Still, you'll find stuff you really like on every album.
That said, their "best" album imo is either their first, "Dire Straits" or "Love Over Gold" which includes the incredible "Telegraph Road". My current favorite is "Communique", though that's because it has a number of songs that hold a lot of personal meaning to me right now.
If you really want a mind-blowing DS experience, Alchemy Live is the ticket. Knopfler & crew's musical virtuosity on full display. Along those lines, with any song you like, google "Dire Straits {song name} live" - you'll find multiple excellent variations of the song. DS was one of those bands whose songs took on a whole new dimension live.
I'm so psyched Knopfler's touring this year. Gonna see him 9/18 at the Berkeley Greek Theatre
