。。。英國「dire straits」樂隊最佳精選 。。。
Title: Sultans of Swing - Very Best of Dire Straits
Artist: Dire Straits
Original Release Date: October 27, 1998
Label: Warner Bros / Wea
Description:
險峻海峽（Dire Straits，雖然因為代理唱片商的翻譯方式使然，在中文領域中通常採直翻譯名，但「dire straits」其實是個英文俚語，譬喻「困境」，因此也曾被譯為困境），是一支1977年時成立於英國紐卡索的四人制搖滾樂队。有別於當時流行的龐克搖滾樂風，險峻海峽是支以經典搖滾（Classic Rock）為主要風格的樂團，1984年的暢銷單曲《金錢無用》（Money For Nothing）是其顛峰之作，除了是他們的首張告示牌排行榜冠軍單曲外，也替其贏得1985年的葛萊美獎，並被選為MTV歐洲台的開台首播音樂錄影帶。
Dire Straits were a British rock band, formed in 1977 by former journalist and teacher Mark Knopfler, initially composed of Knopfler (lead vocals and lead guitar), his younger brother David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and backing vocals), John Illsley (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Pick Withers (drums and percussion). The group split in 1995 when Mark Knopfler started his career as a solo artist.Dire Straits' sound drew from a variety of musical influences, including jazz, folk, blues, and came closest to beat music within the context of rock and roll. Despite the prominence of punk rock during the band's early years, the band's stripped-down sound contrasted with punk, demonstrating a more "rootsy" influence that emerged out of pub rock. Many of Dire Straits' compositions were melancholic. Dire Straits became one of the world's most commercially successful bands, and sold over 120 million albums worldwide. The band's biggest selling album, Brothers in Arms, has sold over 30 million copies.
