Great melodic guitar riffs I've known

I remember buying "Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler". I'd never heard much of the band's music, but I knew the group's name and thought "Why not?" Imagine my surprise when this song came on and I realized NPR had been using it for one of its "buttons," those little interludes between news stories on ATC. I'd really liked it when I heard it on the show, so I was greatly pleased and amused to find it on this album.

Tons of unrecognized badassery in that song. That little riff in the chorus after "what it is" is just awesome.
