The Cars are an American rock band that emerged from the early New Wave music scene in the late 1970s. The band consisted of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Ric Ocasek, lead singer and bassist Benjamin Orr, guitarist Elliot Easton, keyboardist Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson. The band originated from Boston, Massachusetts, and were signed to Elektra Records by George Daly, then A&R head, in 1977.

The Cars were at the forefront in merging 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synth-oriented pop that was then becoming popular and which would flower in the early 1980s. The Cars started fresh with their debut album The Cars which went on to go platinum in late 1978, The Cars debut album was called a "genuine rock masterpiece" by allmusic. Probably the most successful and well known song from the album "Just What I Needed", started as a demo in 1977. The song was sent as a mix tape to a local DJ in the Boston area, who played the song in heavy rotation. This soon caught the attention of other DJ's, which led to the signing of the band by Elektra Records in 1977. The Cars have mentioned this numerous times including in their "last" interview in June 2000. Robert Palmer, music critic for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, described The Cars' musical style by saying: "they have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the '50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend."

Allmusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine commented on their style saying "the Cars were nevertheless inspired by proto-punk, garage rock, and bubblegum pop."

The band broke up in 1988, and Ocasek has always discouraged talk of a reunion since then, telling one interviewer in 1997 "I'm saying never and you can count on that." In 2005, Easton and Hawkes joined with Todd Rundgren to form a spin-off band, The New Cars, which performed classic Cars and Rundgren songs alongside new material. On October 21, 2010, the Cars confirmed that they have reunited and are recording their first album in 24 years. Greg Hawkes will fill in on bass for Benjamin Orr, who died in 2000.

@97jennifers

I sent you a personal message with the tabs for that part. I kept getting an error when I tried to tab it in a comment reply - Ron

[97jennifers]

@iamRottenRon I'm mainly trying to figure out the part around 1:32 or so...

@97jennifers

Sorry, I couldn't find any for this one, although as I recall it's pretty straightforward. Give it a shot by watching and if you have any problems with a particular part I'm happy to go back to figure out what I did - Ron

[97jennifers]

@iamRottenRon I'm looking for the bass tabs too, actually.

Thanks a lot for checking it out. I really think this was one of the best albums of the late 70's. Each song on side two of the album flowed into one another - classic. All the best - Ron

[girlvegan1]

Great playing and choice of music. That's inspiring to watch. So cool!

Thanks for viewing. I couldn't find any tabs for this one either but the bass was quite easy to figure out. As I recall there are a couple of uploads of The Cars playing this live that helped as well. Let me know if there's any part that you are struggling with and I'll see what I can do to help - Ron
