is something good in every song, I don't skip any song either, why would I? It's Mark Knopfler!!! One of the many great things about Mark is how he has and still does develop as a song writer, he has said many times that he considers himself a song writer, not a guitar player, which I would agree with, in the same way, I think of Eric Clapton as a guitar player, not a song writer. It's no surprise that someone of his age is not into the song writing he did when starting out as a person in their 20's he is a master craftsman now, and has been for some time, he is extremely respected by people and artists in the music industry. I have read interviews with guitar players in metal bands who say how much they love his guitar playing, I have watched classical guitarists play versions of Mark's music. I remember in an interview from about 1992 with Mike Oldfield, he said "I feel, all the music I have made, and all the albums I have made, has not really taught me anything, It's taught me a lot of things to avoid" and I feel Mark could relate to that.
