    Guitarist, singer, songwriter, and film score composer Mark Knopfler was originally best-known as the lead guitarist and vocalist for the English rock band, Dire Straits, which he co-founded in 1977 with his brother David. Dire Straits' biggest studio album was 1985's Brothers in Arms which was an international hit and spawned several chart singles. It was also the first compact disc to sell a million copies and is largely credited for launching the CD format. After the Brothers in Arms tour Dire Straits went on a lengthy hiatus, with Knopfler concentrating mainly on film soundtracks. Over the past 12 years Knopfler's solo career has included many collaborations including the 2006 release of the much acclaimed All The Roadrunning with Emmylou Harris. In 2007, Knopfler released his most recent solos album, Kill To Get Crimson. Knopfler is one of the most respected fingerstyle guitarists of the modern rock era and was ranked #27 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
