Do you like more DS albums or MK albums ?

[Lis]

I love the (especially the first three) DS albums; to me, it is almost like my younger self's crush on a boyfriend -- madlydeeply in love.   
I love the MK albums like the love of a best friend.  It is a true and multi-layered love.
I voted for DS.

I prefer this guy, mk, who used to be ds, and is now simply mk. Same guy..I have my music on shuffle 96% of the time. So I listen to an mk song after a day song before a nhb song etc...all the same guy.

I agree, Dire Straits is Mark Knopfler. Of course every musician in a band has their input but in the end it's always been Mark Knopfler and his band.

The difference between DS and MK to me is that as DS Mark was attached to a certain pattern whereas as a solo act he can do whatever he wants. Sometimes freedom works, sometimes it doesn't.

Maybe this question should be rephrased to "what do you like more, Mark's early or later work?"
Personally I tend to listen more to the period from TRD onwards opposed to before, though I think the earlier period is more original and musically groundbreaking. Later work however, sounds more coherent and always feels like homecoming, it never tires.

I agree with you, mschaap.    I loved the DS albums, but during the big gap between BIA and OES, I became rather weary of listening to the other five and so I explored lots of other music and also went back to listening to music I had loved in the past and then neglected in favour of DS, which was no bad thing.  So when GH was released I embraced it wholeheartedly and up to now I have loved,or liked every following album.   I still listen to DS occasionally, though!
