Too many to choose from these days for me.  Wherever I Go and Long Cool Girl are just banal.

Haha DMG, it seems our taste is different again, I LOVE Wherever I go. Long Cool Girl is ok too, but not a favorite

You're such a sentimentalist!  ::)

romeo. private inv., fish and the friggin bird.

+1
And also Walk of Sh~~e, Rudiger, Done with Bonaparte, Home Boy... :hmm

Done with Bonaparte is  in my opinion one of Knoplfler's best solo songs. The music is good but the lyrics are amazing. The live version in Cordoba 2010 is especially beautiful.
To me The Fish And The Bird has good lyrics in it and the music isn't too bad. Knopfler's singing is what ruins it  :)

My least favorite solo song is Coyote and least favorite DS song is Communique. I love the album though.

Yes, it's a lovely song, full of quiet gratitude, sincere love and tenderness. There is no trace of pretentiousness in it.
Such an apparent simplicity requires hard work to achieve it.

I don't particularly dislike any of Knopfler's songs, from his solo career. I'm not a fan of his Walk of Life style songs like Do America, and some of his songs can be a bit dull but thats all  :)

But for every bad song he writes he, writes another 10 great ones  ;D

Are these songs seriously considered to be Mark's worst by some   ??? ?

Back to Tupelo 
Done with Bonaparte 
Hand in Hand 
Hard shoulder 
My Parties
Prairie wedding
So Far away 
Sucker row 
Whoop de doo 

Well, it's interesting how different we all are! I'd say the songs above are some of his strongest-
