** ''Dire Straits'': "Sultans of Swing".
** ''Communiqué'': "Lady Writer", although it wasn't played live very often by the band and never was played by Knopfler himself during his solo career; the song that remained a live staple is "Once Upon a Time in the West", which is also notable since it was extented to 13 minutes, making it an example of EpicRocking.

* SophomoreSlump: Somewhat. ''Communiqué'' is more laidback and less commercial than their first album with few obvious singles (these being Lady Writer and Portobello Belle). It wasn't nearly as commercially or critically successful, and many people were unaware it existed until the remastered [=CDs=] were released. The album has quite a cult following due to its obscurity.
