So here I am just one day after Ocasek's death and after I happily listen to the song, and then find out after the song that this man just died yesterday.

    Elliot Easton might be the most under rated shredder of all time.....He doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves...Watched him at a show in De Moines IA. in 1989 where he went off on a riff that lasted over 20 minutes and was as good or better than anything Hendrix, Page, Blackwell, Stevens, Malmensteen or anybody else ever did and he did it Live...

      Door to Door was great in that it stepped out into different directions - pop, mixed with some country-western. I think Ric held everything up when he pulled the plug. He was the driving force behind The Cars. When Ben died in 2000, that marked the end of the original Cars' vocal harmonies and sound. Even though they produced one more album together as a group, you just know there's something - someone - missing. It's a damn shame they didn't put out more earlier, but Ric probably saw the lower turn-out during the Door to Door tour that signaled a change in musical tastes of the time. Just a couple of years later grunge appeared and changed the whole hard-rock, pop-rock scene.
      Thankfully, Ben and Elliot put out really cool solo efforts, as did Ric.
      The Cars' sound can still be heard on those recordings which did not receive too much airplay at the time of their release.

    • @johnearle1
      @johnearle1 7 месяцев назад +1

      @@sonorousbelchpipe1021 Waiting 5 years to put out a lacklustre album was a big mistake, especially in the late 1980s. The Cars were an intriguing band. Classified as new wave, the first album had as much rockabilly as anything else. Sadly, they were cursed with their debut album being their best album. It happened to a lot of bands, but their debut is arguably the best ever, with My Aim Is True being the only competition.

    • @sonorousbelchpipe1021
      @sonorousbelchpipe1021 7 месяцев назад

      ​@johnearle1 not sure I understand. The Cars put out a new record yearly starting in 1978. It was three years from 81 to 84's Hearbeat City then another three years to 87's Door to Door, their final album. I say "final" because of Ben's absence on Move Like This. I think they really enjoyed the most success and awards on Heartbeat City due to Mutt Lange's production. Almost every album and song from that era that Mutt Lange was involved with I tend to gravitate to.
      Ric produced Door to Door and although I enjoy listening to that album just like any other Cars' work, it might have been too "eclectic" (to borrow one if Ric's terms!) for mainstream. Like I mentioned, they branched out into different genre music and that might have "lost" some fans since it didn't sound like before. Metallica comes to mind as well after the Cliff Burton era.
