Of Knopfler's songs on 'Sultans of Swing' I think there are several I prefer to Money for Nothing.. including Sultans itself. But Walk of Life and So Far Away are better IMO... Knopfler and Emmylou Harris (whom I adore) have a TERRIFIC new album out together.

More memorables:

Eurythmics: Most of their 80's catalog

Elvis Costello: Veronica.. Everyday I Write the Book..

Joe Jackson: Look Sharp (album)

AND...

New Order: Bizarre Love Triangle

Industrial Disease off of Love over Gold by Dire Straits around '82
