How about "Industrial disease" from Love over Gold? Another cracking album.

The music in this tune reminds me very much of "Telegraph Road" from the "Love Over Gold" album.

And speaking of Mark, I think his music is just awesome. I have all Dire Straits and about all Mark's albums including the ones with Chet Atkins & Emmylou Harris.

And he puts on a right fine show!

I do agree with the comments about Mark Knopfler's music from Dire Straits and beyond - I have a good selection of his CDs, and the rest I often play on Spotify.

In fact, I reckon 'This Is Us' fits the original parameters of this thread rather well.

'Between the devil and the deep blue sea' - George Harrison

'Dream a little dream of me' - The Mamas and the Papas

Neither of them particularly 'high energy', but both very catchy.

Got my mind set on you - George Harrison

Again, not real high energy, but definitely wonderful songs that I find my self singing along with, loudly, harmonies and all!

The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You
We Five - You Were On My Mind
The Mamas & the Papas - Twelve Thirty

There are no artificial temporal bounds here. I watched The Lone Ranger the other night - they don't come any catchier than the William Tell Overture!
