Too much soul and bluesy guitar feel for one white man!!!

The first Dire Straits album is simply a masterpiece from start to finish. Easily one of my all time favorites. There are >many< that rank in my all time favorites..but few that I never, ever tire of hearing. Their first album is one of those...I never tire of listening to it.

On my list is Aqualung for the reason of the guitar solo. Second best guitar solo ever recorded is the solo on Romeo and Juliet where he plays against his own delay. Brilliant stuff.

I think they should probably get best synthesizer/keyboards for "Waiting for the Sound of Thunder"....

The music still runs through my head.

That FastBall song "The Way" is pretty good blues keyboard. Watch for them, they're on their way up.

The great guitar solos in Rock seem endless, but find someone playing awesome piano...

That's why I like ELO. They Rock on guitar, keyboard, violins, cellos, you get the idea... The sign of a truly awesome band. Not one instrument, but a lot of them working together.

That's why I wasn't as sold on Rush, or Triumph, or Boston (although all of them are very good)... All guitars... If you listen to a whole CD of Boston, your ears are ringing (even at normal volume).
