The CARS Bye Bye Love

The Cars carved a unique niche within the New Wave Genre. . Ben Orr was sooooo Gifted & unsung. Sorely Missed. RIP Benny!

they were just the "rock" section of the New Wave movement New Wave was a movement, not a Genre. It was Anti-Disco, Anti-Hippy

This here is your basic combination of Beatles, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix, Zappa, hints of new wave and miscellaneous rock 'n roll all rolled up in one. Oh yes, and amazing guitar and vocals. Other than that, just your average white band. ; )

The Cars were One of those Groups, That had so Many Hits it was hard to Decide which One of them was the Best.

We're not worthy! We're not worthy! ;o)

One of the best, no question.

Here in Houston, at least for suburbanites like myself, in high school all we listened to was Van Halen and the Rolling Stones. When The Cars debuted in 1978 they were completely different from anything else we had heard. Of course the really COOL kids in my high school were already listening to Joy Division and the Sex Pistols by that time... but the Cars were still pretty different for us.

One of Boston's greatest ever bands. One of America's best ever too.

KILLER.
Love Ben's VOX bass too.

BEN...Missing you brother!
Plays a bass with a pick....hardcore.

Hats off.
