The Best Music Bands Voted By The Public

33. Dire Straits

Dire Straits are considered one of the most influential bands of all time. You might not hear them on the radio every day, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t left their impact on music. Between 1977-1988 (and again from 1991-1995), they became one of the most successful bands of all time selling more than 100 million records.

Some of their best albums include Love Over Gold, Brothers In Arms, and Dire Straits. In 2018, the band finally was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. According to the Guinness World Record, the band has spent 1,100 weeks in the UK album chart.
