I always dug Dire Straits, notably since Mark Knopfler set out to deliberately not play as loud as The Who or The Rolling Stones. 

Also, he plays mostly fingerstyle, and a unique style at that. While I need to get better with the pick (it just take a boring amount of repetitive practices), I like playing without one. Always drove my dad nuts when I'd change the attack sound in situ by smacking the strings back-handed with my nails rather than grab a pick.

Anyway, dunno how true the stories around writing this one are, but it's a fantastic duet on its own:

Never know why this stuff pops into my head, or why two disparate things inhabit my mental space simultaneously.

I've been on a 30 year boycott of Metallica ever since they sued their own fans.

But Van Morrison is awesome and that's my favorite song of his.  I'm pretty sure I've posted it to this thread several times over the past many years.

Another favorite similar in tone and vibe to that one, is this one:
