Listen to em in my car all the time, lol I saw them inducted into the Rock Hall in 2018 at the Induction Party.

This song is one of my favorites along with "Best Friend's Girl".

If these guys released the "All Mixed Up" album today, 41 years later, it would still be a startling piece of art.

I read a quote once along the lines of "These guys were from the 70s and they still sound like they're from the future" I agree

RIP Mr. Orr

The lead guitar on this song is brutal - and then it's gone. It's just a perfect blast of perfect notes at the perfect time

I wish people still cared enough (and were talented enough) to write songs as well as The Cars did.
