Forget Brothers In Arms. Their first album, Making Movies and Love Over Gold are their greatest achievements, underrated like so much great music, and indeed art.
@@thomasmcgorry2176 i don t know why some say that Mk is not fast or technical. You can t play clean consistently if you re not technical. in terms of speed, MK chooses not to. The whole band was fantastic. To me the best songs are: once upon a time in the west, love over gold, tunnel of love, water of love, single handed sailor, ride across the river, private investigation, the man s too big. This song is really good to.
Precisely 4'40'' into this extraordinary song, Knopfler launches a guitar Solo (with capital S) which leaves you speechless. The emotions (mostly anger and desparation) escalade and nothing can stop that guitar. It's a total mystery how ''It never rains'' never made it to the Hall of Fame of Rock&Roll. Talk about underrated songs, this one is right at the top of the list !
WOW and I fookin mean WOW you just know when a knopfler song is 8 mins long and he stops singing amd there's just over 3 minutes left your in for a solo treat, incredible, one genius, knopfler 👴🏼 🎸
Love Over Gold was a very bold artistic statement, especially for its time. Epic length cuts were common in 1972 but certainly not in 1982. Dire Straits went their own sweet way. That's why these albums stand the test of time. This track contains one of my favorite Knopfler solos.
I agree, one of their best efforts. This one wants to be explored and re-lived over and over again. It's an experience on it's own, maybe similar to 'Ride Across The River'. But It never seemed simple to me but very sophisticated. The lyrics will forever be stuck in my mind + that solo, it's just gorgeous and delivers a super unexpected turn. One of his deepest cuts in my opinion.
Best album ever written in my opinion.. I know there are important albums and best selling albums etc... but this hits my many emotions everytime. Mark is beyond words
Album starts with Telegraph Road and you say, "Bloody hell, the rest of the album can only be downhill from here! What a classic masterpiece of a song!" The next song is Private Investigations and you say, "Oh right, so they actually followed it up with another masterpiece just as good.. Damn!" 3 more tracks to go. Industrial Disease and Love Over Gold are brilliant and you say, "Ok, last track. What band genuinely leaves the best til last? Most albums it's track 4 that takes the honours for best song... this is going to be an anticlimax after what I've just heard.." Um...no! Unbelievable!! How wrong can one be? This whole album has blown me away since 1982 when I bought the record.
Someone tell me why we don't see such music today's... Mark is born to what he is: Magician of electric guitar...he is to this instrument what Max Plank is to quantum physics and Einstein to relativity...and now...I am 50 years old and still in love with this music...though I don't know what I was born for...
One of the best storytelling bands out there, and this is one of their best tracks. Also a big fan of "Telegraph Road", but really, the whole album is great. The only other storyteller musician as good as these guys, in my humble opinion, is Al Stewart, which is quite the compliment...
Steely Dan does the musical storytelling as good, only band I know. Not heartfelt like Mark’s but just as literary and cutting; turns of phrase and painted pictures.
@@TheCapedWanderer, shame on me for forgetting Steely Dan. Masters of their trade, and the best at cryptic, enigmatic lyrics. There's a rumor circulating that all of their songs contain lyrics that have secret meanings. Don't know if that's true for all of their material, but I can think of several examples of great Steely Dan tunes that do...
Totally agree, Mark has reached his highest level in guitar playing and songwriting with this fourth studio album, all the 5 songs are masterpieces and the solos are just stunning.
This song is so rich and pure. All the time it remembers me a city, a open and green park, a soft blue sky with few white clouds and a high and strong yellow sun. But with strange stories in the middle and confused minds trying to make good decisions.
Everybody always talks about this is the best ds track or ds album. To me they have multiple best tracks. Just depends on what mood you are in I guess. This song is also one of their best imo.
Genius of Mark Knopfler, he's still in his peak, just have seen him live during his latest tour, amazing gig, and the last one in Madison Square Garden -pure magic
Yes this one of the most underrated Dire Straits songs on a very good album.Telegraph road is a master piece on side one.It never rains is the masterpiece on side 2,when I got Love over gold in 1982 I picked this to be a hit after private investigations and industrial disease ,Love over gold was,and sadly it never Rains was never picked up by the general music stations, the Sound radio station down here in NZ play this on their side b vinyl days, and list it as a lost song of the eighties,so when it comes on I turn up the volume.it has some very deep rifts and great keyboards to match from Alan Clark and of course the bass and the last album that Pick Withers worked on.This song and Follow you Follow me from Communiqu'e are very deep songs.All the Dire Straits Albums are musically profound. So I Agree Mike Foster.
