131 Songs - Number 36

Number 36 - Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits

It was another difficult choice. Sultans of Swing reminds me of early Terry Wogan breakfast radio. If I only had one song to take to a desert island it would be Telegraph Road. But Romeo and Juliet on the Dire Straits live album is how I came to be a big Mark Knopfler fan, thanks to Alison and her copy of Alchemy. We went to see Dire Straits at Woburn and it was brilliant. But oh to have been at Hammersmith in those early days of the band. Thank goodness it was recorded for posterity.
