Love Over Gold

This is my favorite Dire Straits album. It is a good album to listen to and every track is amazing. My favorites are "Telegraph Road" and "Industrial Disease".

This album is one of my top dire straits albums! I love all the songs except I can't get into private investigations for some reason. But other than that it's a classic! Here are my top 3 songs: 1. Telegraph road 2. Industrial disease 3. It never rains I am only 14 years old not many people of my age listen to this music my friends mainly listen to newer music I like alot of newer rock too but nothing beats the classics I love old school music!!! Thank U iTunes!!!!!! :D

Awesome!!!!

....and I was fortunate to see the tour for this album as a GI stationed in Germany . I was a minor fan of the band before I saw them live and became a huge fan after seeing them. Mark Knopfler is an amazing guitarist and this CD helps to show his creativeness. A must buy CD for anyone that appreciates "guitar" music.

One of those albums that never gets dated -- classic melodies and stellar musicianship!!

Terra you are absolutely revelation....!

The iTunes review of this album does not do justice to the tremendous compositional virtuosity of Mark Knopfler and the largely overlooked versatility of the Dire Straits rock and roll band. While the Straits made their name with the earlier, radio friendly hits like Sultans of Swing and Lady Writer, their multi-dimensional musical repertoire shines through on the experimental masterpiece, Private Investigations, and the lyrically moving title track, Love Over Gold. While the longer run times may make this album less radio friendly, and thus less appreciated by pithy pop music crits, the songs are a masterful tribute to Knopfler's storytelling prowess and guitar ingenuity. The opening track, Telegraph Road, is Knopfler's tour de force and should always be mentioned with the likes of Stairway To Heaven and Comfortably Numb in the ranks of epic songwriting achievements that will forever bask in perpetual rock glory.

Love this album so much :) and I recommend this album for anyone out there cause this is the best of Dire Straits and is a true Classic!

the main review of this album is way out of touch this is dire straits' best album by far who cares how many tracks there are or if telegraph road is 14 minutes long? it is a masterpiece

When I was 15 or 16 (early 80s) I heard Industrial Disease and immediately went out and bought this album thinking these Dire Straits folks must write a bunch of poppy, dance tunes. To my shock it was all this mellow, melodic piano/guitar duets. Disappointed, the album sat unlistened to until one day I put it on again and listened... and let it wash over me. I was hooked. Telegraph Road is one of the great rock masterpieces of Knopfler's generation. Amazing stuff.
