Dire Straits‘ ‘Brothers in Arms’ feat. ‘Money for Nothing’ is their fifth studio album released on May 13, 1985 by Vertigo Records.
Katrina and The Waves’ “Que Te Quiero” pairs breezy instrumentation with heartfelt sincerity, while Dire Straits’ “Walk of Life” offers a feel-good, keyboard-driven charm that refuses to take itself too seriously. Bruce Willis’s quirky “Comin’ Right Up” leans into playful pop-rock energy, and Slade’s anthemic hit “My Oh My” delivers glam-tinged balladry with wintry theatrics. Robert Palmer’s “She Makes My Day” exudes romantic elegance, contrasting sharply with The Cross’s bold, funky swagger in “Shove It.” The Waterboys’ “Fisherman’s Blues” merges Celtic folk with wistful emotions, and Simple Minds’ “Waterfront” pulses with raw, urban reinvention. Cheap Trick’s “The Flame” soars as a polished power ballad, and Mike + The Mechanics’ “The Living Years” hits an emotional nerve with its reflective softness. Joe Jackson’s “It’s Different for Girls” cuts through romantic clichés with sharp lyricism, crafting thoughtful musical introspection.