Il y a des internautes qui en font desmix des montages. Quand à moi, j'apprécie ce petit bijou qui parle de vécu.....😊 Marc k. Est un génie du manche et sans médiator 😊👍👌
It's not an obviously flashy solo, and a slow-build, but from about 04:58, this is one of the most the most trippy and beautiful wah-solos ever. I remember hearing this when I was wee, and not realising it was guitar - what weird instrument is that? Great playing by Knopfler - obviously not a style he pursued; a shame as it's masterful stuff.
Truly most underrated song, even I was hearing this album for many years but never this song n it’s guitar solo never touched the soul, but today my daughter n me listened to this part over n over - sweat over there after - incredible, a gem from MK n DS - cheers
Dire Straits c'est surtout et surtout la magies de la guitare qui vous projettent dans l'espace comme des cosmonautes tellement ces notes sont si soignés à la perfections et encore bravo à Marc et tous les autres !.
always like this album closer. if you look at those lyrics are very Dylanesque..in fact it's interesting that between love over gold and brothers in arms Mark Knopfler not only would play on but produce Bob Dylan's great underrated album the 1983 Infindels. that's only my opinion but when you look at the lyrics and the pros and the style of this song it's got some very heavy Bob Dylan leanings to me. that's okay gang if you don't agree I'm just throwing it out there folks
I just love the effect on the guitar, Really pours out the heartache of the song. On a side note, I was on the Wirral in June and just had to play the opening song of the album. If you know you know lol
Man, do I love the phase shift! That gives me chills to hear. In college, in the late 80s I figured out how to do that cheaply for a band that wanted something like that by using 2 HiFi VCRs (did I say cheap? they couldn't afford a phaser), when it worked it was so cool to hear.
Lot's of people pointing that this song is anger, desperate... I guess not to many people know that this song is referring to a broken relationship, a girl Mark fell in love with and it didn't last long, but it left him pretty bad.. That song, just like ''where do you think you're going'' are about this relationship..
Una de las más grandes canciones de Dire Straits e incomprensiblemente infravalorada. Grande, grande, tan grande que la escuché por primera vez con 16 años y 25 años después me sigue poniendo la piel de gallina.
![Dire Straits / Tunnel of Love (Full) / Live Wembley Arena 1985 [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6rlk34NuIoI/mqdefault.jpg)
This album sold over 6 million copies. One of the most underrated albums.
This one is the most underrated piece of the most underrrated album of the DR.
Forget Brothers In Arms. Their first album, Making Movies and Love Over Gold are their greatest achievements, underrated like so much great music, and indeed art.

younes cherradi
You and my friend, is still one of the top, stil underrated and unknown of dire

Hi ☺️
Launches!!!!!
totaly agree
i love this song, one of the best of Dire straits
always has been my favorite DS song..long live Mark
That Guitar Solo He is making it scream in pain. You can litrally hear the strings being totured
WOW and I fookin mean WOW you just know when a knopfler song is 8 mins long and he stops singing amd there's just over 3 minutes left your in for a solo treat, incredible, one genius, knopfler 👴🏼 🎸
For me absolutely the best Dire Straits album.
Only Mark can deliver such painful message and accusation through such warm melody and with so much love.
Fucking masterpiece.
One of the most underrated songs of Dire Straits
Agree. Final part is marvelous
@@numv2 That solo gets me every time.
Gary gari agree!
@Liam Unruly What was that about?
More underrated, possible, but it's a Masterpeace.
And the solo is incredible.
One of their best songs ever. In my opinion x
Télégraphe road et Sultane if Swing Alchimie 😊
Love Over Gold was a very bold artistic statement, especially for its time. Epic length cuts were common in 1972 but certainly not in 1982. Dire Straits went their own sweet way. That's why these albums stand the test of time.
This track contains one of my favorite Knopfler solos.
Best art rock album for me
Or maybe
👍👍
I'm still listening to this album after 25 years it still sends shivers down the back of my neck nice and loud in my headphones,
Best solo ever!!! Such an underrated tune by the straits this
I assume you mean "the best OUTRO ever". (A "solo" would've been followed by *more* lyrics.)
Pfffft, what more can you say about this??? That solo....beyond everything! Mark is the best guitarplayer ever!
Yes!
Agree.
I believe this is the third- or fourth-best guitar solo on _Love Over Gold._
Mark has written MANY masterpieces but there's just something so grasping in this only seemingly simple song that I just have to visit it regularly
I agree, one of their best efforts. This one wants to be explored and re-lived over and over again. It's an experience on it's own, maybe similar to 'Ride Across The River'. But It never seemed simple to me but very sophisticated. The lyrics will forever be stuck in my mind + that solo, it's just gorgeous and delivers a super unexpected turn. One of his deepest cuts in my opinion.
MK is simply the best songwriter.
@@henrymick9648 Ride across the river is not in the same league as this masterwork.
Absolutely right. now I'm going to play telegraph road.. album version.
