    They were big, some of their songs are amongst all 80's best in my opinion... Have you heard Tunnel Of Love (live it's even better)?? You cannot dislike that guitar, that solos, that unmistakeable Dm feeling... Oh man

    Heathen Chemistry's a little gem in my opinion as far as their post-2000 work goes. What's The Story (Morning Glory)? is pretty decent and Don't Believe The Truth ticks some of my boxes, but that aside I'm not that up on them. A couple of my uni. friends are big on them, so I get a fair bit of insight, but I'm gonna hit up DM now.

    I know about them fella, fear not, but like I say I really don't like them. Technically good music, for sure, but I really don't like Knopfler's voice. It bores me I'm afraid *shrugs*
