dire straits is a british band that came out in 78.
i think the first time i was moved to tears by music was a dire straits
show at red rocks amphitheatre in morrison, colorado in 1984.

speaking of german bands from that era, there was a cool synth-rock band
that had several albums out and i can't remember the band name.
i haven't found it yet in my album collection, either!
they did a song called transeurope express, another about the autobahn,
another called she's a model...
anyone?
