    Ocasek was a really great songwriter, Ben had a wonderful voice, the harmonies were soo seductive and the band were brilliant. They were near perfect.

    Brief explanation about the 80's. There was a completely new generation of kids and musicians who were so tired of the old burnt out classic Rock sound that dominated up until about the time this record came out; this actually one of the first "New Wave" (which would become Alternative Rock the following decade of the 90's) records to hit and set the trend in 1978. It sounded so different from everything else at the time except 'Punk' which is where it all originated; everyone wanted to sound completely different from anything and everything everyone else was doing and all those synths and electronics, and computers came around right at the perfect time.

  • @ronwilliams6565

    I'm glad some people are figuring out that a good said of headphones makes a difference.
    Maybe someday the young generation old figure out that music is much better when you don't listen to it in a deluded digital format.
    This whole generation has been deprived and lied to about quality sound.

    I can listen to The Cars' first two albums anytime. The group's sound is a perfect mix of oldtime basic guitar-driven rock sound and new wave synth. Add in Ric Ocasek's quirky but memorable lyrics and you have a unique sound. Elliot Easton is such an underrated guitarist. The self-titled debut album is an all-time classic. Let The Good Times Roll is probably the most basic song on the LP. Please listen to Best Friend's Girl and then the rest of the album. Candy-O is also a great album.

    One thing different about The Cars is, though they produced music targeted at the young people of the time, both Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr were old for a band debuting their first album in June of 1978. Orr was a few months shy of 31 and Ocasek was 34 years old. Compare them to Def Leppard, who's debut album came out in 1980. The average age of the band members was 19. You guys should try "You might think" next. It won the MTV music video award in 1984.
