Picked up some vinyl Cars albums, remastered by Ric Ocasek in 2016 (R.I.P.). Heartbeat City and Shake It Up. Gotta be one of my favorite bands and just easy to listen to with so many great songs.

Since You're Gone and Tonight She Comes are a couple of covers my band plays from time to time.

Funny I never got into them when they were putting out hits but really enjoy them now. “Drive” is a great song.

Two of my most fav songs of theirs. Saw them in Houston many years ago. So many great songs and enjoy listening to them, especially in the summer when doing projects at home.

Speaking of recognition, Elliot Easton doesn't get enough recognition for his many incredible guitar solos:

Surprisingly, they’re sometimes overlooked. They created some
some truly radio friendly music and could deliver live.
I heard a hilarious interview when Ocasek recounted the time they opened for Dickie Betts’ Great Southern. It went as expected: dodging beer bottles…

I never bought anything by them, but back when I was in a band, we did some of their songs. It was goofy fun stuff.
These days, it's cool when they play their stuff on radio.
Unpretentious.

Hell yes. 1984 was a great year for music and videos, and the video for Magic is still one of my favorites. Great song...

Was never really a fan, wasn’t a genre of music I listened to. Took my girlfriend at that time who was a huge fan, probably around ‘79 or ‘80, to see them at the Riverside Centroplex in BR. Was an amazing concert. The music, and especially the sound was fantastic. Great surprise. Really began to appreciate what they were about.

That was the first vinyl LP i bought with my own money. I still have it and it still sounds great. Hello Again is a killer track.

Let’s Go, My best friends girl, and Just what I needed
were staples on my 80’s mixed tapes.
