Where should I start with Dire Straits?

Further to Rubber Biscuit's recommendations, let me add in a few tracks from their 1978 self titled album.

If you enjoy some of the more laid back songs from Brothers in Arms (such as Why Worry and So Far Away), then you'll really love the tracks Six Blade Knife and Water of Love. Awesome driving music, and they have a very "grass-roots" sort of feel.

Besides which, where to else start at but the start?

Also, don't forget the eponymous 1988 compilation Money for Nothing. If you skip the tracks that have been radio played to death (almost all of them), buried on here is an awesome live version of Portobello Belle, that is far better than the previous album version and was previously unreleased.
