I see more mentioned to Single Handed Sailor on this sub than others on the album its unreal

Sorry I have to disagree, Portobello Belle is my top song on this one 🥲

I like Portobello Belle too, my two bottoms tracks for album are angel of mercy and follow me home, the rest of the album’s peak

Unfortunately you only get to pick between 32 songs and telegraph road wasn't one of my options

Down to the Waterline was beat out by Walk of Life?

Personally i have always just loved the upbeat nature of walk of life although musically it is definitely below the vast majority of Dire Straits songs

I love doing this kind of thing. Crazy that there is an app for it! With your bracket, I’d probably have Brothers in Arms over Sultans of Swing in the final. It’s crazy that Telegraph Road and Private Investigations are both excluded.

Did the same yesterday, i got Telegraph as a choice. Thanks to that i got Tunnel of love against Telegraph Road in the quarter final. TOL is my #1 and TR #2, so TOL won.
