This week our hosts Umapagan Ampikaipagan and Ezra Zaid get stuck on an album they say represents straight up, laid back rock at its finest: Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. Charting at number one worldwide, it spent ten weeks at the top spot in the UK Album Chart back in 1986, the year after it was released. It is the 8th best selling album in UK chart history, and also one of the world’s best selling albums, at over 30 million copies sold worldwide. Check out this week’s edition of Untitled, where our hosts reflect on some of the finest hits of the 80s, Money for Nothing, Walk of Life and Brothers in Arms.
