Revisiting their videos. Most bands kinda sound like that that other band over there. "Cars" sound like nobody else.

1 and 3 were good. 2 sucked.

I still have their first two albums in original vinyl. They got a bit too poppy after that.

The leader and main composer, Ric Ocasek, said the band members called him Ric Sarcastic.

He married:

I'm not a huge Cars fan but I know that when I was a kid just looking at that album cover gave me instant wood.

The Cars were one of those bands that, while I could listen to their songs a time or two, they kind of all started to sound the same after awhile. Much like U-2, once you heard one of their songs, you pretty much heard them all.

That said, I appreciated Benjamin Orr a lot as a bass player and singer.

But... you can't see her ass?

I too thought this post was about Lightning McQueen.

my only memory of the Cars was from the MTV glory days. I thought that guy was the weirdest looking dude I had ever seen.

i wish i could find a clip of a video that used to play on MTV. I have no idea the name of the band. It was german or something. The singer was a chic and she had one side of her head shaved. She was in a really short T-shirt type dress and was on her knees singing. We didn't have a way to record or rewind or pause or anything back then.


shit, i can't believe i remembered this video.

Couple of years ago, there was some reference to the Band "Cars" my dad saw on TV. He asked if I knew the band - hell yeah. Hooked my speakers up so he could hear the sound. He was impressed. Mentioned the lead singer (ugly like they all are) married a Super model. Married for 35 years. Saw the news a year or 2 ago they were divorcing. I was bummed out.

Billy Joel/ Christie Brinkley, for example.

Loved the sound back in the 70/80's. You can debate whether you liked it or not, not doubt it was unique.[[/url]

Good studio band. They were garbage live.

He was impressed you knew anything at all.

Probably. Awesome sound on the records and never saw them on the national tour. Not the first band that experienced that problem.
