That Unplugged Layla is horrible, but it's one of those tracks that was made even more horrible by its unexplainable ubiquity. From 1992-1993, I probably heard it more than any other song.

if you kick Les Boys off Making Movies you have a perfect album. --PEOPLE LIVING IN COMPETITION (Sandy)

And yeah "romeo" and "tunnel" are a whole other thing, but not the kind of thing you hear on the radio very often.

Did Guitar George know the E7 inversion that George Harrison was talking about upthread? Or maybe Guitar George is George Harrison...

i posted in the noms thread that i hate hearing sultans on the radio, but this poll has made me do a total 180, the lyrics/story to this song are so wonderful, they say everything "American Pie" wants to using 10% as much ink

Only thing I hated worse than that acoustic version of Layla was that acoustic version of Hotel California.

Yup, that's why "Sultans" was my only Dire Straits vote in this. Making Movies is indisputably a classic rock album, but not so much a Classic Rock album.

word but like REALLY late, I'm 33 and didn't even really sniff the genre until late in college.
― Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link
I was listening to "Voodoo Child" yesterday and just marveling at the controlled chaos of the guitars on that song. Astounding every time.
"American Girl" shoulda been higher but I'm happy it's top 30.
