I love The Cars. Their songs were very well written, even the light and silly ones. They had a variety of brand sounds, sweet and bubblegummy such as “Bye Bye Love, subtle and sexy, as in Who’s Gonna Drive You Home? Poignant and anthem like as in Let The Good Times Roll. It was a well developed, multifauceted band.
The lead singer has been ill for a long time, and refuses to perform publicly any longer. The Great and Masterful Todd Rundgren of Philidelphia has toured with others singing the lead parts from time to time.
Benjamin Orr died 16 years ago. He was better then Ric Ocasek IMHO.
