The Cars

Any fans of this band out there?. I've really been digging their stuff lately, such a fun and tacky but at the same time, musically accomplished group. Love Heartbeat City and the Debut album, one of the best bands the 80's IMO.

We're here, might as well get into it.

Love em. I got really into all their stuff last summer, went through each album. Some great stuff. Even the new release last year was pretty decent. smile

I like Shake It Up, Candy-O and Heartbeat City,Why Can't I Have You is a personal fav. Though all there albums have some great tunes on them. They have some beautiful haunting ballads.

The first album is one of the greatest rock albums of all time, IMO.

The sound was so great. I read where they mastered it on car stereo speakers, so it would sound good in the car. Boy, did it EVER sound good in a car!

One of my favorite 80s bands.

More a fan of one of their least popular albums, Panorama...



...Touch and Go & Gimme Some Slack



...Down Boys & You Wear Those Eyes


A bit darker, less poppy set.

The Cars are one of my fave 80s bands! They did a reunion album called Move Like This and a tour in 2011. Here's a clip from the tour:

"fan" is probably too much, but I do own their first five or so albums (everything until they broke big on MTV) and while I might not dig each and every single track, there are some great tunes on every one of those albums

and I just now found out that they had a new release last year eek

Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

This.

I still have the first three albums on vinyl - and The Cars and Candy-O were among the first albums that I duped on CD. Just couldn't be without them.
