    The Cars' first hit, Just What I Needed, really made it feel like the 80's were here when it came out in 1978. It is one of my favorite songs of all time. Either the original from the album or the live Midnight Special version. They're both great.

    My favorite Cars songs are Moving in Stereo, You're All I've Got Tonight and the crazy Shoo Be Doo/Candy-O. They also had big hits with Just What I Needed, Bye Bye Love, Shake it Up My Best Friend's Girl. Great MTV videos were Magic and You Might Think.

    The Cars are on my top 5 all time favorite Bands. Up there with The Beatles, Duran Duran, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and U2. The Cars had two "Lead Singers". Rick Ocasek (Pronounced "OK"-"sek") was the leader and primary Lyricist, writing most of the songs. He had a deeper more punk-rock kind of voice. He has the tall spiky black hair, plays the rhythm guitar. Benjamin Orr (The guy singing this song) was the other lead singer. (They actually split the songs almost 50/50 on who sang primary and who sang backing vocals) Ben was "the cute guy" that most of the girls loved, and had the more mainstream pop sounding voice. He played the bass guitar. Together they could weave just about any kind of vibe you wanted to hear from an new wave rock band of the late 70's / early 80's.
    The Cars were ahead of their time. In a way, many of the 80's band copied their style. The Cars sounded "80's" in 1978/79. They were one of the bands that could be called "the tip of the spear" in the New-Wave Rock movement.
    The Cars were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018
    Ben passed away in the year 2000 from pancreatic cancer. Ric passed in 2019 of heart disease. So many great songs. So much talent. Such a huge influence on "the sound" of the early 80's.
    Deep dive. Long Live the Cars...

    Some videos you find of Midnight Special or sometimes Soul Train are live performances but later someone replaced the sound with the studio version. Usually it's easy to tell, especially if it's a song you've heard hundreds of times.

      12 or more records tapes etc for a penny. I’m pretty sure they are out of business. I think most people just took the initial haul for a penny and never bought the records they wanted you to pay full price and shipping for within a time period. 😮

    I see that some people have already got on your case about the Midnight Special not being lip sync and the pronunciation of Ric O-case- ik, so I won't bother you about that.😁 I think the critics were wrong that this was their best song from their second album. IMO, "Dangerous Type" & "Candy-O" were better. Lots to react to with this group including the MTV award winner track "You Might Think" . Also take a listen to "Moving In Stereo". Thanks.

    Not really new, new here, but What would you name your band if you were this talented, had as many hits as they did and sold as many albums as they did?
    Run-Gren. Like Run and Gren. Brilliant artist. Synthesizers were not very old at this time.
    David Bowie and Sweet?
    Dude, I need to shut the f up. I think that is right on. Jump forward into the future and add Psychedelic Furs and a tiny bit of Metallica in there for me, and you can start to taste living in The Cars.
    I will have to check to see if you have reviewed E.L.O.....
