English rock band Dire Straits formed in 1977 and made an impact with their 1978 self-titled first album. The band, led by guitarist and singer Mark Knopfler, became famous for its unusual rock, jazz, and country sound. Their 1985 album “Brothers in Arms,” with its polished sound and thoughtful lyrics, sealed their music legacy. Knopfler’s fingerpicking guitar style set them apart in songs like “Brothers in Arms” and “Money for Nothing”.
Popular culture is full of Dire Straits posters, pins, and T-shirts, motivating fans and non-fans to dress the part.

This relationship signifies a move from arena-filling rock to intimate singer-songwriters by combining their zeitgeists.
