And what in the world is so under-rate about Dire Straits? Weird Al made a parody of one of their songs, Money for Nothing->Beverly Hillbillies. It pretty much tells you a band made the big times if Wierd Al is going to turn one of thier songs into a parody. And that is like 1,000,000 times better than being on the cover of Rolling Stones and by the way Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits made it on the cover anyway, it pretty much shows that RS and mainstream critics was giving them recognition and not ignoring them which would make them under-rated.
