    Hi All...

    same riffs..

    I just noticed that Shock The Monkey (Peter Gabriel), and Back On The Dance Floor (Mark Knopfler) sound similar.

    Ciao!

    Personally, I don't hear it. I should listen to Down the Road... a bit
    more though. I didn't like it as much as Tracker. Should give it
    another shake.

    Hello Nigel!

    When I first heard Knopfler's song my first reaction was "gee,
    that sounds familiar". Took several plays to finally retrieve
    the Shock The Monkey lyric from the dark recesses of my brain
    and realize THAT's IT! ..albiet a slower and rather cool
    version too.

    You don't hear the similarity? It's the main, constant melody
    that's the same.
