Dire Straits foi uma banda britânica de rock formada em 1977 por Mark Knopfler (guitarra e vocais), seu irmão David Knopfler (guitarra), John Illsley (baixo) e Pick Withers (bateria). Embora formada em uma época em que o punk rock reinava absoluto, decidiram lidar com as convenções do rock clássico, firmando-se em uma sonoridade mais leve, que agradou ao público cansado do som superproduzido do rock dos anos 70. Não tardou para que a banda se tornasse conhecida mundialmente
