Probably the first band that i descover alone, about 35 years ago (i think that was not a influênce of someone from my family, and came straight from Mtv and radio Fm), Dire Staits were my principal rock option in the first years of the 80's, and the best one i guess (at least for my personallity).
"Money for Nothing" is so important for rock as the songs from bands like the Beatles, Stones, The Who or BB King, this last one from the blues who also had a big influence in this type of music. The song, de videos, MTV and of course rock music in general were never thw same, since was to futuristic and with the state of the art video efects, a blast in that time. But is not the only one, because "Private investigation" or "Walk of Live" are also impressive, in all their single expression.
Also, i remember that epic concert in the old Wembley with Eric Clapton on the rithm guitar, so Dire Staits have many peculiar things, like Knofler way of play the guitar or the modern production of the records, but not with a big legacy since the band was togheter not more than 20 years (wich is too bad). Today Knofler has a sucess solo carrier and the rest of the members is separade by a diferent kind of projects without plans for a reunion (what a shame, gentlements). To bad, because was a band that i will see without any problem and Knofler is still in action. And i like much more a Mark in the band that a Knofler in is solo project (for me is not a option see him solo, only with Dire Straits).
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing
