    Love the cars . So fucking tight. Innovative. Ahead of the curve. . Particularly dig Easton and his chopsand Hawkes keys. But yeah… who wouldnt like the whole fuckin album? This sure takes me back. I remember this coming out and seemed like no body really “got it”
    Some just couldnt see their way past skynrd and nugent . Which I like too.
    So glad the Cars existed in my lifetime.

    Couldn’t have said it any better dprocks17 I feel the same way. Great songs, fantastic band!

    I took these guys for granted for too many years. These guys were ahead of their time, glad I tuned it out for a while, because its great revisiting this stuff. Hell of a band, underappreciated probably.

    Back in the day, I used to go out in my older brothers car and listen to the Cars on his car stereo. I play guitar now but didnt back then but always loved music and this **** blew me away back then.

    I’m glad that you feel the same way I do about this amazing band!!! Hands down, Candy-O and The Cars were THE ****!!!

    Well hi there! It’s very nice to meet someone as wildly verbal about what they love as I am lol :) Good God fricken Almighty I love this band–and this song. It’s interesting to see that while they truly were innovative (hell yeah they were!) and nobody was doing what they were doing and as soon as I first heard their first single, I KNEW they’d make it. Duh lol! It’s cool to see how much they improved on their instruments.. check the 1984 -1985 of this song.. FANTASTIC!!!!

    My God!!! what can I say?? The Cars fucking blew my mind right into the next GALAXY!!! Talk about some MAJOR TALENT and INNOVATION ( no one sounded like them in the late ’70’s…) and to top it all off we get this extemely beautiful boy ( Mr. Ben Orr ) who’s got a GREAT voice and could be fucking related to my idol ( Peter Murphy ), and maybe they are “distant cousins”!!! Anyway, I fucking love,love,love the “early” Cars ( after this album they went more “commercial”… unfortunely!!! )

    That’s Greg Hawkes, he played the bells in this one too.

  13. DRNO777 Says:

    Yea, I probably am. I’m 45 and not ashamed to be. Glad I knew about this band when they were new.

    Yes, the first two albums were their very best. Ben sang most of the songs on them as well. Ric took most leads on later albums. Commercial success yes. Better music. I don’t think so. Listen how close this is to the actual song. Live players they truely were. I do so miss this group.

  18. kushisaac Says:

    i prefer the first two albums, after that, I stopped following them, seemed they went more popish.

    Vintage Cars. This is from a performance over in Germany at a local pub. You can rent the entire concert on Netflix. The accent of the german who introduces the Cars to the audience is cool.
