Dire Straits - Walk of Life

This is really a great song. It is the 3rd track from the "Brothers at Arms" album released in 1985 which went to #1 in both the UK and the US. It quickly went platinum in album sales and has 21 times since if you count the UK and US sales together. This is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head all day. It has a really catchy tune. Dire Straits maintained their own sound all throughout the 80's when it seemed that everyone else was jumping on the hair band wagon. There was some great hair bands, but for every good one there was 5 that wasn't worth turning on the radio to hear. Another hit from the same album is the mtv anthem from the 80's "Money for Nothing" which was another great song. Well, I hope you enjoy "Walk of Life" everyone and see you tomorrow.
