Man, that sucks, The Cars are one of my favorites.

They were so cutting edge and never received the recognition for the various genre's they smashed into.

Godspeed Mr. Ocasek, and of course Ben Orr.

Favorite Cars song...not Ocasek, but Orr:

That sucks! We used to listen to the cars when we went to Glamis! Great driving music and easy sing along.

RIP Ric

Not good to read. Grew up listening to the Cars while cruising van Nuys Blvd.

I never went to a Cars concert but really like their Music. Damn.
Rip Mr. Ocasek and of course Ben Orr as C-2 mentioned.
My Favorite is Drive. Maybe lame and mellow to some but played at 11, it just strikes a chord. A Cars version of a Ballad. :cool:

We're heavy on The Cars today. It sucks we all get sucked into singers like they were long lost friends or something.

Damn it.
The Cars were unlike anything I had ever heard when they dropped.
I flat wore out The Cars and CandyO.

“Moving in Stereo” remains a masterpiece to this day.

Sigh...Time marches on.

RIP Mr Ocasek.

Great band. I am glad Ric got into the R&R hall of fame before he passed. RIP Ric.

Many formative years and memories spent listening to them. Times are showing my age lately. :(

RIP Mr. Ocasek

No Joke, I must have went through at least 3-4 copies of Candy-O and The Cars... more than a few Greatest Hits too!

RIP Rick..And Eddie too...

Growing up in the 80's, "Drive" was on rinse and repeat on MTV; couldn't stand it.

It wasn't until a few years later, watching LiveAid, that I finally "got" the song. Written by Ocasek, sung by Orr.

Here, sung by Adams
