Mark Knopfler Solo Album Elimination Poll - Round 5

[dustyvalentino]

Sorry for the delay, feel free to start the next round after this one ends if I don't get round to it!

[quizzaciously]

Lol rip all the voters, now this is impossible

[dustyvalentino]

I know, getting into flip a coin category now!

No worries.... 

[Knopflerfan]

Actually this round was easy enough with GH having the boot and I now know the order of elimination for me now with GL being my fave!

Not quite yet.

Found this one difficult.  Definitely not the first two but found the last three difficult to choose between.  I decided to check the track listings and list the number of tracks I'd consider among my favourite and came up with this:

GL - 4
SL - 4
RPD - 7

Really surprised myself with the result, especially for RPD which I hadn't really rated so highly.

Oh yeah, these albums are filled with great tracks, that's why it's so hard to decide. I was barely able to vote for Golden Heart simply because I have an emotional connection to Get Lucky, and Shangri-La and The Ragpicker are simply masterpieces. Sailing To Philadelphia, I'd listen more to it rather than GH. So I voted... Barely! Next one is going to be funny.

GH is an amzing album, well they are all amazing but in this poll I listen to GH the least out of the remaining albums....
GL, Ragpickers and Shangri-la are just like you say - Masterpieces

ONLY 4 tracks from SL & GL? Poor show.......

Well, you've got to be strict!  These are songs I'd consider timeless in the catalogue of Mark's work and the ones I'd go to straight away when playing the album.

[Knopflerfan]

Fair enough but just 4 tracks each from both of those masterpiece albums?

[Knopflerfan]

 Oooh, Ragpickers Dream with the most votes so far...

[rmarques821]

Seems pretty obvious by now that STP will win.

It was obvious for me right from the start, even though STP is my least favourite album.   True, there are some really great songs on the album, but not enough for it to be one of my favourites.
