    I'll take the lucky number 42. I like that entire album, though I especially favor Telegraph Road. Otherwise, Communique is my favorite DS album.

    Awesome karma, but not in. I won a different karma recently & don't really feel like I deserve another. Good luck to all!

    Reading pg2, seems like #42 is taken. How about #21?

    Shangri-La is probably my favorite Mark Knopfler album--I don't really like Kill to Get Crimson but Get Lucky is pretty good.

    The magic number is 172. Looks like a lot of people were gun shy about picking a high number ;)

    jephdood is the winner with a guess of 167. Congrats jephdood :cheesygrin: Drop me a PM with your address and I'll send out the SACD to you in the next day or two.

    Thanks everyone for participating. I'm glad there are so many Dire Straits fans on here!!

    LOL - I think internally that's usually how we all react ;) Thanks though. Glad to contribute a tiny bit.

    And on a related note, the Fedex guy just dropped off my Dire Straits 'Communique' and 'Making Movies' SACDs a few min ago. Hopefully 'On Every Street' gets the treatment as well.
