Mark Knopfler Solo Album Elimination Poll - Round 6

[dustyvalentino]

Go!

[Knopflerfan]

Sorted...

STP has to go away, it's not a proper MK solo album, but the remaining of the DS sound on him. That record CAN'T be his best solo!

My post early in round 5:

"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."


So thanks to that RPD has been convincingly dumped!  Obviously one of the first two is next to be booted out!

Early I know but what the !!! Shangri la least fave?? Wow!!!

Agree!  STP is my least favourite solo album!

Now we've come to the point where it's REALLY difficult to make a decision. I went with Shangri-La, although Boom Like That alone would be enough to save the album.

SL iş a great album with lots of percect songs. Like Eveybody Pays, 5.15am, Boom like that, Song for Sony Liston, Our Shangri la, Sucker Row, Postcards From Paraguay, The Trawlerman's Song, Whoop de doo...

And not folkie stuff. Just perfect MK and guitars...

Totally disagree. There are so many Live Classics on that one.
SAN, STP itself, What it is (ok studio version is better than live) , SB
Also the wonderful BA, El Macho, PW

<Tough choice this time.
Had to choose GL this time. But it was hard

Classics that sounds to what says in the sticker, the voice and guitar of dire straits.

That's not Knopfler, the solo artist

No offence but what sort of logic is this?  The albums should be taken on their own merit, not whether they sound like a MK album or not!  If you don't like it fair enough, but that logic surely doesn't make any sense at all.

That's too funny! Sometimes I imagine the world where Dire Straits doesn't exist and it's all MK solo... Nothing would change, not a single second in history.
