Rank your top 5 CW posters of all time in order

[Line and Length]

I certainly haven't been here long enough to assess the top CW posters of all time. I have, however, enjoyed the diversity, humour and insights offered collectively.

 

[Red Hill]

Burgey seems to be a legit good dude.

 

[GIMH]

No, he's awful.

 

[Shady Slim]

it's hard to do a top five but i think i've settled on RTB, Burgey, Flem, Howe, sledger

so many are hard done by and with a top ten you could bring in any number of Spark, PEWS, GIMH, fred, mags, Adders, and so many more

Great avatar. I listened to Brothers in Arms in the car the other day. The chords and harmonics that break after the build up in Money for Nothing are insane. I'm so familiar with it I sometimes forget how genius it is.

 

[Burgey]

I saw them at the old Ent Cent in 86 on the Brothers in Arms tour. They played so many sold out shows at that venue on that tour alone. By the time they left australia, the word was something like one in 20 people here had seen them

As a newcomer I can honestly say that the quality of posts has, generally, improved since that closed 2007 thread. 10 pages of dross except for one or two rational comments.

that's generally true of an internet as a whole now days IMO

 

[Neptune]

My lack of inclusions are absolutely heartbreaking and entirely justified imo.

 

[duffer]

That Uranus guy was awesome. Miss him so much.

I went to a Dire Straits concert in 2017 in Bangalore but no Mark Knopfler.

Anyway, I'm less a fan and more a devotee of their music - Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road are absolute favorites of mine

 

[harsh.ag]

My favourite band too

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don't like Dire Straits in general, but Romeo and Juliet was genius. "You and me babe how about it" works. "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?" is completely pretentious drivel.

Seems ridiculous. If ever there was someone integral in a band...

Yeah it's a bloody wonderful song

 

[Adders]

The live version from the Alchemy album is my favourite all time song.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah it used to be one of my favourite songs (the Making Movies version, though Alchemy is good too). Can’t think of many songs that hit me as hard as that one. You know when you hear a song and are like hooooooly **** what is that. Seems to happen less and less as I get older.
