Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits (1978)

This was the best thing since sliced bread! Dylan alias Mark Knopfler and guitar like nobody combined in one. The stylus (not to say needle, for those old enough to know what I'm talking about) went right through the first track. I just wanted to hear that riff one more time. And what was that about 'some boys fooling around in the corner, they don't want to hear the jazz go down, it aint what they call 'rock n' roll'?. There are words and there are words! Apparently the BBC originally didn't want to play this song because of it's high lyrical content. Where would Dylan be?!

Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty (1978)

The sax riff and Rafferty's unique voice made this song. Then the words rang true, people were talking about moving out and buying some land., even I bought land around that time. It was a restless time, but no I was not a rolling stone compared to some. Unusually long the song set a mood with the long sax breaks.
