well somebody's "worse" is bound to be somebody else's favourite. I bet we will not agree on one.


(edited after I realised that you did not forget the word "song" and you really  meant just "solo" arf arf, I haven't been drinking (yet) .
Still, what I said about somebody's worse blah blah still applies so I'll leave it)

I can honestly say, there is not one solo I have heard Mark play, that I thought, that is bad!! Some are better than other's, some are out of this world, but, that is what makes Mark extra special for me, he just can't play a bad solo, he has to much feel, and such a great touch.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

I heard many of that in many Sultans of swings live versions, sometimes some wrong notes, sometime some wrong combinations of scales, sometimes looks he wants to do something different at that very same moment and well, better don
You might get lucky, now and then

Then it has to be Hill Farmer's Blues from the album - because it is way too short!  ;D

Finding a bad MK solo on record is virtually impossible.

But, and I cannot understand why, Planet of New Orleans never really grabs me. It's the only MK song with a lot of guitar that I'm not particularly fond of. Is he playing jazz notes or something? I don't know what it is.