This is a masterpiece from MK the best guitarist and composer of all time
Best album ever written in my opinion.. I know there are important albums and best selling albums etc... but this hits my many emotions everytime. Mark is beyond words
Best guitar player. You rock Mark Knopfler
Most under rated number they did
It’s also the best number they ever did
First heard this ... 1986
Still blows me away today
34 years later
The best song you never heard on the radio !!!
Most underrated song by DS
Underrated for the others. For me it's in all my DS/Rock playlists.
Exactly, for me too !!!
Sooo difficult to pick a best DS track or best MK solo. So many masterpieces and iconic guitar solos.
True.
That's so true! I change my mind according to what I'm listening to now. Ace music, ace lyrics, ace guitar player. The sound track of my life :)
Feels like driving with wind in your face going to anywhere, doesn't matter here, as long this song keeps playing in repeat!
The pure emotion in those vocals at 3:20 is just magic especially with that guitar. Love over gold has to be my favourite album of their’s
Hell ya! I’m with you
Masterpiece, my favourite studio album of all time
Album starts with Telegraph Road and you say, "Bloody hell, the rest of the album can only be downhill from here! What a classic masterpiece of a song!" The next song is Private Investigations and you say, "Oh right, so they actually followed it up with another masterpiece just as good.. Damn!" 3 more tracks to go.

Um...no! Unbelievable!!
How wrong can one be? This whole album has blown me away since 1982 when I bought the record.
I heard "it never rains" today in my dream and was telling to myself how beautiful it is and here I am listening to it. True story.
The Best,from Senegal (W Africa),over 40 years listening to this Maestro of guitar
Nangadef!
Someone tell me why we don't see such music today's... Mark is born to what he is: Magician of electric guitar...he is to this instrument what Max Plank is to quantum physics and Einstein to relativity...and now...I am 50 years old and still in love with this music...though I don't know what I was born for...
Mad Planck would have to be Eric Clapton in this analogy of electric guitar... Knopfler = Schrödinger.

people tell Brother in arms is best of Dire , but in my opinion love over gold is best album from Dire straits.
Of course, On every street, is a close second
How can you pick. Everything is brilliant by itself🤘🏻😍🎵💃🏼
Kalp Kumud Kumar , in my opinion all albums and tracks from dire Straits are good.
Totally agree, Mark has reached his highest level in guitar playing and songwriting with this fourth studio album, all the 5 songs are masterpieces and the solos are just stunning.
Sure this is ;)
The keyboards at the end are haunting
Those flanger effects on the last 2-3 minutes of the song making it morph is sick.
People overlook Mark's awesome voice ,kick ass imo ,.🤟🎼🎼
This song is so rich and pure. All the time it remembers me a city, a open and green park, a soft blue sky with few white clouds and a high and strong yellow sun. But with strange stories in the middle and confused minds trying to make good decisions.
Cette musique est complétement dingue!!! je n'ai jamais rien écouté de mieux , le meilleur album de tout les temps
Tout est bon chez dire straits.
Underrated
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually rated bullshit,I don't like this except part from 04:58
Grossly underrated
Love over gold is their masterpiece. This song is sheer beauty.
Badass guitar solo
Everybody always talks about this is the best ds track or ds album. To me they have multiple best tracks. Just depends on what mood you are in I guess. This song is also one of their best imo.
I think so.
Exactly. Many tracks are good.
For me, all of them are good.
Genius of Mark Knopfler, he's still in his peak, just have seen him live during his latest tour, amazing gig, and the last one in Madison Square Garden -pure magic
Best track on any DS albums, and never got the recognition it deserved
Yes this one of the most underrated Dire Straits songs on a very good album.Telegraph road is a master piece on side one.It never rains is the masterpiece on side 2,when I got Love over gold in 1982 I picked this to be a hit after private investigations and industrial disease ,Love over gold was,and sadly it never Rains was never picked up by the general music stations, the Sound radio station down here in NZ play this on their side b vinyl days, and list it as a lost song of the eighties,so when it comes on I turn up the volume.it has some very deep rifts and great keyboards to match from Alan Clark and of course the bass and the last album that Pick Withers worked on.This song and Follow you Follow me from Communiqu'e are very deep songs.All the Dire Straits Albums are musically profound. So I Agree Mike Foster.
I like the first song on these Album
This album is a magum opus.
What a great song
What a finish!!! masterpiece
Oh the emotions in this one... Sending shivers up my spine
Il y a des internautes qui en font desmix des montages. Quand à moi, j'apprécie ce petit bijou qui parle de vécu.....😊 Marc k. Est un génie du manche et sans médiator 😊👍👌
Amazing solo at the end
O solo de guitarra e os teclados no final são de arrepiar.
It never rains...
I loved...
