Love the Cars... another great band from Boston (from your man in Boston). Their debut album from 1978 was awesome and ahead of its time. Their follow up album from 1979 "Candy-O" was even a little edgier and also had a bunch of great songs. Songs to react to: Debut album: "My Best Friend's Girl" "Good Times Roll" "Bye Bye Love" "You're All I've Got Tonight" "Moving in Stereo." From Candy-O: Title Track ("Candy-O") "Let's Go" "Double Life" "Dangerous Type" "It's All I Can Do"" "Got A Lot on My Head"

Love that you're revisiting The Cars!!! You've only heard their song "Magic" and imo.... it's NOT the best introduction to them!🙅♀ THIS song is more like it!!👊💯 They've got quite a few hits worthy of checking out (of course, I'm gonna leave a short list at the end of my comment!😁) Anyhwoo, back to your reaction.... Love what you said about spending time with girls in the past doing "stupid" shit like eating, watching movies etc and that for a guy to say "I don't mind you coming here and wasting all my time" means he messes with you. I'm gonna take that as you mean the guy likes & respects the girl and just simply enjoys spending time with her, regardless of whether it leads to anything between the sheets (although us girls know you boys always have that little hope in the back of your minds! lol!!😉🤣😂) . You asked us about whether any of us feel The Cars are simply a vibe so umm.... my answer is hell YES!!! Are they a "go-to" for me?? No, but when one of their songs starts playing.... I'm all in!!💯 Keep going with them, I think you're gonna really like what you hear!! So, here's a short list of some of my favorites from The Cars.... 1.) "Bye Bye Love" 2.) "Tonight She Comes" 3.) "Good Times Roll" 4.) "You're All I've Got Tonight" 5.) "Drive" Great pick and awesome reaction Biz!!😎❤

Candy-O was the 1st album i ever bought, I went right back the next day and picked up the debut album. They used two lead singers, Ric Ocacek the rhythm guitarist and writer of all Cars songs, and Ben Orr (RIP) who sang this song and played bass. David Robinson played drums and was the style guru for the band. Greg Hawkes was the keyboardist as well as sax and a myriad of other instruments. The secret weapon was Elliott Easton the lead guitarist, left handed and brilliant who never over played anyone even though he was the best musician in the band. Next songs: Candy-O (with Shoo be doo) as the intro Got a lot on my head Moving in Stereo/All Mixed Up (together, it is mandatory) Double Trouble Its not the Night Running to you Cruiser Hello Again Stranger Eyes You are the Girl

I was in college in New England when The Cars album came out, and it was everywhere all the time. The Cars were on both the commercial radio stations in Boston and Worcester, but also on the college stations, which was not the normal trend. The were a bridge from the 70's to the 80's, a little more technical than earlier bands but still with an edge and attitude.

Boston produced some great rock bands, ironic for a city that reeks of Old Money and Higher Education. Even the garbage collectors have masters degrees. J. Geils were superb practitioners of blues/50's R&R but they were STUDENTS of that genre. Still, nobody did it better. Aerosmith - talented but..pfft. IMO. Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers, another good one. Their drummer David Robinson went to The Cars. The Cars carved their own eclectic niche, Byrds-like harmonies, a dark Velvet Underground vibe ("wasting all my time time.." Pure Lou Reed). One Boston band that nobody has ever heard of..The Rings. They did a tune, Third Generation, that is on my short list of all-time perfect bangers. If you react to it you will give them their 15 minutes of fame and make a name for yourself. And I'll hit the like botton

Just found your content. Great to hear someone pulling out the magnificent work of the cars. So original, so catchy, so melodic. I've always loved them. I still have the studio album this song came from on original vinyl. No way they're compatible to Queen or Bowie though. Check out Let The Good Times Roll.
