Discovering The Cars and XTC in 1979 has to be one of greatest accomplishments in life..

[lovejago]

LOVE The Cars now for over 20 years. My favorite, favorite band member was Ben Orr....I "worshipped" him. May he rest in peace. Thank you Northcarolinian for posting this......brings back wonderful memories.... :)

[obxyellowpages]

its okay sweetheart - I am an 80's girl and super love your upload :) music was cool then - that girl

[MrSilkySweat]

The Cars were an awesome band no doubt, but the Panorama album blew very large chunks!

[801liveable]

THIS BAND SOUNDS LIKE ROXY MUSIC..AT LEAST MOST OF IT'S EARLIER STUFF DID...SOME OF THAT WAS A DIRECT TAKE FROM ROXY..EVEN THE ALBUM COVERS TOOK FROM ROXY MUSIC..

[gumersindofernandezc]

Este album que escuché siendo jovencito me ha acompañado siempre.Es a mi entender un tema adelantado a su tiempo, con influencias pop, tecno, punk y rock & roll,por supuesto.Todo un clásico...

[RickESable]

I own this Album on Vinyl. Some good stuff from The Cars.

[Pacisdiligo]

A lot of fans and "critics" just didn't "get" Panorama. Ocasek was far ahead of his time on this one. It was a big departure from the first two albums and was dangerously experimental and "darker" in tone. It took me several listens for the songs to hook me and I've been a "Panorama" devotee ever since. I would rank it second only to the masterful "Candy-O". The songs are an angular, pop-punk blend with sharp hooks that never let go,...not even 30 yrs. later!! 

[natetheguitarkid]

@Pacisdiligo

pop-punk? Hell no!! I'm starting to think you "just didnt "get" this album either. The Cars are alot of things, but pop-punk is not one of them. This is basically a pink-floyd style art rock album, (wikipedia was right for ounce) with more keyboard heavyness.

[Pacisdiligo]

@natetheguitarkid; Pink Floyd style art rock album? I gotta say that that description has never crossed my mind since buying the album 31 years ago. I fail to see any resemblance. The Cars were part of the new wave scene of the latter 70's that evolved directly out of the even earlier UK/U.S. punk scene but with greater musical and lyrical complexity. The terms "punk" and "new wave" were even used synonymously for a while.

[natetheguitarkid]

@Pacisdiligo

They definetly werent pop punk. ive herd the album called art rock before, and it seems to fit well with the experimental nature of the album. But unlike any bands of that era, each song on a cars album sounded totally different then the other, all having different genres. Well me being 13, can only think of one band that can challenge The Cars diversity, that would be The Beatles, but then again, different era's.

[ryanhoyt931]

I love the CARS. When this album came out I had my little convertible and this was all I listened to while I drove. Listening to this now brings back all those memories.

[longsexylegs]

@ryanhoyt931 Ha ha! I was in a 73 black Monte Carlo, jacked up in the back with SS Cragers and a new pioneer Supertuner II. I really thought I was hot!!

[SupernalOne]

this was the only Cars album I ever had, but every song was worthy, and some were enormously catchy - plus all had their unique sound -- a very energetic yet cool & controlled vibe - a classic album, I'd say

[MoJoRod30]

Today's music bites me in the you know what. This 1980 masterpiece blew me away.

[MegaTillydog]

i saw every tour from this one on.....i loved this album. American misfit kids and gimme some slack were big standouts. they opened with misfit kid in concert....the Cars,VH, and ACDC were my favorite bands of the 80`s otherwise that decade sucks musicwise

[THECARS7879]

@MegaTillydog Motley Crue , Poison , Guns N Roses, Skid Row you dont like?

[BoingBoomTCHACK]

Rock at it's greatest. Classic.

[benorrmagic]

Benjamin Orr and Kurt Cobain had the same beautiful tragic faces and haunting vocals...so tragic n unfulfilled lives...:(

[MegaTillydog]

@benorrmagic i wouldent say Ben Orr had an unfulfilled life.....musically i feel all of his best work was behind him.....i`m a big fan so take it the wrong way..now Cobain had many great songs left in him.With him i agree with you

[ScorpioBornIn69]

I remember the music video of this one, one of the very first music videos made.

[ladybluluv]

One of my favs on this album.

[thesanclementekid]

thanks

[zaynzaynzayn]

shocking artsy departure at the time

[evilwitch6662008]

arent the classics always knowin????

[Rick31797]

I appreciate the Cars more today then when i was young.. This was a pretty cool album..

[pandaeyes42]

"Panorama" and David Bowie's "Scary Monsters" were the first albums I ever bought!

Lots of fond memories about discovering music!:

[jeffdeanable]

@pandaeyes42 Great start with those 2 records!

[ogrebattle22763]

Finally somebody posted this great song!

[peterkvideo]

Oh God! One of my favorite songs by the Cars!!!

I LOVE 1980s New Wave!!!

[monkeysflyouttamybut]

Monkey butt flyers?? WTF?? LOL

[monkeysflyouttamybut]

Awesome memories. Miss Ben!

[fenderrlee]

monkey butt flyers!!!!!nice

[ladybluluv]

SO many great songs they had! They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...if they aren't already.

[THECARS7879]

@ladybluluv Thats right they should be, along with KISS, Iron maiden , Rush , Foreinger, Blue Oyster Cult, Yes, Styx, Golden Earring, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Journey, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Chicago, ELO and now Motley Crue too, guys put your votes in today the list of bands missing from the Rock N ROll hall of Fame is to long

[THECARS7879]

@ladybluluv They arent, I think they should go in. The list of bands missnig out of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is to long

[adamantzzzz]

awesome by this time they had become mix/studio masters, lyrics as always there through ric though seemingly a prick ben progresses through

[devin1965]

I think you are right-I didn't look at the stats for this album but I think it was one of the less popular albums-totally agree about a CARS reuninion with at least 4! I was trying to remember if this is the first album I ever bought as a high schooler-and I just cant -I think it was either Panorama (which I listened to all tracks a million times it seems) or Billy Squier -Dont Say No-thanks again for this!!

[devin1965]

I love this song-this whole album brings back memories-very much agree Ben Orr Rest in Peace-sheesh 53 -way too young-thanks for this!!

[Northcarolinian]

You are welcome! It is a real shame that Ben Orr died at age 53. It would have been if at least 4 of the 5 Cars members could re-unite. The New Cars without Orr, Ocasek and Daivd Robinson just don't do it for me. This is one of the less listened to albums, but a very fine effort by The Cars..

[ayshortier]

@Northcarolinian  Ist's my fav

[chiselbrain]

Wow! Y'now the cars were way ahead of the times. There's alot of indi bands that have this same sound now in the new century.

[biollante62]

Fantastic!

[biollante62]

Fantastic!

[Jasonh1966]

With nothing to do! 'cep . . . think about you.

[coachhrothgar449]

Magnificent!
