On the way to work this morning, XPN was playing some kind of countdown of long songs.

I did not hear who they were about to play next and the song started.
Real nice layering, awesome guitar, and all around good sound. The guitar work finally told me it was Mark Knopfler and I thought maybe this song was something new.

Although I like Dire Straits a little and have a few disks, I was not a huge fan and certainly don't know all the music.

So after several minutes Mark started singing..........oye, same old limited monotone range of every song he sings.

Anyway, this song was a great example of good rock. A few verses, jam session, a few more verses, and a killer 5 minute ending jam, some 14+ minutes in all.

The song....Telegraph Road. WOW, what a great jamming song. I really like Mark as a guitar player, songwriter, composer and all around musician. I just can't stand his vocals.



Anybody else feel this way about certain groups? Love the music-hate the vocals?
