Dire Straits, whose supple, slightly blues-tinged guitar rock was popular in the late 1970s and the ’80s. Their first single, "Sultans of Swing", from their 1978 self-titled debut album, reached the top ten in the UK and US charts. Their sound draws from various influences, including country, folk, blues-rock, and jazz. They became superstars with the multimillion-selling Brothers in Arms (1985), which produced several hit singles—including the chart-topping “Money for Nothing,” a pointed mockery at MTV rock stars in the age of music videos.
