[[JustForPun roots,]] ''Love Over Gold'' definitely marked a shift to a more technically complex sound with more liberal use of EpicRocking. This is particularly apparent on ''Love Over Gold'' itself, which opens up with the '''14-minute''' ProgressiveRock suite "Telegraph Road".

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: The narrator of "Money for Nothing" is deliberately designed to be a bigot who doesn't understand what he's talking about. Throughout the song, he decries MTV rock artists as homophobic slurs simply because they earn fame and fortune through a seemingly simplistic method while he's stuck working a dead-end job.
