Do any of you remember this classic from 1977? the Dire Straits' big opener, Sultans of Swing, was a real blast and got me into this music. Mark Knopfler is still active and just released a new album a few weeks ago, but is no longer touring. A style-defining, unique sound, voice and guitar always recognizable in the general noise of our time. Great music

This is amazing! I didn't know you love there! I also love Flamenco. We all Indians do. Here's one Bollywood song that's loved too much. I think it's got some good flamenco in it.

How could you not zap this classic

An all-time classic.
Mary Spender and Leo Moracchioli did a fun metal (well, metal-lite) cover a few years back that I also enjoy a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0RV0kgdqJU

That is the difference between past and present musical instruments. If previously musical instruments were not so complete and still classical, now musical instruments are complete and modern.

I'm not a huge music guy, but I love this song. When I was in high school, my grandpa gave me his car and this was one of the tapes that came with it.

Nice. Really nice. My dad was a great Jazz aficionado. And Pink Floyd