Amei esta canção!
Na minha opinião, a melhor do Dire Straits.
🇧🇷
je pourrais mourir pour cette chanson...
A GEM !!! Progressive Rock at its finest !!!
It's not an obviously flashy solo, and a slow-build, but from about 04:58, this is one of the most the most trippy and beautiful wah-solos ever. I remember hearing this when I was wee, and not realising it was guitar - what weird instrument is that? Great playing by Knopfler - obviously not a style he pursued; a shame as it's masterful stuff.
Really. It´s maybe on of the bests solo that Mark Knopfler has created. Better than Telegraph Road, or Sultans of Swing? This goes from each one.
For me it is their best solo. Sultans' solo is overrated in my opinion. It shines only in Alchemy's version.
Agreed. He could've taken another 5mins playing in that style and I'd love ecery bit.
@@andrewlekkas Wembley 1985 is better
This si Dylan's at his BEST. His BEST pupil.
Dylan at his best? His best pupil? WTF???
Stay away from drugs kid!
@@thedutchfisherman7078ok you are right
Best number they did
A beautiful hidden jem
With a finale resembling a hammer like right hand
Truly most underrated song, even I was hearing this album for many years but never this song n it’s guitar solo never touched the soul, but today my daughter n me listened to this part over n over - sweat over there after - incredible, a gem from MK n DS - cheers
The best intrumental ever. Imho
I bought vynil in 1982
Fantastic album
Los teclados en It Never Rains son mágicos, sencillamente mágicos...
This Song really helped me go trough a hard breakup
Can hear some Bob Dylanish features in Mark Knofler's voice a little bit. One of the best rock groups of the 70's and 80's!
Dire Straits c'est surtout et surtout la magies de la guitare qui vous projettent dans l'espace comme des cosmonautes tellement ces notes sont si soignés à la perfections et encore bravo à Marc et tous les autres !.
Mark suit l’harmonie comme personne ... il parle avec ses émotions
Their Best Album ever!!! Love it!!
My favourite from Love Over Gold
always like this album closer. if you look at those lyrics are very Dylanesque..in fact it's interesting that between love over gold and brothers in arms Mark Knopfler not only would play on but produce Bob Dylan's great underrated album the 1983 Infindels.
that's only my opinion but when you look at the lyrics and the pros and the style of this song it's got some very heavy Bob Dylan leanings to me. that's okay gang if you don't agree I'm just throwing it out there folks
And for this album he tried to sing as badly as Dylan, but couldn't quite...
@@asammler 🤣🤣🤣
Master STORYTELLER....think this is one of best on the album ...as good as telegraph...and industrial..
Exact.
Hey don’t forget the rhythm guitar is freaking great too.
Hal Lindes was the man - he plays that menacing sounding riff when the song starts to pick up at the 2:20 mark.
masterpiece
Never heard a song change personality so violently since 'Day in the Life'.
That split second pause at 3:53... the first time I heard this I had no idea what was about to ensue
This song is so underrated
Un groupe qui à connu beaucoup de réussite durant une partie des 70's et une partie des 80's.
Very very good markknofler is the best in the word
My last Dire Straits, favorite song ❤
still tremendous after all these years!!!!
My favourite Dire Straits LP.
I just love the effect on the guitar, Really pours out the heartache of the song.
On a side note, I was on the Wirral in June and just had to play the opening song of the album. If you know you know lol
4:40 inizia un viaggio che ogni volta ti spazza via verso L ignoto, L infinito
Excelencia musical
Das beste Lied aller Zeiten!
So many of these lyrics stuck with me... had to pull it up again.
Dire Straits... Que saudades... Nunca mais teremos uma banda dessas. Mark Knopfler envelheceu e mudou seu estilo
At 3:20 that organ riff in the background is one of the best things I've ever heard. Always tears me up.
Great keyboards
Man, do I love the phase shift! That gives me chills to hear. In college, in the late 80s I figured out how to do that cheaply for a band that wanted something like that by using 2 HiFi VCRs (did I say cheap? they couldn't afford a phaser), when it worked it was so cool to hear.
One of the best Mark Knopfler's guitar solo !
I think it's the best one.

That song, just like ''where do you think you're going'' are about this relationship..
such a calm falls over me with the song intro ... soooo good
Love the build up!
Just no words outstanding to say one
just incredible guitar play by the group that is cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow...just wow !!!!!!
epic masterpiece
Combination of song from other albums too, but this is one of my favorite Lp's.
Yes it never raiñs, it pours....💜💜
Quanto è bella...
At thid pt Alan Clark had joined the band and he takes em to another level
John illsley showed us his bass guitar talent with "it never rains"
alucinante guitarra psicodelico espacial lo maximo de mark....
Já não se faz música assim!!!..
Amo essa banda
