Dire Strait established in 1977 in London, was called the most popular band in the 80's by some magazines. Their music has sold 100 million copies and climbed to the top of different music charts with many great songs. People say they are the British band with the closest American root in their style of music. Try their top songs such as "Brothers in Arms", "Money for Nothing", "Walk of Life"...The easy going rhythm, beautiful melody and one of the most impressive guitor plays. You won't be disappointed!
A couple fun questions to take with you when enjoy their music, 1) Where did they get the name from? and 2) Have they won any Grammy awards?
